Air Gas Electronic Materials Enterprise Co., Ltd.

Do you know what makes the fuel for your car or the paper you write on? It’s made from something called petroleum and wood pulp. Refining and pulp-making are critical processes that give rise to these materials. But another gas called SO2 can make these processes even better — did you know that? More on what is SO2 gas and how it is used.

SO2 gas is a colour less gas formed by burning of sulfur. This gas has numerous unexpected advantages that have been found in the pulp-making and refining sectors, and that is something we may not think about all that often. These advantages can render our everyday products more efficient and eco-friendly.

How SO2 Gas Helps Make Paper? 

Pulp-making is one of industries that consumed the highest amounts of SO2 gas. This industry is involved in converting wood into paper, which is used by everyone in school and at home. Historically the industry produced paper using a production process known as “kraft.” It was an energy-intensive process involving multiple chemicals. The environmental choice — a poor one. But now, thanks to the sulfur dioxide gas (SO2), this paper-making process is easier and far less harmful to the environment.

In fact, the industry has a method called “sulfite” which it uses today to make paper. The wood pulp is cooked with the addition of SO2 gas during this process. This technique is called “sulfite cooking. The sulfur hexafluoride is also significant because it helps decompose the wood fibers. As a result of this, the wood can be processed into high-quality paper that is smooth and resilient.

A Major Shift for Refining and Pulp-producing

SO2 gas is used in refining and pulp-making (dissolving cellulose pulp); this has changed the operation of these industries. It makes processes cleaner and more efficient. That is good news, as it helps to reduce environmental pollution as well. Products made using SO2 gas require lower energy and fewer toxic chemicals.

This is great news for companies since they not only save money but are also more environmentally friendly. Everyone wins in this equation. SO2 gas allows businesses to produce high-quality at a range of costs, all while nurturing the environment.

Effects on Fuels and Paper Production

SO2 gas impacts the refining and pulp-making industry significantly. It has also made the process cleaner and more efficient. This change has literally saved companies bushels of money and had a major environmental impact.

The use of speciality gasses has enhanced the quality of the products being manufactured as well. Take the pulp-making industry for instance it has enabled us to produce high quality paper which we can use for writing, printing and so many other stuff. In the refining business, it has also driven the development of cleaner fuels that not only are good for the cars we drive but the environment we all live in.

The Key to Improving Refining and Pulp-making

SO2 gas is the magic ingredient which makes the process of pulp and paper making so much better. It assists in high-quality products and is environmental friendly. It has revolutionized these industries by the use of SO2 gas. It has allowed them to be more streamlined and more sustainable. 

AGEM is one such company that also understands how important it is to be efficient and leave a clean world for future generations to come. Well, they are quite proud of the SO2 gas industry. AGEM believes this gas will help drive a revolution in refineries and pulp mills. SO2 gas brings us hope for a future where we make products that are kind to ourselves and to our Earth.
