Oxygen is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. It is a combustion promoter. It can be mixed with combustible gas (acetylene, methane, etc.) in a certain proportion to form explosive mixture. When the oxygen concentration in the air increases to 25%, it can stimulate active combustion reaction; When the oxygen concentration reaches 27%, a spark can develop into a lively flame. Therefore, fireworks are strictly prohibited in the oxygen workshop and around the oxygen generation device. When the clothes are saturated with oxygen, they will burn quickly in case of open fire. Especially the clothes contaminated with grease may spontaneously ignite in the presence of oxygen.

Nitrogen is a colorless, tasteless and odorless inert gas. It is harmless to human body, but when the nitrogen content in the air increases, it reduces the oxygen content, making it difficult to breathe. In order to avoid the increase of nitrogen content in the air in the workshop, nitrogen separated from the air separation plant shall not be discharged indoors. When overhauling nitrogen charging equipment, vessels and pipelines, air shall be used to replace them, and the operation shall be allowed only after the oxygen content is qualified. During maintenance, the nitrogen valve shall be supervised to prevent personal accidents caused by opening the valve by mistake.

DEAR air separation can produce large, medium and small air separation equipment, high-purity oxygen, nitrogen and argon equipment, low purity oxygen, liquid air separation equipment, natural gas purification, natural gas liquefaction (LNG), etc

The working pressure of the high-pressure oxygen compressor used for filling bottles is high, and it is easy to cause cylinder burning accidents due to improper operation and management. In order to prevent this kind of accidents from happening, the following matters should be paid attention to when using and maintaining: 1) for the parts of the oxygen compressor, the maintenance tools and the hands of the maintenance personnel must be strictly skim and cleaned, finally, clean the carbon tetrachluene thoroughly. When pulling out the piston for overhaul, special attention should be paid to clear the oil stain at the bottom of the piston rod in case of stain the seal. When the sealer and scraper are worn out, they should be replaced in time to prevent them from being oiled; 2) the distilled water used for lubrication must not be interrupted. Distilled water tank should be more than 2m higher than cylinder head, and water level gauge and dripping device should be easy to monitor. The a...

Nitrogen is a colourless, odourless, non-toxic and non-flammable gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, which is chemically stable and hardly reacts with other substances. Nitrogen is often used as a protective gas in a wide range of industries. There are several main methods of producing nitrogen. One of these is molecular sieve nitrogen in air (variable pressure adsorption), which is ...
