Manufacture of industrial gases
NACE v2.0 Code: C20.11
About manufacture of industrial gases
NACE code 20.11 covers the manufacture of industrial gases, a critical industry that supports a wide range of economic activities. Industrial gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide, are essential inputs for various industries, including chemicals, metals, healthcare, and energy. This industry plays a vital role in enabling the production of numerous goods and services that are fundamental to modern society.
Production process
The manufacture of industrial gases typically involves the separation of air into its component gases through processes like cryogenic distillation, pressure swing adsorption, or membrane separation. These techniques allow for the efficient extraction and purification of specific gases, which are then stored and distributed to customers in various forms, such as compressed gas cylinders or liquid tanks.
Production inputs
The production of industrial gases requires a range of inputs, including air, electricity, and specialized equipment such as compressors, heat exchangers, and storage tanks. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled technicians and engineers to operate and maintain the complex production facilities.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the industrial gases industry are the various gases themselves, including oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, helium, argon, and carbon dioxide. These gases are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 20.11 Manufacture of industrial gases, 20.13 Manufacture of other inorganic basic chemicals, 24.10 Manufacture of basic iron and steel, and 86.10 Hospital activities.
