NIKKISO CRYOGENIC SERVICES RECOMMISSIONS AIR SEPARATION PLANT IN INDIA

KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 (Bernama) -- Nikkiso Cryogenic Industries’ Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group (Group), a subsidiary of Nikkiso Co Ltd (Japan), has announced completion of the recommissioning of an Air Separation plant in Patancheru, Hyderabad, India.

This project was done in coordination with the Telangana government (TEL), and Greenko Foundation (GKO), according to a statement.

“We are proud to have played a role in this fight against COVID, and of the technology and teamwork it took to get this facility up and running in such short time,” said President, Nikkiso Cryogenic Services, Jim Estes.

Due to the ongoing pandemic crisis in India, the Indian government initiated a directive to restart the operation and LOX production to meet the urgent demands for medical oxygen.

GKO has taken the old shut-down Oxygen plant on rental basis from Air Water India Private Limited (AWI) for a period of two years.

In May this year, the Group partnered along with GKO in recommissioning of the plant.

Nikkiso Cryogenic Services provided critical technical support and spare parts, including nozzle actuators and vibration components, and Nikkiso Cosmodyne India Pvt Ltd provided field service support.

Critical components which typically take 12-14 weeks were provided in three days to support this urgent request. By June 22, the site was fully operational again.

Cryogenic Industries Inc (now a member of Nikkiso Co Ltd) member companies manufacture engineered cryogenic gas processing equipment and small-scale process plants for the liquefied natural gas (LNG), well services and industrial gas industries.
