Preparation Products HIGH INTEGRITY PREP SYSTEM
Efficiently Prep Cylinders for Blending
The High Integrity Prep System is used to prepare the cylinders for processing prior to going to the blend cell for filling. Each systems includes a control panel, linear manifold and vacuum pump system. Our system is engineered and designed to be high integrity, with all welded construction and VCR or VCO connection points. This allows a lower ultimate vacuum to be reached which would result in high purity straight gas or more stable reactive gas mixture.
Features and Benefits
• Our system is engineered and designed to be high integrity, with all welded construction and VCR or VCO connection points. This allows a lower ultimate vacuum to be reached which would result in high purity straight gas or more stable reactive gas mixture. • Efficiently preps cylinders for blending • Provided with flexible metal hoses with VCR welded fittings • Durable, powder-coated frame • Valves are provided for vent, purge, vacuum and static vacuum operation • The entire manifold assembly, including the leads, are 100% hydrostatically pressure tested to 1.5 times the MAWP, 100% nitrogen leak tested, 100% oxygen cleaned, dried, bagged to the highest safety standards. • System is delivered assembled, oxygen cleaned, pressure tested and ready to go. Simply uncrate the unit, position it in place, anchor it to the floor and connected it to the existing plumbing. • Made in the USA
Types Available
Oxidizer/Inert Gases (For low concentrations of O2 below 23.5%)
Inert Gases
Flammable/Inert Gases
Preparation Products AUTOMATED BAKE OUT OVEN
Types Available
Standard automated 12-cylinder unit
Designed specifically for non-flammable gases, available in either 240 Volt or 480 Volt. Other voltage options are available upon special request. A vacuum pump is not included with standard unit but is available, with or without a stand.
Up to Three Purge Gases
This option allows the customer to pipe argon, helium, and nitrogen to the over and use the same purge gas that the cylinder will be put into service.
Efficiently Remove Moisture and Any Trace Contaminants
The Automated Bake Out Oven provides an efficient means to prepping cylinders for industrial, medical and specialty gas mixtures and/or pure gas grades of 99.999% purity levels or better by removing moisture and any trace contaminants from cylinders being put into service. The system uses a cycle of heat, vacuum and purge gas to remove the contaminants.
PLC Controlled with Safety in Mind
A custom PLC monitors the vacuum pressure, cylinder wall temperature, oven temperature, and purge pressure. The unit also provides multiple safety parameters and alarms for situations such as if the vacuum is taking too long, overheating, no purge gas is available, etc. If a vacuum pump is also ordered, a custom vacuum pump motor starter and thermal over load are included to simplify connecting the vacuum pump of your choice.
Features and Benefits
• Can have purge pressures up to 200 PSI, drastically improving the efficiency and reducing the time required in the cylinder preparation process • Convenient double door design provides quick and easy access for l oading and unloading cylinders with no ramps to roll cylinders up or down on • Designed with a 1” stainless steel pipe header, all welded, eliminating the potential for leak points • Provided with an operator touchscreen interface with PLC for full automatic control of the enitre bake out process • Durable, powder-coated frame • Automatic valves are provided for vacuum pump isolation, purge gas and vent operations • Provided with Weldcoa made flexbile post-sintered Teflon lined leads • The entire manifold assembly, including the leads, are 100% hydrostatically pressure tested to 1.5 times the MAWP, 100% nitrogen leak tested, 100% oxygen cleaned, dried, bagged to the highest safety standards • System is delivered assembled, oxygen cleaned, pressure tested and ready to go.

HIGH INTEGRITY BAKE OUT OVEN
Types Available
Standard automated 12-cylinder unit
Designed specifically for non-flammable gases, available in either 240 Volt or 480 Volt. Other voltage options are available upon special request. A vacuum pump and stand is provided with the vacuum piping for all standard High Integrity Bake Out Oven models.
Up to Three Purge Gases
This option allows the customer to pipe argon, helium, and nitrogen to the over and use the same purge gas that the cylinder will be put into service.
Automatically Vacuum Cylinders Under Intense Heat
The High Integrity Bake Out Oven represents the highest level of automated process for the vacuuming of cylinders under intense heat. The automation walks you through the step by step process of choosing how long to vacuum, at which level of vacuum and at what temperature. A variety of gases can be programmed to purge the cylinders at different intervals, of your choosing. The result is a higher level of achieved purity, within the cylinders, with the least amount of labor and within the most efficient amount of required time.
Features and Benefits
• Two PLC controlled modes of operation with the standard unit.:
Automatic Operation in which the oven automatically proceeds to the next step of operation without operator input once a pre-determined operating parameter has been achieved.
Manual Operation in which the operation is still controlled by the touchscreen, however the system will only perform a function specified by the operatior and will not proceed to a next step without input. This mode is particularly useful to Pre-Bake cylinders. • Convenient double door design provides quick and easy access for loading and unloading cylinders with no ramps to roll cylinders up or down on • The cylinder manifold is manufactured at Weldcoa out of all welded 2” stainless tube header and is available with flexible metal stainless steel pigtail leads for cylinder connections using high integrity face seal fittings. • Provided with an operator touchscreen interface with PLC for full automatic control of the entire bake out process • Durable, powder-coated frame • Automatic valves are provided for vacuum pump isolation, purge gas and vent operations • Transducers monitor the vacuum, cylinder wall temperature and purge pressure • The unit will also sound alarms if the vacuum is taking too long, overheating or has no purge gas available • We also offer the option of providing up to three purge gases. This allows the customer to pipe argon, helium, and nitrogen to the oven and use the same purge gas that the cylinder will be put into service. • The entire manifold assembly, including the leads, are 100% hydrostatically pressure tested to 1.5 times the MAWP, 100% nitrogen leak tested, 100% oxygen cleaned, dried, bagged to the highest safety standards • System is delivered assembled, oxygen cleaned, pressure tested and ready to go.
