Services for the creation of specific gas mixtures

The highly qualified and accredited laboratory of our plant will create any mixture according to your order. Given the large number of types of sold gases and their grades, the mixtures will suit your needs. The quality of the mixtures will always be as you wish.

Packaging gas mixtures are intended for creating a Modified Gas Atmosphere (MGA) inside food packaging. The main purpose of MGA is to extend the shelf life of fresh and prepared food products through a natural method, as an alternative to using preservatives and food dyes. Packaged products maintain their true flavor qualities and achieve an appealing packaging appearance.

Cryocylinder

it is a vessel made of stainless steel that is filled with liquid oxygen, nitrogen, or argon. This autonomous unit is protected by screen-vacuum insulation and equipped with shut-off and regulating fittings. With the help of built-in equipment, liquid oxygen turns into a gaseous state.

They are divided by gas generation productivity and liquid storage volume.

Technical Inspection

Cylinders in service are subject to a technical inspection. The following intervals for periodic cylinder inspections are established by the regulations:

• Cylinders filled with non-corrosive gases (oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.) are checked at least every 5 years;
• Cylinders containing corrosive gases (chlorine, phosgene, hydrogen sulfide, etc.), as well as those installed on vehicles as expendable containers for liquefied and compressed gases, are checked at least every 2 years.

Cylinders that have not passed the technical inspection are deemed defective and rendered unusable by drilling holes in the body.

New data is applied to cylinders that have undergone inspection, while old data is removed.

Storage of Cylinders

According to the regulations, cylinders are allowed to be stored in premises and open areas protected from precipitation and sunlight. Warehouses are divided into compartments. In each isolated compartment, no more than 500 cylinders containing flammable gases or 1000 cylinders containing non-flammable gases are allowed to be placed. Cylinders are arranged in a way that ensures free access to them. Cylinders containing flammable gases (hydrogen, acetylene, propane, etc.) must be stored separately from cylinders containing oxygen, compressed air, chlorine, and other oxidizers.

Requirements for the Storage Facility

Premises used for storing cylinders with gases must be equipped with devices that indicate the presence of a dangerous gas concentration. In the absence of such devices, air analysis for gas content must be conducted in the facility at least once per shift. The floor covering and ramps must be non-sparking and made of inorganic materials. The operation of enclosed warehouses without ventilation systems is prohibited.

Instructions, rules, and posters regarding cylinder handling regulations must be displayed in the warehouses. However, other substances, materials, and objects are not allowed to be stored in such premises.

Handling and Transportation

During storage, impacts between cylinders or dropping them on the floor must be avoided. When manually rolling cylinders, it is prohibited to grasp the valves or touch the valves of oxygen cylinders and cylinders with compressed air with bare hands, gloves, or wiping materials contaminated with grease and oil.

Transportation of filled cylinders is allowed on vehicles, cranes, and other resilient transport means. When transporting cylinders, spacers must be installed between them, such as wooden blocks with recesses for cylinders or rubber rings or pads with a thickness of at least 25 mm (two rings per cylinder). Cylinders must be oriented with valves on one side perpendicular to the direction of movement.

Transporting cylinders to the workplace is only permitted using specialized carts or carriers.

Attention! It is prohibited to use cylinders that have expired the periodic inspection period, lack the required markings, have faulty valves, damaged bodies, or have incorrect coloring and markings that do not meet the requirements.

Gas cylinder

A gas cylinder is a closed metal container with a volume ranging from 1 to 50 liters, used for storing and transporting specific types of gases, such as compressed gases (air, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, etc.), liquefied gases (ammonia, butane, propane, chlorine, etc.), and dissolved gases (acetylene).

During the summer, it is especially important to ensure that the cylinder does not overheat. When a liquefied gas is heated, it expands, leading to a significant increase in pressure inside the cylinder. This can result in cylinder rupture, gas leakage, and the formation of explosive gas-air mixtures. The cylinder is also susceptible to damage from impacts and falls.

The main causes of gas cylinder explosions include cylinder overheating, malfunctioning safety devices, vessel damage during improper transportation or handling, filling cylinders with gases they are not intended for, and contamination of valves with lubricants and other substances.

The rules for the design and safe operation of pressure vessels include specific requirements for the construction, certification, and use of gas cylinders.

The connection of high-pressure gas cylinders in the form of gas monoblocks, also known as bundles, is an engineering solution characterized by high functionality and optimal resource utilization. This technological concept has significant potential for enhancing various processes related to the storage, transportation, and utilization of industrial gases. Let’s explore this concept in a more technical context, considering additional details:

Bundle construction
Gas bundles consist of gas cylinders placed and secured within a metal frame, connected by a manifold and high-pressure stainless steel hoses. This construction provides structural stability and system compactness. Each monoblock can have one or two valves at the outlet for regulating gas flow. Additionally, a measuring device is included. The design includes a Euro pallet and securing brackets for easy transportation using a crane or forklift.

Gas volume and bundle functions
The primary function of gas monoblocks is to facilitate convenient storage, transportation, and distribution of technical gases. The gas volume in a bundle typically ranges from 480 to 600 liters. This makes them ideal for supplying medium gas consumption volumes required in various configurations of industrial processes.

Advantages for Technological Processes
One of the key advantages of using bundles in high-tech processes is the minimization of downtime for cylinder replacement. This prevents process interruptions, ensures high efficiency, and uniform results. This is particularly relevant in manufacturing conditions where speed and precision play a crucial role.

Bundles are suitable for gases such as argon, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and oxygen. They are also used for gas mixtures used in laser and plasma processes (argon-helium, nitrogen-hydrogen, oxygen-nitrogen, and others), as well as for protective welding mixtures and food-grade packaging mixtures.
