With WestAir cylinder tracking only pay for the cylinders that you are using. Never overpay for storing empty unused cylinders ever again.
Learn more about the different gases commonly used in paper production.
O₂
Delignification of wood pulp, reducing the amount of chemicals needed in the pulping process and improving pulp quality.
Ar
Specialty welding applications for stainless steel and high-alloy equipment used in corrosive process environments.
N₂
Inerting and blanketing storage tanks, pressurizing systems, and preventing oxidation during pulp processing.
CO₂
Producing precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), a key filler and coating pigment used to improve paper brightness and smoothness.

Oxygen (O₂) — The highest-volume and most strategically important gas in modern paper manufacturing. Used across multiple critical stages including pulp delignification, bleaching sequences, recovery boiler enrichment, lime kiln operations, and wastewater treatment aeration. Few gases touch as many points in the production process.
Nitrogen (N₂) — A strong second with an exceptionally broad range of applications. Used for inerting and blanketing storage tanks, pressurizing systems, purging pipelines, preventing combustible dust explosions, and protecting sensitive process areas — making it indispensable for both production and safety.
Yes. We offer real-time monitoring for most of our gas applications to make sure you never run out. Our solution provides you (and us) with accurate updates on your levels so we can optimize your gas delivery, detect leaks and other issues – saving you money while supporting our sustainability commitments.
Yes. We make true same-day deliveries with no qualifications. If you call at 4:55 pm and you need a same-day delivery, we will deliver that day.
We offer cost-effective bulk gas solutions including bulk oxygen, acetylene, and argon for metal fabrication companies. Your products will be safely delivered by our modern fleet of fuel-efficient trucks, equipped for cylinder and bulk gas delivery.
Yes. WestAir barcodes each cylinder and will scan each cylinder when it enters and leaves your location. This eliminates the need for you to perform time-consuming and error-prone inventory tracking. This process also guarantees accurate monthly billing statements.
