Steel and Coal Industries

Nitrogen Generators — Inerting and Blanketing

**Steel Industry:** Nitrogen is used to create an inert atmosphere in steel manufacturing processes to prevent oxidation and other unwanted reactions during production, storage, and transportation of materials.

**Coal Industry:** Nitrogen is utilized to inert coal mines and storage areas to reduce the risk of fire and explosions by displacing oxygen.

Nitrogen Generators — Purging and Cleaning

**Steel Industry:** Nitrogen purging is used to clean and clear pipelines and equipment of contaminants and moisture, ensuring high-quality production.

**Coal Industry:** Nitrogen purging is used to clean coal handling equipment and systems, maintaining operational efficiency and safety.

Nitrogen Generators — Heat Treatment

**Steel Industry:** During heat treatment processes such as annealing, nitrogen provides a protective atmosphere, preventing oxidation and improving surface quality.

**Coal Industry:** Nitrogen is used in the heat treatment of coal to enhance its properties for various applications, such as reducing moisture content and improving combustion efficiency.

Oxygen Generators — Steel Manufacturing (Oxy-Fuel Combustion)

**Steel Industry:** Oxygen is used in oxy-fuel combustion processes in blast furnaces and steel melting furnaces to enhance combustion efficiency, increase temperatures, and reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

**Coal Industry:** Oxygen is used in the combustion of coal for power generation, improving the efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of coal-fired power plants.

Oxygen Generators — Pollution Control

**Steel Industry:** Oxygen is used in flue gas treatment systems to help reduce emissions of pollutants such as carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

**Coal Industry:** Oxygen is employed in pollution control systems in coal-fired power plants to reduce emissions and improve air quality.
