With state of the art designs and technology from Europe, established manufacturing facilities spread out in various locations all over India & Asia and sales located in National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi, the Italy based company is dedicated to supplying the latest in Cryogenic Technology constantly striving to improve its products through continuous research and development.

Universal Industrial Plants is a reputed manufacturer / exporter and supplier of Pure Nitrogen Plants (Low Pressure), Pure Nitrogen Gas Plants, Pure Oxygen Nitrogen Gas Plants and has a wide range from 50 cum/hr - 5600 cum/hr.

Process Description :   

1. Air Compressor-Low Pressure
Air is compressed at a very pressure of 5-7 bar (kg/cm2). Air can be compressed at such low pressure by trouble free rotary compressor (Screw / Centrifugal Type advanced technology is employed in lieu of old bulky piston compressor)

2. Pure Cooling System
The second stage of the process uses a low pressure refrigerant for pure-cooling the processed air to temperature around 12 deg C before it enters the purifier.

3. Purification of Air by Purifier
The air enters a purifier consisting of twin Molecular Sieve driers, working alternatively. The Molecular Sieves remove the Carbon dioxide & moisture from the processed air before the air enters Air Separation Unit.

4. Cryogenic Cooling of Air by Turbo (Expander)
The air has to be cooled to sub zero temperatures for liquification & the cryogenic refrigeration & the cooling is provided by highly efficient turbo expander, which cools the air to temperature almost below -165 to-170 deg C

5. Separation of Liquid Air Into Oxygen and Nitrogen by Air Separation Column
Oil free, moisture free and Carbon Dioxide free air enters into low pressure fine type heat exchanger where the air is cooled below sub zero temperatures by air expansion process in the turbo expander.
Air gets liquified when it enters the air separation column & gets separated into oxygen & nitrogen by the process of rectification.
Nitrogen gas is available at the outlet at purity of 99.99% upto 3ppm (lppm in some models)
Liquid nitrogen is also available along with the pure nitrogen gas products.

Salient features of Pure Nitrogen Plants (Low Pressure) :

• We provide qualified engineers for Supervision, Installation and start up of all our plants as well as training of manpower at customers’ site.
• Very low power consumption with proven performance and virtually Zero maintenance required for the machines.
• 100% reliability for oxygen gas quality for industrial & hospital use.

Main Equipments of Pure Nitrogen Plants (Low Pressure) :

(I) Air compressor: Screw / low pressure- type:
We employ the most advanced compressor series available in the market. They have a unique combination, meeting customer requirements for low installation, operating and maintenance costs with high dependability and ease of use.

Screw type rotary compressors are one of the most advanced and trouble free.

Centrifugal Type Compressor: No other turbo type oil free compressor can match its efficiency and economy. This ensures a consistent and highly reliable source of air supply. Maintenance is extremely low.Oil free piston compressor are also very succesful due to V-Type configuration on very low working pressor.

(II) Pre – Cooling system:
The pre-cooling system is a highly efficient skid mounted equipment provided with the main purpose of cooling down the air to a temperature of 5 to 8 degrees Celsius and thus to discharge the condensed water. We are using highly reliable compressors of European origin.

(III) Universal Boschi Purifier:
The purifying system is the secondary process unit which is responsible for the removal of moisture, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons as well as rare gases that are considered to be impurities in the process cycle of air separation. The structure essentially consists of double layered molecular sieves from “Zeochem” (Switzerland) along with alumina which acts as an adsorbent.

The process purifier is vital to the entire process and is greatly responsible for the purity of the final product i.e. Oxygen and Nitrogen in the Air separation Column. It consists of 2 skid mounted molecular sieve regeneration batteries that work on shifts and switch alternatively either manually or through a PLC control (optional).

(IV) Air separation Unit:
The Key to the entire Air separation Process lies within the Air Separation Unit (A.S.U). Here, the mixture of Oxygen and Nitrogen is separated by virtue of the difference in their liquefication temperatures.Liquefied air is sent to the lower and upper column using a double rectification process at temperatures below (– )180 deg centigrade.

The design and efficiency of the A.S.U determines the quality of the final product i.e. Oxygen and Nitrogen in terms of quantity and quality. The Boschi design A.S.U features highly efficient fin type aluminium heat exchangers and column, wherein the entire upper column is a packed column thus reducing the operational pressure and increasing the Oxygen, Nitrogen and Argon recovery.

(V) Turbo expander:
The Turbo expander is a gas or oil bearing expansion refrigeration turbine that is much more efficient than any other expansion device.

It works on the technique of induced cooling via expansion due to which the operational pressure of the plant is further reduced and the performance of the distillation column is stabilized for constant production and high purity.

Universal turbo expanders test bed for 100% reliability and tested at 150,000 rpm at minus 190 degree centigrade for troublefree service for years.
