Acetylene Plant – 50 m3/hour

Acetylene gas plant is an industrial system which is used for manufacturing acetylene gas for applications in the industries. Our acetylene production systems are known for delivering high quality and efficient performance. We manufacture and fabricate acetylene gas plants employing the latest cutting-edge technology.  For fabricating the best quality acetylene machines, we use the latest technology, high quality designs and world-class manufacturing standards.  Acetylene is a highly combustible gas that is colorless and has got garlic-like odor. We offer acetylene Plant Model – UA- 50 m3/hour which is ideal for meeting the requirements of medium sized businesses.

Our acetylene gas plants are incorporated with the latest features and are fully automated which could be operated by a single operator. We fabricate our plant machinery using high grade stainless steel.  Our acetylene plants are known for being explosion-free, safe and durable. We use only high quality materials in the making of the machinery.  The machinery is thoroughly tested before it is approved for sale to our customers.  Since we are a customer-centric company, we ensure that our customers get the world-class machinery which is made   as per the internationally approved standards.  For our compliance with strict quality measures, we have been ISO 9001:2008 and CE certification. We have emerged as the leading acetylene plant manufacturers in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, UAE, Nigeria, Yemen, Bolivia , Brazil , Bolivia, Peru, etc.

Basic principle

Acetylene is produced as result of chemical reaction between calcium carbide and water. The reaction generates lots of heat, which is controlled to stop acetylene gas from exploding.

Scope of Supply of Acetylene Gas Plants

 Acetylene generator

The latest and fully advanced acetylene generator is stationary carbide to water automatic generator with twin hoppers. Acetylene is generated as a result of the chemical reaction between calcium carbide and water. The machinery is designed and manufactured to generate acetylene at a pressure of 7 psi.

Condenser

The condenser works by cooling and purifying the gas thereby condensing the excessive moisture. Cooled water is circulated on the shell side from bottom to top. The condenser is designed and manufactured to suit all local conditions provided sufficient water flow is maintained.

Low pressure dryer

The solid anhydrous calcium chloride at (at least) 80% purity in this pressure vessel soaks up the moisture in the gas. It becomes fluid and is collected at the bottom and drained.

The LP purifier

In the LP purifier, this vessel gets divided into 2 sections by wire mesh framework each section charged of purifying mass. The chemicals in the purifying mass soak up impurities, including H2S phosgene.

Ammonia Scrubber

The component is a vertical vessel of latest design with a level gauge and water make-up line. A particular level as marked on the level indicator, which has to be maintained for efficient working. All the water soluble impurities for instance ammonia are scrubbed/removed in the Ammonia scrubber.

Acetylene compressor

The acetylene compressor employed in the systems is a multi-stage compressor which is immersed in a water tank to shun any pressurized gas to get in touch with air and also to make sure that all the components are continuously cooled for highest safety. It is driven by a flame proof electric motor.

High Pressure Drier

High Pressure Drier Three Stage filled with special packing and anhydrous chloride to remove impurities from the compressed acetylene gas.

Cylinders filling manifold

Filling Manifold with two headers, non-return valves, flashback arrestor pressure gauges and control valve.

Flame proof level controller

Strict usage of accurate and reliable infrared level controller senses high level and low level in accuracy of millimeters and designed for hazardous atmosphere and has very long life. It meets the criterion of CE standards directive.

Instrument Control Panel

Instrument Control Panel is employed for controlling of high and low level pressure monitoring in generator, high and low pressure cut off in the compressor for high safety due to accuracy of pressure transmitters as specified by CE manual.
