Kevin Klotz, Field Technician and Customer Support Specialist at Weldcoa on Friday discussed Weldcoa’s extensive process of repurposing a cylinder before it can be used for specialty gas applications.
Speaking on gasworldtv’sSpotlight on Specialty Gases: Trends in Markets and Operations webinar, Klotz said that whilst he believes purchasing a cylinder with a special coating on it is the best way to source a cylinder for specialty gases, he understands that those in the field have existing fleets of cylinders and equipment that could be repurposed, so purchasing a new cylinder is not always a viable option.
On the subject of repurposing cylinders, Klotz highlighted some of the specialist products and technologies that Weldcoa offer in order to make cylinders more appropriate for storing specialty gases.
