Industrial gas refers to a group of gas materials that are manufactured specifically for use in industry. These are the "building blocks" of modern manufacturing, used in everything from steel production and chemical processing to electronics and healthcare. Industrial gases are primarily atmospheric gases or those derived from hydrocarbons. They are usually supplied in high-pressure cylinders or as cryogenic liquids. Common examples include:Oxygen : Used for steelmaking and medical support. Nitrogen Used for food preservation and cooling. Argon a staple for welding shielding gas. Acetylene Used for metal cutting due to its extremely hot flame.
The ability to turn air into a liquid—the foundation of the industrial gas industry—was the key breakthrough. Carl von Linde (1895): This German engineer is often considered the "father" of the industry. He patented a process for liquefying air on a large scale. This allowed for the separation of air into pure oxygen, nitrogen, and argon through a process called cryogenic distillation. William Hampson (1895): At almost the exact same time, British inventor William Hampson developed a similar air-liquefaction process.
