The oxygen has many uses but one of the most interesting is to run industrial furnaces
in oxyfuel mode (particularly flameless), which results in fuel savings and a better end product.

One, as at the Schwarze Pumpe, involves the
oxyfuel process: burning coal
in pure oxygen to produce a stream of CO2 - rich emissions.
Vattenfall, a Swedish firm, is backing a technology called
oxyfuel combustion, which burns coal
in a nitrogen - free atmosphere.
Technologies, like amine scrubbers and chilled ammonia or
oxyfuel, continue to be improved
in the lab and at demonstration projects.
But a growing body of opinion now challenges these claims, and
in the absence of definitive research — or indeed, much research at all — the jury is still out on
oxyfuels.
Within four years, the use of
oxyfuels during winter had become compulsory
in 35 cities across the US, even though they lifted petrol prices by as much as 15 cents a gallon.
To heat that boiler, the damp, crumbly brown coal known as lignite — which is even more polluting than the harder black anthracite variety — burns
in the presence of pure oxygen, a process known as
oxyfuel, releasing as waste both water vapor and that more notorious greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2).
One, as at Schwarze Pumpe, involves the
oxyfuel process: burning coal
in pure oxygen to produce a stream of CO2 - rich emissions.
In Finland, VTT's Flexi Burn CFB project has developed and successfully demonstrated an
oxyfuel combustion concept based on circulating fluidized bed combustion.
In my previous comment on oxyfuel for industry I didn't mention that it also allows carbon monoxide to burn faster and so be used not just in low temperature boilers but in high temperature furnaces and gas engines as wel

Once off the permafrost areas, I wish they would burn the natural gas using
oxyfuel combustion, for example,
in high efficiency combined cycle power plants.
