The process of pressurizing oxygen indeed poses a high risk of fire. This is due to the
fact that oxygen, as a potent oxidant, can significantly accelerate the combustion process.
When the concentration of oxygen exceeds normal levels, numerous common materials, such as
grease, plastics, and textiles, become more flammable, and the spread of flames also
increases significantly. In view of this, in scenarios involving pressurized oxygen,
it is imperative to implement a series of rigorous safety precautions. These include,
but are not limited to, strictly controlling potential ignition sources, selecting materials
with fire-resistant properties, and adhering meticulously to established operational
procedures and safety regulations.
Safety is critical. The importance of oxygen cleaning, maintenance, and repair cannot
be emphasized enough. For starters, you should know it is critical for Gas Boosters
used with high-purity Oxygen, that for every 20,000 cycles, or 3-6 months, your gas
booster should be inspected and re-lubricated by a certified facility.
For every 500-1,000 hours of continuous use, or every 18 months, your gas booster should
be resealed.
