ARI® valves for oxygen
Oxygen is a vital component of our atmosphere and essential for life on earth. In industry, oxygen is used for applications such as steel manufacturing, refineries, power stations, and in the chemical and food sectors. However, oxygen also presents a fire hazard in industrial applications as the colourless and odourless gas reduces the ignition temperature of many materials and promotes the outbreak of fires. Even at small percentages of oxygen above the atmospheric level of 21 %, the risk drastically increases.
Controlling the oxidising properties of oxygen – and thereby the safety of our customers’ processes – is one of ARI®’s top priorities. ARI-Armaturen is your reliable partner when using industrial valves in an oxygen-rich atmosphere for controlling, isolating, safeguarding and draining.
