We have many years of experience in HP Oxygen Systems and have carried out extensive research on the best materials to use for oxygen services. Oxygen is a non-flammable gas, but it supports combustion vigorously while also being highly reactive with other materials. For this reason, the selection of the materials of construction is very important.

Operators of oxygen equipment must be trained in safety and the correct use of equipment. This is why High Pressure Systems provide comprehensive oxygen training courses to prevent the possibility of an incident and ensure worker safety.

Diamonds are formed about 160km below the earth's surface, in the molten rock of the earth's mantle, where the right amounts of pressure and heat transform carbon into a diamond. It is not surprising then that artificial diamonds are produced using the same principal of extreme high pressure and high temperatures.

Designing and building the equipment is only one of the specialities of High Pressure Systems. An example is a system we had built for Prof. Ben Botha of the Pretoria Technikon where oils are extracted from dried avocado pulp by using COČ under high pressure and temperature. This is known as H.P. Supercritical COČ extraction.
