On-site gas production technology refers to the process of generating the required industrial gases directly at the usage site through gas separation and synthesis equipment. This method not only improves the stability and safety of gas supply but also significantly reduces transportation and storage costs, especially in industries and medical fields that have strict requirements for gas purity, pressure, and supply volume.

The core advantages of on-site gas production lie in its flexibility and efficiency, enabling precise control over gas production and delivery based on different production needs. Common gases produced on-site include nitrogen, oxygen, argon, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and others.

Nitrogen is the most commonly used industrial gas, usually extracted from the atmosphere using air separation units. Its inert chemical properties make nitrogen an ideal inert gas in many industrial processes, especially in the chemical, electronics, and food industries. In chemical reactions, nitrogen is often used to provide an inert environment that does not participate in the reactions. In food packaging, nitrogen is used to replace air to reduce oxidation and extend product shelf life. In electronics manufacturing and the semiconductor industry, nitrogen plays a critical role, often used to create protective atmospheres to prevent oxidation and other environmental contamination.

Oxygen is another widely used industrial gas, primarily obtained through air separation technology. Oxygen has a broad range of applications, especially in metallurgy, healthcare, and chemical industries. In metal smelting and steel production, oxygen is used to enhance combustion efficiency and temperature, facilitating metal melting and refining. In the medical industry, oxygen is used to treat respiratory diseases, provide oxygen therapy, or support anesthesia processes. In the chemical industry, oxygen plays a significant role as a key reactant in oxidation reactions and various chemical synthesis processes.

Argon is another important inert gas commonly used in welding, chemical synthesis, and electronics industries. In metal welding, argon acts as a protective gas to effectively prevent oxidation in the welding zone, ensuring weld quality. In chemical synthesis, argon provides a stable atmosphere to prevent unwanted side reactions, especially in high-temperature or high-pressure environments. In semiconductor production and electronics manufacturing, argon is also used as a protective gas to maintain a pure and stable environment.

Hydrogen, the lightest gas, is typically obtained through water electrolysis or natural gas reforming. It has widespread applications in the energy, chemical, and metallurgy industries. In petroleum refining, hydrogen is used as a reactant in hydrogenation processes, especially to remove sulfur and nitrogen impurities from petroleum. Hydrogen is also a key raw material in ammonia synthesis, methanol production, and other essential chemical reactions. Additionally, hydrogen plays a significant role in fuel cell technology as a clean energy source.

Carbon dioxide is commonly used in the food, chemical, and environmental sectors. In the food industry, carbon dioxide is used to carbonate beverages and as a preservative gas to extend product shelf life. Carbon dioxide is also widely used in the refrigeration industry, particularly in low-temperature refrigeration and freezing. Moreover, carbon dioxide is used in chemical synthesis reactions and as a fire suppression gas. In recent years, carbon dioxide recovery technology has advanced, becoming an important component in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and environmental protection technologies.

In addition, gases such as methane, ammonia, and carbon monoxide also have critical applications in specific industries. Methane, as the main component of natural gas, is an essential raw material in energy production and chemical industries. Ammonia is primarily used in the production of nitrogen fertilizers, especially in the agriculture and chemical industries. Carbon monoxide is widely used in the metallurgy industry as a reducing gas to extract metals from ores and as an important raw material in chemical synthesis.

On-site gas production technology enables efficient and flexible production of various industrial gases, improving gas production efficiency and quality control while enhancing safety and overall efficiency in industrial production. On-site gas production not only meets the gas demand in industrial production but also provides personalized and customized gas solutions for specific industries.
