Guide on the safe clinical use of medicinal N2O and N2O mixtures and to raise awareness on the misuse of these medicinal products

To provide a cross reference between the three sets of published monographs to enable a comparison of the requirements for each method

This publication is intended to provide guidance to the filler/owner of either transportable or static cryogenic tanks, detailing the systems and procedures that can be used to prevent them being over pressurized during filling (i.e., causing a catastrophic failure by excessive pressure).

This publication covers the entire supply chain of all dry ice products, from the receipt of bulk liquid carbon dioxide to the delivery of finished products to end-users. The publication provides specific guidelines for safe and hygienic handling of product, equipment and containers throughout the production and supply chain including food use and is intended for all personnel involved with dry ice.

This publication gives guidance on the safe location, installation, operation, and maintenance of certain oxygen and nitrogen generators. Included are systems using PSA and membranes for nitrogen production, PSA and vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) for oxygen production, and catalyst-based oxygen removal systems for nitrogen purification.

This publication contains a summary of current industrial practices for centrifugal liquid oxygen pumping systems. It is to be used when specifying stationary, electric-motor-driven, centrifugal liquid oxygen pump designs and installations. It is also a guide for the operation and maintenance of this equipment.

This publication provides guidance on the safe operation of cryogenic air separation plants (ASUs), based on the experience of EIGA member companies. This guide is intended for those associated or concerned with air separation plant operations and applies to safety in the design, location, construction, installation, operation, and maintenance of cryogenic air separation plants.

This publication provides guidance for reducing the risks of unplanned perlite releases and incidents that could have potential for personal injury, property damage, downtime, and environmental impact. It covers the use of perlite in cryogenic coldboxes and cryogenic bulk storage vessels and focuses on safety, perlite handling procedures, and management of perlite in the event of release, and is intended for use by industrial gas plant manufacturers, owners, and operators of facilities that utilize and maintain perlite as an insulation medium for cryogenic equipment.

This publication addresses Brazed Aluminium Heat Exchangers (BAHX) used for boiling product oxygen at elevated pressures. Because BAHX are one of the major components of an Air Separation Unit (ASU), industry guidance to assist designers and operators of ASUs is considered very important. This publication contains a summary of current knowledge and industrial practices used in the safe application of BAHXs for the boiling of oxygen at elevated pressures.

This publication addresses the use of aluminium-structured packing in oxygen distillation plants. The publication is intended for those who are involved in any aspects relating to the design, engineering, construction, and operation of air separation plants that use aluminium structured packing.
