Industrial Gases & Cryogenic

Industrial Gases & Cryogenics

Processing of industrial gases plays a pivotal role in a wide range of industries, from manufacturing and healthcare to food and electronics where precise control of gas flow, pressure, and other parameters is essential for efficient and safe operations. These gases are vital for various processes, and their production, purification, and distribution require specialized techniques and technologies. Control valves are critical components in industrial gas processing and cryogenic applications, allowing for the adjustment and regulation of gas flow rates and other parameters.

Cryogenic applications typically involve the handling of gases, such as liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen, or liquefied natural gas (LNG), and these valves play a vital role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of various processes. It’s important to note that control valves used in cryogenic applications are specially designed to withstand the extreme cold and maintain their performance and reliability at low temperatures. Materials and sealing mechanisms are carefully selected to prevent freezing and maintain tight shut-off characteristics. These valves are critical for achieving safe and efficient cryogenic processes in industries such as energy, healthcare, aerospace, and scientific research.

Industrial gases, including oxygen, argon, and nitrogen, are obtained through the separation or chemical synthesis of air. Air separation facilities employ cryogenic processes that operate at extremely low temperatures, reaching as low as -196°C / -384°F. These plants are significant investments, and their design and maintenance prioritize operational efficiency, peak performance, product quality, and safety. For these applications accurate sizing and selection, precise control, reliable shut-off, repeatability, and material selection are priority to ensure the achievement of these key plant objectives.
