Air separation is used across a wide range of industries, including Oil & Gas, Chemical, Paper, Metallurgy, and others. Air separation plants are designed to separate atmospheric gases into their primary components, such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and other inert gases.
The primary products from Air Separation Units (ASUs) are oxygen and nitrogen. Cryogenic valves, including those for oxygen, play a crucial role in the air separation industry, and KOSEN offers comprehensive valve solutions for these critical applications.
Oxygen valves are particularly vital due to the risk of oxygen fires caused by flammable materials in the atmosphere. Valves used in oxygen pipelines must be carefully assembled to avoid contamination by any flammable substances. KOSEN’s oxygen service valves adhere to industry standards such as IGC 13/12, ASTM G63, G93, and other customer-specific requirements related to material selection, design, manufacturing, and cleanliness inspections. These stringent standards ensure that the valves operate safely in oxygen-rich environments, minimizing the risk of contamination.
