The Acetylene Gas Plant or also know as DA Gas plant from MOS TECHNO ENGINEERS are of indigenous Acetylene Plant manufacturer. Every part has been carefully designed by experienced engineers. These Dissolved Acetylene plants are made of the best material. Every part has been accurately made and carefully inspected before assembly. Each unit, after assembly, is charged and worked continuously to check its performance. You are, therefore, assured of an efficient and dependable acetylene plant. This Acetylene Production Plant from MOS TECHNO ENGINEERS is of an advanced design, incorporating several features not ordinarily found in other generators. This one is a fully automatic plant with twin hoppers (and needs an operators’ attention for only ten minutes in an hour).

Acetylene Plant Process

All operations are performed by pneumatically controlled valves, assisted by highly sensitive sensors, integral with the temperature control instruments. These, in turn, open the water inlet valve or residue drain valve, etc. Two hydraulic pumps help to open and close the supply of calcium carbide. This is fed into the generator by screw feed conveyors. The screw feed mechanism and the agitator are operated by flame-proof motors and fittings. We have acetylene gas plant for various capacities and sizes ranging from 25m3/hour to 100 m3/hour. Designs used in the building of the acetylene gas plants are developed by our expert team of engineers. We guarantee that our acetylene Production plant has got strong designs and is equipped with the latest features.

The complete operation is absolutely synchronized to produce maximum productivity and purity in operation. Any interruption caused during the production process, whether it is of power supply, liquid or air is indicated visually and also audibly by an alert ring to alert the plant operators.

Only flameproof lights and electrical fittings according to IS2148-68 (Group II) or BSS-229 may be used in an acetylene plant building. Acetylene cylinders must be of specification IS 7312: 1974 or ICC:8. The design of the entire plant has been made with safety in mind. Flash Back Arrestors, High-Pressure Reverse Flow check valves, safety valves, and complete gauging help protect both equipment and personnel. Various auto controls, safety valves, auto vent valves, non-return valves, and Flash Back Arrestors are also provided to make this plant absolutely safe to operate in all conditions.

Acetylene Plant Design

The MOS Techno engineers have Advance Dissolved Acetylene Plant and Acetylene Gas Cylinder are superior built quality and design, consolidating numerous advantages not usually seen in other Acetylene generators and cylinders. Our Acetylene Plant has fully automated pneumatically controlled valves and highly sensitive sensors that perform an essential operation with the temperature control apparatuses, conduct all operations. These sensors control the liquid inlet valve or excess drain valve, etc. Two hydraulic pressure-driven pumps support to open and close the supply of calcium carbide, which is supplied within the generator by fastener feed conveyors. The fastener feed mechanism and the agitators are determined by fireproof machines and attachments.

Acetylene Plant Process

Acetylene Gas Plant Ancillaries

Acetylene Compressor

For filling of the cylinders, and I.R. make reciprocating, oil lubricated, multi-stage, water submerged compressor with intercoolers, safety relief valve for each stage, driven by a 15 H.P. Flame Proof Motor confirming to
IS: 2148-68(Gr.II.B)is provided.

High-Pressure Drier

This consists of a battery of three high-pressure vessels. The first is filled with metal filler, while the second and third are filled with anhydrous calcium chloride. It is very important that the high-pressure drier is loaded up with Calcium Chloride, as any voids in high- pressure area are against the required safety.

Acetylene Filling Manifold

This consists of a battery of 60 filling connections to attach to the acetylene gas cylinders. Non- return pipes are implemented in different segments of the pipeline to the filling manifold. These non- return valves are extremely important for the safe operation of the plant and should be periodically cleaned to remove rust and scales, (iron cause fire). The acetylene cylinder filling pigtails (flexible hose pipes) should also be regularly washed to assure that all do not explode while this filling process, (if they do explosion, a fire would secure due to unexpected release of Acetylene).

Instrument Air Compressor

A flameproof motor with a shield tank drives the machine air compressor.

High-Pressure Control

If all the gas produced cannot be pulled in by the compressor and passed on to the filling manifold, either due to the low capacity of the compressor or fast production, gas pressure will gradually build in the generator. When the gas pressure approaches a predestined level (about 0.5 kg /cm2) carbide charging will be cut off automatically and further production of gas is discontinued.

There is no costly gasholder with the MOS Acetylene Generator. This item simply will decrease the purchase cost in such of acetylene plant. Moreover, as the acetylene generated is constantly at an accurate pressure, the gas transfer cost is also decreased. Since the production is constantly at a positive pressure, (once the plant has been purged with Nitrogen) no air enters the system, and it is this feature that makes MOS acetylene Plant naturally very safe and trustworthy.

Chemical Purifier

This acetylene chemical purifier consists of two courses of regenerative chemicals, which separate additional defilements. The purifying agent may be reactivated for re-use by the environment air. For consecutive acetylene production, one additional assessment of chemicals can be stored in an open wood trolley.
