OREANDA-NEWS. August 14, 2008. Advanced Gas Separation Technologies Company (AGST) has won the tender held by JSC Vasilkovsky Mining and Processing Complex for the supply of a large-scale adsorption oxygen plant designated for the 8MTPA rated gold recovery plant currently under construction in the Vasilkovskoye field, Kazakhstan. The general contractor under the project is TOMS Industrial KZ.

The adsorption oxygen plant will be used to support the technological process based on the innovative procedure of concentrate reactor oxidation instead of the previously used bacterial oxidation technology. The proposed cutting-edge technology is more cost-effective, reliable and environment-friendly as compared with the bacterial oxidation process.

Advanced Gas Separation Technologies Company (AGST) has become the winner due to the superior performance characteristics of its equipment and optimal delivery term. An important factor in selecting Advanced Gas Separation Technologies Company (AGST) as the successful bidder was its extensive market experience and proven records of successful implementation of technically complex projects for gas separation equipment manufacture.

Pursuant to the contract entered into with JSC Vasilkovsky Mining & Processing Complex, Advanced Gas Separation Technologies Company (AGST) has started the development and manufacture of an oxygen adsorption plant with the rated capacity of 1,800 nmі/hr and oxygen purity of 90%. The projected plant will be extremely simple in operation and will require no continuous monitoring due to its complete automation.

Advanced Gas Separation Technologies Company (AGST) is one of the world leading manufacturers of membrane and adsorption plants for oxygen and nitrogen production, hydrogen concentration, gas mix control, etc. Advanced Gas Separation Technologies Company (AGST) produces a wide range of adsorption oxygen systems: from small-scale plants for metal cutting and welding to the systems allowing the production cycle to accommodate the cylinder filling option under the oxygen pressure of 150 atm.

The area of application of Advanced Gas Separation Technologies Company (AGST) oxygen plants is very extensive, including, in particular, autogenous oxygen production (other than automatic metal cutting). Oxygen generators also find use in silicate, pulp-and-paper, food and pharmaceutical industries, fish farming, sewage treatment and ozone plants powering, solid wastes incineration and medicine.
