SERVICE, REFINED
WestAir proudly supports California’s metal mining industry with high-purity gases and exceptional service. We offer modern mining operations a wide-range of package types for gases like Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon, Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, and Hydrogen – let us help you create the safest environments for greater extraction and refining.
We are proud to offer standard next day delivery, same-day delivery, and available 24/7 monitoring.
From the first walkthrough to delivery and beyond, our team is always ready to serve.
Our gas experts walk through your setup to build systems that prioritize safety and efficiency.
No matter the volume or type of gas, our state-of-the-art labs and highly-skilled production teams deliver.
Our drivers consistently perform in high-pressure environments and champion things such as customer care, road, and onsite safety.
Stop paying rent on cylinders that aren’t in your possession. And enjoy sustainable service with less deliveries thanks to telemetry’s mobile alerts, real-time measurements, and usage trends.
The days of chasing invoices and updating billing info are gone — access your account and re-order with confidence (and ease).
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 metal mining.
Employed for inerting (displacing oxygen) to prevent fires and explosions, pressurizing and purging pipelines and equipment, and in flotation processes for ore separation.
Used in fire suppression systems, for inerting environments to control dust and prevent explosions, and occasionally in ore processing.
Used in smelting and refining processes to oxidize unwanted impurities in ores. It is also used in oxy-fuel cutting and welding for equipment maintenance.
Combined with oxygen in oxy-acetylene torches for cutting, welding, and brazing metals during maintenance and repair of mining equipment.
Commonly used as a shielding gas in welding processes (TIG and MIG welding) to protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination.
Occasionally used in specialized welding and cutting applications for equipment maintenance. It can also be used in hydrometallurgical processes for metal extraction.
Used for heating applications, including heating metals during processing, and for soldering and brazing operations.

The most popular gases used in metal mining are oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygen is used in processes like smelting and refining to enhance combustion and increase efficiency, while hydrogen is utilized in reducing metal ores and preventing oxidation during processing.
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 and hydrogen for metal mining 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.
Yes. Our dedicated account management and 24/7 emergency service is there to make a bad day better.
