Gas cylinders - an integral part of everyday life of many people. During the period from 2012 to September 2016 almost 500 emergencies related to the handling of gas cylinders was register in Russia, more than 200 people’s death was occure. Saturation of old cylinders on market (3 million) and the lack of regulation that have tried to solve the main participants in this market sector.
The Second International Conference "Gas cylinders. Results of the Year "organized by CREON Energy and" Russian Gas Society "was held in Moscow in November 2016.
Due to the slow gasification, bottled gas for a large part of the population is still the only option. Up to 90% of operated cylinders have obsolete design. This means that they are not equipped with a locking device to prevent overflow during refueling.
Officially, filling of cylinders takes place only on the rare gas filling stations and points. Moscow Region Government proposes to allow refueling at the gas station only those cylinders which are equipped with overflow protection.
The following decisions were made at the conference:
1) handling of equipment operating under excessive pressure, is possible only with confirmation of compliance with TR CU 032.
2) it is necessary to examine the requirements for the different cylinders separately (steel seamless, welded steel, aluminum alloys, composites, fire extinguishers, automotive).
3) owner of each cylinder should be determine, which will streamline the process of updating the balloon park.
The consequence of inconsistencies in the legislation - problems with the identification and certification of cylinders. The innovation in this regard is the system of RFID-tags to track the life cycle of components supplies to medical gases.
The sanctions have created a unique situation for the development of on-site projects in Russia, which enable companies to industrial gases in the necessary volumes and create your own accessory components for medical gases, saving funds for investment in their core business.
Industrial gases market is showing its growth due to the implementation of on-site projects. Driving sales of industrial gases and supplies components for medical gases for the on-site system is firmly entrenched in Russia, and large consumers are trying to implement their projects precisely for this scheme. Thus, to date, among domestic manufacturers, although not the most favorable economic situation in the country, have the opportunity to take a serious gap in the market of gas supply systems engineering and industrial gases production of medical gases supplies components.
The current economic situation in the country has contributed to the fact that Russian companies began to turn not to foreign suppliers, and to domestic. In addition, it is necessary to establish the service, including the design of gas supply systems, supply of spare parts supplies to medical gases and after-sales service.
Major equipment manufacturers must strive to unify production to machine builders do not have to invent something new, and the customer would have to collect pieces of the existing equipment ready. The problem - as much as possible to reduce the cost of components supplies to medical gases. Manufacturers must be involved in the training of customer personnel, to provide commissioning, to take part in after-sales service and offer comprehensive technical solutions, in order to promote their products to the masses.
WestMedGroup Ltd. actively participates in Russian and international exhibitions of gas equipment. Our specialists are involved in the design of industrial and medical gas supply systems and service components belonging to the medical gases. Among the manufacturers of our equipment are MILS and Flowmeter.
