Gas Handling Projects

We are the leading fabricators of special projects for gas handling. These projects are designed, engineered and fabricated as per the existing fabrication drawings and operated under the extreme conditions of pressure and temperature. The challenging process of manufacturing involves welding, machining and drilling. These plants are indigenously designed using advanced technologies to provide effective solutions.

Cryoquip's continued involvement in a range of technologies and new applications is exemplified by a recent U.S. government contract which called for the design, manufacture and installation of multiple pebble bed heater systems operating under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure.

The thermal and mechanical design problems, with operation of the pebble bed heater over a -320°F to + 1850°F temperature range at 3,000 psig, with sudden exposure to a high flow of liquid nitrogen, are enormous. Cryoquip technology provided effective solutions for  gas handling projects.

All of Cryoquip's extensive capabilities in welding, machining, drilling and other manufacturing skills have been brought to bear in the challenging manufacturing process. Each pebble bed heater weighs approximately 75 tons, and heats 1,500,000 SCFH of LN2 to 1850°F.

The control valve element of a hydrogen pressure swing absorption plant fabricated by Cryoquip for Shell Oil, to be used at an overseas oil refinery. The skids, fabricated in one piece, each weigh approximately 65 tons and measure 80 feet long, 17 feet wide, and 13 feet high. They comprise five identical valve stations designed to control the flow of hydrocarbon products. The skid forms a small part of a larger oil refining process to produce gasoline and oils. Cryoquip is one of only a handful of skilled fabrication companies capable of designing and fabricating such complex valve skids within the confines of tight delivery schedules. Cryoquip was selected for this contract because of its record for high quality fabrication of gas skids within budget and on time.

Designing and fabricating industrial gas handling skids is one of the most challenging elements of the manufacturing process. Typical gases we deal with include nitrogen, oxygen, argon and hydrogen. Fully automatic PSA systems are manufactured either from customer prints or engineered and manufactured from customer P&ID's. Units can be manufactured in all common engineering materials, carbon steel, stainless steel or Aluminum.

We offer well drilling services to extract more oil and gas from the existing wells. This require some enhancement and stimulation of the well to increase the flow of hydrocarbons. This enhancement thus prevent the need to drill another well. To carry out this stimulation, we need the ultra high pressure nitrogen converter. It had to be portable, compact and light weight enough to be fit in restricted space for the well enhancement process.
