Nikkiso Cosmodyne commissions TGNO-1000 gaseous oxygen and nitrogen plant

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 15 -- Nikkiso Cryogenic Industries’ Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group (Group), a subsidiary of Nikkiso Co Ltd (Japan), has announced Nikkiso Cosmodyne recently commissioned its TGNO-1000 gaseous oxygen and nitrogen plant.

The new plant targets float glass manufacturing and was sold to an industrial gases company, according to a statement.

The Nikkiso Cosmodyne TGNO is a cryogenic oxygen and nitrogen generator designed to produce three gaseous product streams: medium and high-pressure nitrogen gas and oxygen gas.

The high-pressure nitrogen comes directly off the nitrogen column at approximately 8.5 bar(g), while the medium pressure nitrogen stream comes from the oxygen column overhead and is boosted by a waste stream expander to approximately 2.3 bar(g).

The gaseous oxygen comes directly off the oxygen column which runs at an elevated pressure of 2.3 bar(g).

The TGNO-1000 was configured with mostly preexisting components to meet the developmental needs of this multi-product plant. This allowed them to meet the stringent goals of their industrial gas customer, who is selling the molecules to the float glass customer.

The prefabricated TGNO is delivered in pre-piped, pre-wired, easy-to-install modular sections. The chiller, adsorber beds, switching valves and turboexpander are mounted in a single skid, minimising field work. The control room module houses the motor control centre and required analysers.

Nikkiso Cosmodyne has extensive experience with liquid merchant plants as well as on-site gas plants like the TGNO-1000.
