High
Pressure Manifolds & Auto Cascade
FIBA Technologies, Inc. has skilled
welders and state-of-the-art welding
and cleaning equipment to build manifolds
that will meet the customers specifications
and quality performance criteria. Whether
you need a manifold for a tube trailer
or cylinder filling system operating
at 2,400 psig or an ASME receiver assembly
operating at 10,000 psig, FIBA can provide
the product. We manufacture basic
high pressure manifolds using stainless
steel or brass material welded using
GTAW and silver brazing processes, but
we also fabricate specialty manifolds. |

For
oxygen applications up to 3,000 psig, we typically
use specially cleaned brass. For oxygen service
up to 5,000 psig, we fabricate our manifolds
with monel. For ultra high purity applications,
we use electropolished materials and for corrosive
applications we use Hastelloy material. For
these ultra high purity applications, we can
also offer a manifold fabricated by our orbital
welding machine. For other extremely hazardous
products we have included computer controlled,
pneumatic actuators in our manifold systems
for remote operation of the valves! The cleanliness
of our products is insured by a custom designed,
automatic, internal cleaning system that is
environmentally friendly.
All of our manifolds can be incorporated into
an automatic cascade filling system that is
customized for particular situations. We install
them on-board trailers, at ASME storage sites,
and alongside the compressor and cylinder
filling manifolds. We recommend using a 3
or 4-zone, electrical auto-cascade system
because it makes operation of the storage
receiver(s) and/or trailers as simple as possible.
It allows the ASME receivers, DOT assembly,
trailer, compressor, and cylinders to interact
in the most efficient manner - thus maximizing
your product usage and minimizing your gas
product residual and compressor running time.
Functioning automatically and sequentially,
the system will pressure-transfer more than
half of the gas - about 55% - into cylinders
or storage before start-up of the off-loading
compressor. This is accomplished without the
use of individual cylinder hand-valves and
it allows the specific selection of gas pressure
into the building so that the performance
of the compressor(s) being used is optimized
by using suction pressures best suited for
a particular machine. (For example, the highest
pressures are best for the diaphragm machines
and the lowest pressures are best for reciprocating
machines). |
