On-Site Gas Production - Universal Industrial Gases (original) (raw)

UIG delivers on-site gas production solutions for industries requiring a constant supply of oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. Our customized systems eliminate transportation costs and provide a dependable, uninterrupted gas supply.

Your Gas. On-Demand.

On-site gas production delivers a dependable supply of essential gases right where you need them. This process improves workflows, lowers costs, and ensures uninterrupted operations without reliance on external deliveries.

**Air Intake & Compression

Air is taken in and compressed to high pressures, preparing it for separation.

**Cooling & Liquefaction

The compressed air is then cooled and liquefied, allowing for the separation of gases.

**Separation

In the distillation columns, nitrogen, oxygen, and argon are separated based on their boiling points.

**Gas Storage & Distribution

The separated gases are stored as liquids or gases and distributed through pipelines or transported as needed.

**What is on-site gas production?

On-site gas production is the process of generating industrial gases like oxygen, nitrogen, and argon directly at a facility, eliminating the need for bulk deliveries.

**How will on-site gas production benefit my business?

On-site production offers several benefits, including cost savings, reliability, and efficiency. It eliminates the need for transportation and third-party suppliers, ensuring a consistent supply of gases and reducing overall operational costs.

**What size operation is suited for on-site gas production?

On-site gas production is most economical for operations consuming 100-200 tons per day or more of gases. It’s ideal for industries with high-volume gas needs, such as manufacturing, chemical processing, and steel production.

**How does the on-site gas production process work?

The process begins with air intake and compression. The air is then cooled and liquefied, allowing gases to be separated in distillation columns. The gases are stored either as liquids or gases and distributed via pipelines or transported to the required locations.

**What industries typically use on-site gas production?

On-site gas production is commonly used in industries that require large quantities of industrial gases, including steel and metal manufacturing, chemical production, food and beverage processing, oil and gas refining, and healthcare. These industries benefit most from the cost-effectiveness and reliability of on-site systems.

**How does on-site gas production compare to bulk gas delivery in terms of reliability?

On-site gas production eliminates the risks of supply chain disruptions, transportation delays, and fluctuating market prices associated with bulk gas deliveries. With an on-site system, your operation has a dedicated, uninterrupted gas supply tailored to its specific needs.

**How much space is required for an on-site gas production plant?

The space required depends on the specific needs of your operation and the volume of gases you require. Our team assesses your facility and customizes the plant layout to ensure optimal use of available space.

**Can on-site gas production be scaled up if needed?

Absolutely. On-site gas production can be easily scaled to meet growing demands. Whether your requirements increase gradually or suddenly, we can adjust the plant size to accommodate higher production volumes.

**What are the maintenance requirements for on-site gas production systems?

Regular maintenance is required to ensure efficient operation. Our team offers ongoing support with routine inspections, system upgrades, and troubleshooting to keep your plant running smoothly. Maintenance schedules are customized based on your plant’s needs.
