Introduction

We
are manufacturing and exporting
Acetylene Plants and acetylene equipment
for the use of various industrial and other purposes. These plants and equipment
are manufactured by using the
latest technology of ING. L. & A., Boschi,
Italy and made as per international standards.
The acetylene plants has been manufactured with Boschi - Italy designs &
drawings and modified by experienced engineers to perfection. The acetylene
plant is fully automatic and all the operations are performed
automatically
by pneumatically controlled valves along with highly accurate sensors
and temperature controller imported from USA.
Acetylene is
generated as a result of the chemical reaction between the calcium carbide
and water. The by-product calcium hydroxide is discharged automatically from
the generator. Acetylene gas burns along with oxygen as a cutting &
welding torch and it provides the highest temperature of any known oxygen
gas mixture.
Salient
Features

¤ Capacity ranging from 25cum/hour to
100cum/hr of latest technology.
¤ Universal Boschi Brand Acetylene
gas plants are of robust design for trouble free working.
¤ No bulky gas holder required.
¤ Automatic controls for feeding water.
¤ Maintaining temperatures, pressures, and slurry drain are full
proof, efficient and are of international standard.
¤ Excellent
absorption of gas in cylinders.
¤ No gas loss and high yield.
¤ Very simple and safe to operate.
¤ Low power
consumption.
¤ Low maintenance cost.
Description Of The Plant
1. ACETYLENE GENERATOR ( MEDIUM
PRESSURE ) It mainly consists of a twin Hooper that is
¤ Agitator and its drive unit
¤ Carbide Hooper screw feeder and its
drive
¤ Flash back arrestor
¤ Safety relief valves drain
system & the automatic controls system
SAFETY The
generator is fitted with five safety valves. One is fitted on the gas outlet
frame, one of each of the flash arrestors and one on each of the carbide
Hooper. The bottom of the generator is fitted with an air-operated drain
valve which discharge slurry in response to the slurry level is high. There
is a water inlet valve, which opens in response to the temperature of the
slurry.
2. Cooler CondenserThe cooler condenser cools
the acetylene gas having the generator, which is hot and laden with moisture
and other gaseous impurities.
3. Low Pressure DryerThis
is a pressure vessel charged with solid anhydrous carbide which absorbs the
moisture in the gas.
4. Purifier
This is a large vessel provided with two sectors by wire mesh frame network.
Each sections by wire mesh frame work. Each sectors are charged with purifying
mass which absorbs gases like hydrogen sulphide, phosgene etc.

5.
Ammonia Scrubber
This equipment has a vertical vessel filled with a level gauge and water make-up
line. A particular as marked on the level indicator has to be maintained. The
ammonia scrubber all the water soluble impurities like ammonia.
6. Acetylene Compressor
The acetylene compressor is a three stage machine which is immersed in water
filled tank to avoid any pressurized gas to come in contact with air and also
to make sure that all the components are continuously cooled. The compressor
is drawn by flame proof motor from outside the tank.
7.
High Pressure Dryer
The high pressure dryer consists of three columns.

The
first column is filled with packing to avoid any void and for proper mixing
and the second and third are filled with anhydrous calcium chloride.
8. Filling Manifold The acetylene gas
manifold consists of two headers fitted with non-return valves, one flash
back arrestors, pressure gauge and manual isolation valves.
9.
Acetone Pump Acetone pump is supplied along with the Plants for
charging acetone in cylinders.
10. Automatic Controls of Acetylene Generator
a) Temperature cum water
inlet control.
b) High temperature alarm.

c)
Level cum slurry discharge control.
d) Level alarm.
e) Pressure controls.
f)
Control of high temperature.
g) Control of high level.
11.
Level ControlsLevel controller maintaining a particular level in
the generator. If the level is above normal, water can enter the carbide
hop.
12. Level AlarmThe pressure inside the acetylene
generator is controlled by a meteoroid switch.
13. Pressure
AlarmThis is the important part for the safety of this plant. A
pressure switch is connected to the alarm system.
