Profile

 

It was almost a century ago, in Rawalpindi in 1923, that they started their operations by producing CO2 gas used to prepare aerated water for English Army. Well, that was the beginning of their business. Their CO2 plant was the one and only of its kind in north-west India at that time. It was essentially a bye-product CO2 plant – a rarer breed in those days. And that was the time when they got first introduced to the idea of industrial bye-product utilization and CO2 extraction without disturbing the environmental equilibrium.


Gaslabs Asia was founded as a wholly owned subsidiary of the parent company to bring CO2 business into sharper focus because S.S. Foundry Chemical Industries was getting more and more broad-based in chemical industry. With their first fully imported German Plant in the first quarter of the 20th century, production of CO2 has been their passion, pride and core business.

 

Along the journey of almost a whole century, they have graduated from just making CO2 to designing CO2 Recovery and Production Plants and perfected the art of Liquification, Solidification, Storage, Transport, Delivery and Injection-infusion Systems. While working on these developments down the years, they studied most modern foreign technologies but did not forget to incorporate concepts and requirements of Asian Users.                                                                          {short description of image}


Infrastructure

 

SS Gas Lab has everything from a well-equipped production unit to skilled professionals that enable them to manufacture and supply the best quality products. They have a team of highly qualified professionals that work round the clock to stand apart in terms of quality. Under the supervision of high-qualified technocrats and skilled management, they are poised to grow in leaps and bound. Subject also takes up revamping of older plants and suggests preventive measures in addition to supplying the skilled workforce consisting of chemists, operators and engineers etc. to run CO2 plants.




Quality

 

Quality is one of the major concerns at SS Gas Lab. Regular checks are conducted through all the processes of production meeting the international standards of quality and safety. They are an accredited manufacturer and exporter of several gas plants in India & associates in America, Germany and other places. The plants made in India make use of world standard raw materials and components. Their quality products are exported all over the world including Africa, Middle East, South America, Asia and Europe.


Their Specialization

 

Gaslabs specializes in making insulated tanks and boxes to store and transport solid and liquid CO2 in accordance with the international standards.

 

Gaslags makes Dry ice plants for industrial use. They also make small gadgets to make dry ice at laboratory levels. Custom built gas drying systems, refrigeration systems and filling manifolds are also manufactured and supplied.

 

Gaslabs installed plants give the input-output ratio better than any other plant keeping gas purity level 99.99%

 

The Leader

 

Dr. S.S. Aggarwal is a chemical technologist having done his M. Tech. From IIT, Bombay and specialization from USSR. As a Technologist he has been responsible for initiating many new industries in India. IIT, Bombay, upon recognizing his researches and creative contribution to the field of chemical engineering has awarded to him the Distinguished Alumnus Award.


Dr. Aggarwal has written numerous research papers and has traveled widely across the globe. He designed his first CO2 plant at Ranchi in Jharkhand in 1980 in which wood charcoal was used. The plant was modified to diesel burning after 3 years and subsequently was switched over to fertilizer bye-product to run CO2 plant. In 1990, he joined hands with Buse Anlagenbau, Germany, and brought world-class technologies to India.

 

The Philosophy

 

Strange though it may seem but during technical consultations and negotiations they prefer to sit on the same side of the table as their client and find solutions for client's benefit. Gaslabs Asia never works for a client without devoting its heart and soul. Technologists they are, and they prefer to remain. Profits alone will never drive them. Having a firm belief in this philosophy and living it throughout has not been an easy job but they have lived up to the expectations and really enjoyed it. They make every effort to carry it forward to the future.

 

Dry Ice Plants & Applications

 

Dry Ice is produced by lowering the pressure of liquid CO2, through a nozzle or other constriction. A portion of the liquid CO2 is passed through the nozzle, vaporized and the remaining liquid is cooled at a very low temperature. This process converts the final material into snow that is known as “Dry Ice” or Solid Carbon dioxide.


Dry ice is available at a temperature of -80°C. It is regarded as one of the useful tools that has found several applications in various industrial and commercial purposes.

           

 

Some of the applications are

 

It lowers the temperature, the dry ice evaporates in food preservation and transportation processes. It is extensively used for preservation of meat especially when it is transported to longer distances. In lowering temperature and Cryo grinding.

 

Heat Sensitive chemical reactions are carried at lower temperature. The temperature is lowered by dry ice.

 

Tempering of blades is primarily done with the use of dry ice.

 

Shrink fitting is done by using dry ice for closer tolerances.

 

Dry ice is being used for cleaning, blasting, using small pellets. This is similar to the conventional shot blasting except that the shot is replaced by small pellets of dry ice. The dry ice evaporates to CO2 gas instead of spoiling environment with sand /solvent /water / metal. Thus, it is an environmental friendly process and Dry ice blasting is a better alternative as compared to other traditional cleaning methods.

 

Some of the benefits of dry ice blasting technology are

 

v      Decreases downtime through cleaning in-place

v      Causes faster and more thorough cleaning

v      Eliminates any chances of equipment damage
