SOUTHAMPTON, UK -- Dominion Gas has added to its first production unit in Aberdeen with units in Stavanger and Bergen, Norway, and in Singapore.
These units supply cylinder gases for diving, welding, industrial, laboratory, test, and calibration gases. Dominion uses gas analysis equipment from Systech Instruments for its quality assurance program.

At each of its four production units, Dominium Gas has a rig built using four Systech gas analysis instruments to continuously monitor both gas content and purity. Systech 830 and ZR894 zirconium oxygen analysers to monitor O2 content, a Model 542 programmable gas analyser to monitor the proportion of gases in a mix, and a Model 300 to detect any trace of carbon dioxide in the mix.

There are still many activities that only a human diver can undertake, Dominion says. This has increased the demand for diving gases, according to the company, especially special mixtures that enable divers to work for longer periods at greater depths.
