Steam generation FAQs

Learn more about the steam generation industry gases and services we offer.

What are the most popular gases used in the steam generation industry?

Nitrogen (N₂) — The highest-volume delivered gas across virtually all steam generation facilities. Used throughout the entire facility lifecycle including blanketing feedwater storage tanks and deaerator systems to prevent corrosion, purging and inerting boiler fireboxes and steam drums during startup and shutdown, protecting turbine casings during maintenance, pressure testing boiler systems and steam piping after repairs, and inerting confined spaces before hot work. No other delivered gas touches as many points in steam generation operations.

Oxygen (O₂) — A strong second with critically important applications across both production efficiency and environmental compliance. Used for combustion enrichment in boilers and burners to improve thermal efficiency and increase steam output, flue gas oxygen monitoring and trim control to minimize emissions, dissolved oxygen monitoring in feedwater systems to prevent boiler tube corrosion, and aerating wastewater treatment systems. The dual role of oxygen in both improving efficiency and controlling emissions makes it uniquely valuable across multiple dimensions of steam generation operations.

Can I track my gas levels?

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.

Do you offer same-day delivery for gases used in the steam generation industry?

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.

Is it possible to order my steam generation industry gases in bulk?

We offer cost-effective bulk gas solutions including bulk hydrogen and natural gas for the power generation industry. Your products will be safely delivered by our modern fleet of fuel-efficient trucks, equipped for cylinder and bulk gas delivery.

Can I track my gas cylinders balance?

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.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency service if I run out of nitrogen or oxygen?

Yes. Our dedicated account management and 24/7 emergency service is there to make a bad day better.
