Industrial CO for chemical and metal industry — process carbon monoxide for synthesis and metallurgy
Industrial CO for chemical and metal industry has to be dependable: a feed that changes in purity can upset a catalyst bed, and an unstable reducing atmosphere can spoil a heat-treated batch. REAL GAZ supplies carbon monoxide with defined purity and impurity limits for such processes.
Supply is organised in robust 40 and 50 litre cylinders or in cylinder bundles that reduce change-over frequency.
Supply is organised in robust 40 and 50 litre cylinders or in cylinder bundles that reduce change-over frequency.
Products are specified with reference to ISO 14912, packaged in ISO 9809 cylinders and shipped under ADR as toxic and flammable gas.
In chemical service the critical contaminants are usually sulphur compounds, iron carbonyl, oxygen and moisture, because they poison catalysts or corrode lines. In metal service the concern is the ratio of CO to CO₂ and hydrogen, which sets the carbon potential. We can supply plain CO for blending on site or pre-mixed atmospheres, and we advise on stainless or carbon-steel piping and suitable regulators.
Consumption in these sectors is often measured in tens of cylinders per week, so planning matters. We suggest keeping at least one full spare cylinder or bundle on site, using automatic change-over regulators with an alarm for the low-pressure side, and recording the pressure at every shift. Waste is reduced when empties are purged and returned promptly rather than left connected. We can also review your existing gas line drawings and suggest improvements.
🏭 Where Industrial CO Is Used in Chemistry and Metals
- ⚙️ Acetic acid and phosgene routes — carbon monoxide is a core reactant, so feed quality affects yield and catalyst life;
- 🔬 Hydroformylation — oxo processes combine CO with hydrogen and olefins to produce aldehydes and alcohols;
- 🏥 Direct reduction and sintering — CO acts as a reducing agent in furnaces handling ores and metal powders;
- 🚀 Heat treatment — controlled atmospheres for carburising and annealing use CO in precise proportions.
💡 Why Choose REAL GAZ
- ✅ Stated impurity limits — oxygen, moisture and sulphur are specified for each grade you order;
- 🧪 Process-scale packaging — cylinders and bundles sized to your consumption rate, not just standard packs;
- 🎯 Atmosphere blends — CO with nitrogen or hydrogen prepared for controlled-atmosphere furnaces;
- 🔒 Engineering advice — guidance on gas supply lines, pressure reduction and CO monitoring around furnaces;
- 📄 Certificate of Analysis (CoA) — supplied with every order.
🔬 Quality Control & Safety
- multi-stage purification and filtration;
- moisture and oxygen analysis on each lot;
- precision blending for atmosphere mixtures;
- leak testing and pressure integrity checks.
Furnace areas using carbon monoxide should have fixed CO detection, interlocks and purge procedures before any start-up.
Cylinders comply with ADR / UN transport rules and relevant EN/ISO standards.
