Corrosive and contaminated gases: Flare gases, sour gas, and heavier hydrocarbons (C2+)
Gases and vapors: Instrument air (TA air), compressed air, nitrogen, steam, and corrosive vapors
Burners and furnaces: Gas control for efficient combustion
Greenhouse gas management: Carbon dioxide for greenhouse applications
Gas delivery: Flow regulation for various systems
Inert gases: Including nitrogen and other non-reactive gases
Energy gases: Hydrogen, carbon dioxide, natural gas, methane, propane, and other energy gases
Special applications: Low-pressure steam, chlorine gas, ammonia, and hydrogen gas (considering hydrogen embrittlement issues)
Industrial gases are gaseous elements and combination of elements and for use in industrial processes. These gases play a crucial role in numerous sectors, including manufacturing, energy production, chemical processing, food preservation, and healthcare. Industrial gases are typically pure compounds or precise mixtures, packaged in bottles or towers with high purity and tailored to specific uses.
Here's an overview of different types of industrial gases, their uses in various processes, and the products we offer for each.
Energy gases are industrial gases primarily used as fuel sources or in energy production processes. These gases include hydrogen, liquefied natural gas (LNG), compressed natural gas (CNG), and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
Inert gases are industrial gases characterized by their low reactivity with other substances. They are commonly used in applications where chemical reactions need to be minimized. The most common inert gases include argon, helium, and nitrogen.
Cryogenic gases are industrial gases that exist in a liquid state at extremely low temperatures, typically below -150°C (-238°F). Common cryogenic gases include liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, and liquid argon.
Air Separation Units (ASU) are industrial systems used to separate atmospheric air into its primary components: nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. These gases are often referred to as “air gases”.
With an impressive control rangeability of 300:1, the Ramén KS Ball Sector Valve is an excellent choice for gas industry applications requiring precise flow control across a wide spectrum – from very low to very high flow rates. Designed for versatility, the KS valve is ideal for applications such as fuel gas control in industrial burners and engines, gas bypass control for compressors, gas blanketing, and flare gas control. In many cases, a single Ramén KS Ball Sector Valve can replace multiple globe valves while providing the same level of control in a more compact, lightweight design – resulting in significant savings in cost, weight, and space.
Pressure control is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of gas systems. Two key components in maintaining optimal pressure levels are Pressure Reducing Regulators and Back Pressure Regulators. Ramén Valves offers a wide range of regulators from Cashco, known for having some of the most versatile regulators on the market. In this article, we will explore the different types of regulators and their specific functions.
High and low pressure significantly impact the behavior of gases, particularly in systems where precise flow control, safety, and accuracy are critical. Here, we describe high and low-pressure systems, their typical applications, and the valves we offer for each type of system.
In low-pressure systems, gases are less dense and tend to flow more easily, making precise regulation more challenging. These systems often face challenges in preventing backflow and achieving precise regulation, as the reduced pressure can affect valve performance.
We offer Cashco’s Model D pressure reducing regulator for low-pressure applications.
In high-pressure systems, gases are compressed, resulting in increased energy and density. Regulating gases under these conditions require valves and components designed to withstand the significant stresses of high pressure, ensuring system stability, preventing leaks, and avoiding valve failure.
Typical high-pressure applications include hydraulic systems, gas compression, energy storage, and industrial gas distribution. We offer valves specifically engineered to handle high-pressure systems with reliability and durability.
We offer Cashco’s Model SLR-2 pressure reducing regulator for high-pressure applications.
