World class expertise for reliable and flexible gas supply
Energas has world class expertise and flexibility in gas supply needed by industrial customers. Our supply chain is backed by standardised technologies, qualification processes and information systems that ensure reliability and safety while optimising logistics.
Energas can offer you the most appropriate mode of supply for any volume for your Argon, Nitrogen and Oxygen requirements, meeting your needs in terms of supply reliability, simplicity, quality and costs.
Carbon Dioxide is also available in cylinders and bundles through to bulk tanks.
Hydrogen and Helium are also available in cylinders and bundles , bulk tanks and tube trailers.
Gas Cylinders come in many different shapes & sizes
Typical Cylinder Sizes
10L: Mini
20L: Midi
33L: Compact
50L: Standard/Large
Acetylene can be found in small, midi and large cylinders.
Cylinder sizes can be confusing due to many references, which change by gas type.
Cylinders also come in a range of pressures which can change the volume a cylinder can hold. Its increases volume by further compression.
Quick links to gases: Argon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Helium, Hydrogen, Propane, Butane.
Volumes & Pressure
Gas cylinders come in different pressures - higher pressure filling increases the cylinder volume capacity - examples below.
| Cylinder Size | Fill Pressure (barg @ 15C) | Contents (m3 at 15C, 1 bar) | Cylinder Height (mm) | Cylinder Diameter (mm) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Argon 4.8 L10 200B | 10L | 200 | 2.1 | 640/950 | 178/140 |
| Argon HP L20 230B | 20L | 230 | 4.92 | 950 | 190 |
| ARCAL™ Prime L33 300B ALTOP | 33L | 300 | 10.1 | 1250 | 230 |
| Argon 4.8 L50 200B | 50L | 200 | 10.7 | 1570 - 1700 | 230 |
| Argon HP L50 230B | 50L | 230 | 12.29 | 1620 | 230 |
| ARCAL™ Prime L50 300B (Qlixbi) | 50L | 300 | 15.8 | 1570 - 1700 | 230 |
Typical Pack / Bank Sizes:
A Pack is several Cylinders packaged together, in a metal frame, with a single outlet. Usually 50L Cylinders and 300 bar (with the exception of Oxygen)
- 6 Pack (6 x 50L)
- 12 Pack (12 x 50L)
- 16 Pack (16 x 50L)
Mini Bulk
Skid Tanks are available in low to high pressures and offer a range of benefits available to you:
- Compact and neat footprint (4m2) reducing space requirements compared to cylinder bundle storage
- Reduces risk and time as no personnel handling or changeover requirements compared to bundles - eliminating staff downtime from key production tasks
- Seamless product availability via our telemetry monitoring
- Quick and easy installation - plug and play in less than a day
- Minimal upfront costs to install the new skid mounted tank
- No concrete plinth requirements reducing capital investment needs
- Normally no need for planning permission or landlord permission
Bulk gas
If your operations require a steady flow of industrial grade carbon dioxide, nitrogen, argon or oxygen in volumes exceeding 1000Nm3 per month, Energas's bulk distribution and storage solutions will meet your needs. Products will be delivered in bulk and off-loaded into cryogenic storage tanks at your facility. Our service teams will continuously monitor the levels of your storage tanks and schedule deliveries when levels are low. Air Liquide’s Industrial Gas Services division offers temporary, on-demand bulk nitrogen supply and mobile nitrogen pumping/vaporization units for virtually any industrial application.
We provide an array of service options, including variable flow rates up to 12000Nm3/hr, variable temperatures from -195° C to 200° C and variable pressures from 0 to 35 bar.
