Gas company signs diving order

Witt Gas Techniques' MG100-2ME Heliox/O2 electronic gas mixer is set to be used on a diving support vessel and will be delivered during early Summer 2007.

Witt Gas Techniques, the Warrington, Cheshire-based gas safety, control, mixing and analysis equipment supplier has received an order for a MG100-2ME Heliox/O2 electronic gas mixer with touch screen control from a leading supplier of diving and sub sea equipment for commercial, professional and military divers.

The system will be used on a diving support vessel and will be delivered during early Summer 2007.

The MG100-2ME gas mixer, with TUV approval to PED 97/23/EG Modul G, is being delivered with 70bar O2 and 200bar heliox pressure regulators and isolation valves on the inlets and will be used to mix oxygen with heliox, the breathing gas made from oxygen and helium, used by deep sea divers working at depths up to 300m.

It will mix the correct percentage of oxygen and heliox for the required depth; the greater the depth the less oxygen is required in the gas.

It has a better than +/-1% ABS mixing precision.

The mixer, which has an integrated paramagnetic O2 analyser, automatic calibration and an audible analyser alarm, is built into a 19" rack cabinet specified by the customer.

The Heliox mixture is adjustable in 0.1 steps, the inlet pressure is minimum 10bar and maximum 70bar O2 and 200bar Heliox, the receiver pressure is 4.5 - 5.0bar.

Carl Long, General Manager at Witt Gas Techniques said: "This will the third system that we will have delivered to the diving support industry in 2007".

"I believe our technical expertise and experience in supplying gas mixers to a wide variety of industries has helped us in obtaining these orders".

"Our whole ethos is built around the safe usage and handling of all technical gases".
