Oxygen (0₂) constitutes approximately 21% of the air, has a gaseous specific gravity of 1.1 and has a boiling point of -297.3o F (-183.0oC). Air separation process that uses either cryogenic liquefaction and distillation adsorption technologies to produce oxygen. Oxygen can be stored and shipped as either a gas or a cryogenic liquid.

Uses of Oxygen

The principal uses of oxygen stem from its strong oxidizing and life sustaining properties.
- It is used in medicine for therapeutic purposes.
- In the metal industry for steel and metal-cutting applications.
- In the chemical and the petroleum industries,
- Oxygen is used in the pulp and paper industry for a variety of application, including pulp bleaching, black liquor oxidation, and lime kiln enrichment
- In the glass industry, oxygen/fuel combustion is used to reduce particulate and Nox emission in melting operations.
- In the mining industries liquid oxygen is used in making explosives cartridges for blasting rocks.
- Astronauts and high-altitude pilot and deep - sea divers use oxygen
