About This Webinar
What are industrial gases and where do they come from?

This presentation will give an overview of this chemical industry and many of the gases employed beyond nitrogen, oxygen, argon and carbon dioxide. We’ve all seen cool videos of liquid nitrogen and oxygen on social media, what else are they good for?

Aside from freezing things and burning stuff, there are many other applications that industrial gases are vital for, from inertization, oxidation and water treatment to health care and industrial cryogenics. Some history of the gases will be presented and also how they’re used.

Hang on, isn’t CO2 bad for the environment?

Sustainability is a driver in the industrial gas industry like most others and the shift from fossil fuels to renewables will also be discussed. Supply modes will also be presented with some discussion on design & process safety.
