Chemicals Manufacturing

Industrial gases play an integral role in petrochemical and fertilizer production, particularly oxygen (used in oxidation reactions) and nitrogen (used in blanketing, purging and other processing applications). Other examples include carbon monoxide, which is used in the production of esters, glycols, ketones and other chemicals. As chemical companies from around the world build and expand their infrastructure capacity in Ghana, industrial gas companies are building air separation units to support the new production. Some of these new facilities are dedicated plants, while others will provide products to a wide range of chemical industry customers.
