OXYGEN (O2)

Oxygen (O2) [O_2,] is a colorless and odorless gas, (It) is vital for most life forms on earth. Medical oxygen is essential in Hospital and Clinical care for resuscitation and surgery and for various [other] therapies. It is also mixed with Nitrogen or Helium to create underwater diving mixtures. Oxygen is obtained on a commercial scale through the liquifiction [liquefaction] and distillation of ambient air at air separation plants. A second puri¬fication [purification] process may be necessary if ultra-high purity levels are required. High-purity oxygen can also be produced through the electrolysis of water. Membrane techniques are used to lower [address high] purity requirements.

On the water treatment front, oxygen is an effective way of purifying waste water and treating sewage. Other applications include sealing glass ampoules in the Pharmaceutical industries, Oxygenation of Water for aquaculture, Steel production, and so on.

At EFRAC, the [EFRACs] Gas division engage [engages] in a wide range of analysis [analyses] like O2 [O₂] testing based on the requirements of the clients. Our of [EFRACs] adequate expertise in separation techniques and have [its] profound knowledge of analysing unknown chemical compounds [enable its]. Specialists with industry based [industry-based] experience can [to] analyze cases and deduce [uncover] the root cause of reported problems.
