“Cryogenmash makes the unit of krypton-xenon mixture extract and division for “Novolipetsk steel mill”

07.10.2015 The main enterprise of NSM Group, “Novolipetsk steel mill”, started the project of building new krypton-xenon mixture production unit. The replacement of old-fashioned unit by new one allows to increase by – products issue – inert gases mixture – in 2.5 times to 810 cubic meters per month.
Krypton-xenon mixture is made during the krypton concentrate processing, which takes out as by-product in the process of oxygen and nitrogen manufacturing in the NSM’s air separation plants. Pure krypton and xenon are used in aerospace sphere, electronics, medicine.
All works (in a framework of the project) – such as design, installation and construction work and commission – are done by “Cryogenmash” (the contract with “Cryogenmash”  was signed). Total project cost is more than 300 million rubles. Unit commissioning is planned in 2017.
Project management Director, Vadim Dubasov, noted: “The creation of modern complex allows us to increase the overall production of product, which is popular in high-accuracy machine industry. Its using allows our consumers to realize energy-efficient decisions in the segment of lighting and heating.”
