Liquid Oxygen
Liquid oxygen is the liquefied form of oxygen gas having boiling point -183 degree centigrade. It is a light bluish color liquid can be seen in vacuum insulated flask
The advantage of LOX is that it is easy to carry in VITT( vacuum Insulated transport tank) and transfer in VIST. We can Transport LOX in Bulk from Mother Storage tanks to feeder tanks
Uses
In commerce, liquid oxygen is classified as an industrial gas and is widely used for industrial and medical purposes. Liquid oxygen is obtained from the oxygen found naturally in air by fractional distillation in a cryogenic air separation plant.
