INTRODUCTION
Industrial gases are gases manufactured and supplied
to various industries.
Industrial gases are used in many industries and
processes such as oil refining, chemical, steel and
pharmaceutical plants. Bulk industrial gases are used
as such in many industrial and medical
applications.
Some are used in hospitals, pharmaceuticals,
energy generation, food and beverages,
commercial sectors, agriculture, construction,
biotechnology, aeroscience, manufacturing and
production of other products and many others.
