 Flexibility – The Key to Your Success

The Universal 8000 is designed to produce a total quantity of liquid that facilitates economical merchant operations in highly competitive markets, while giving the plant operator considerable flexibility to vary the product mix.

Pure argon production – a standard feature

Cryogenic argon purification is a standard feature in every Universal 8000.  Unlike older purification methods, no hydrogen is required. 

Advanced System Analysis and Control

Universal 8000 systems are designed to operate in an unattended mode.  The advanced monitoring and control systems, with easily accessed real time and historical data, also allow remote monitoring and troubleshooting.  If a problem requires shut down of the plant, the production unit will be secured automatically, and appropriate personnel will be notified through telephone and paging systems. 

 UIG –Your Full Service Supplier

Universal 8000 systems provide the core technology and equipment required to economically produce liquid oxygen, nitrogen and argon at any location.  The equipment, interconnecting piping, and control system components maximize pre-assembly to minimize field installation time and labor. 

UIG offers the Universal 8000 system on a sale-of-equipment basis, with optional supervision services during construction, checkout, and startup; and on a turnkey basis. The plant is also offered on a turnkey basis, with full responsibility through the start of commercial production. 

Other plant components required for a completely functional plant will vary with each site. These ancillary components may be designed, procured, and installed by the plant owner, or by UIG. 

In all cases, UIG will work with the owner’s engineering and construction personnel to ensure satisfactory installation and startup.  UIG is also prepared to handle all aspects of plant design, installation, operator training, commissioning, and startup when the plant owner seeks the advantages of single source responsibility.
