Oxygen Cleanliness Cleaning

Oxygen cleanliness cleaning is a process that ensures the removal of all contaminants, oils, greases, and other residual substances from the surfaces of materials that come into contact with pure oxygen or other technical gases. This process is essential to minimize the risk of hazardous reactions that can occur when oxygen contacts organic or inorganic impurities.

 

When oxygen comes into contact with organic contaminants, dangerous reactions may occur – including fire or explosion. Even small amounts of contamination represent a serious risk; therefore, it is crucial that all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned. Oxygen cleaning ensures that components such as hoses, valves, pipes, or vessels are completely free from any residues and ready for safe use in oxygen systems. This process is indispensable for maintaining both safety and equipment reliability.

Requirements for oxygen cleanliness are particularly high in the medical, chemical, and energy industries.
In medical applications, the focus is on patient safety, where any contamination could have serious consequences. In the chemical industry, equipment resistance and operational reliability are directly dependent on the degree of cleanliness, as impurities can affect both safety and performance.
