EnSolv Solvents have been used in the oxygen systems industry for many years to clean tubing, components, cylinders and any other parts that may come into contact with liquid or gaseous oxygen.

While at one time 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, HCFC-141b or Freon were the standard cleaning agents for oxygen breathing systems, EnSolv has since been proven to clean equally as well. In fact, NASA has even used EnSolv to clean rocket boosters prior to filling them with highly reactive and explosive hydrogen peroxide fuel.

EnSolv has been independently tested and found to conform to the SAE ARP1176 cleanliness level standards and is listed in the Compressed Gas Association’s Directory of Cleaning Agents for Oxygen Service. In addition, EnSolv is recognized and used internationally as a preferred cleaning agent for oxygen systems by many of the leading compressed gas supply companies.

Solvent Removal Following Oxygen System Cleaning

This paper discusses a number of methods for positively detecting if residual EnSolv solvent has been removed from oxygen systems following cleaning operations. EnSolv, US Patents 5616549, 5824162, 5938859 & 6176942, European Patent 781842, Canadian Patent 2284792 and additional patents pending, is a precision vapor degreasing and cleaning solvent manufactured by Enviro Tech International, Inc. that is being used by industry for precision cleaning applications ranging from the cleaning of precision medical components to the cleaning of industrial gas systems including oxygen and nitrogen components.
