Every component of a bulk tank is important for its operation, but from a safety standpoint, the single most important part is the diverter assembly. Why? It holds the main ASME pressure relief valves that are crucial for safe tank operation and preventing catastrophic failures. Every tank that Ratermann sells has a Herose diverter assembly included.

In the early days of cryogenic bulk tanks, fitting a tank with valves and instrumentation was a lot more complicated and involved, as customer needs grew to include check valves, strainers, relief valves, and drain valves in addition to the primary top and bottom fill components. It took hours of welding and brazing to build up a tank, which greatly limited how many tanks could be outfitted and put into operation.

If you haven’t yet heard, Ratermann added full service oxygen cleaning to its roster of reliable solutions earlier this year, going one step further in providing exceptional one-stop service for customers. While you may already know that oxygen applications demand high purity, you may not know what oxygen cleaning entails or exactly how important it is.

The 2022 CHIPS Act (Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors) and subsequent rounds of funding to boost semiconductor production in the United States have resulted in an increased need for high-quality components necessary for manufacturing.

The term “ASME Certified” gets thrown around a lot in the cryogenic and compressed gas industry. But what does that really mean and why is it important?

Flow rate and pressure are constant concerns when it comes to cryogenics. When the demand for gas increases higher than the output of the liquid cylinder, both the pressure and flow rate drop in response. Here’s where a vaporizer saves the day.
