These systems and units are unique and they didn't have any analogues
in Russia and even abroad. The company's achievements furthered application
of the newly discovered technologies to the rocket - space industry.
The specialists of Kislorod-1 inherited the unique traditions of erection
and testing of cryogenic equipment.
Flexibility of company's structure, economically literate organization,
management and performance of special erection works and commissioning
are fully adjusted for functioning in new economical conditions. Main
style of company work is a complex performance of work starting from
design of installation documentation and finishing with turn-key handing
over including approvals in supervising bodies according to norms
and regulations of Russian legislation.
If customer is missing specified documentation (partly or fully) company
performs necessary design before start of erection and repair works.
All activities of company Kislorod-1 are covered by federal licenses:-State
license of Gosstroy of Russia, Gosgortechnadzor of Russia, Certificate
of Russian Space Agency.
During many years of it's history the company has performed erection,
repair, commissioning and tests at more than 75 special cryogenic
and cryogenic vacuum systems and units for rocket and space complex,
metallurgical and chemical plants, health care objects and other industries
in Russia, CIS countries and neighboring foreign countries.
We have an experience of international cooperation with famous foreign
companies: AGA (Sweden), DRAGER, DEMAG, LINDE (Germany), etc. Kislorod-1
is ready to carry out erection, commissioning and testing works in
accordance with Employer's country norms and regulations as well as
with the Russian traditions.
Our successful cooperation with AGA company (one of the world leading
producer of gases and liquified products) has led to the huge project
"Forel" of AGA company - Balashihinsky oxygen plant (BKZ).
There were considered five possible candidates (companies from Russia
and Europe) in the above mentioned project. Inspite of big competition
Kislorod 1 was chosen for the project as the most respectable.
We deassembled in Finland and assembled at BKZ powerful air separation
unit (ASU) in compliance with European standards of capability, carried
out diagnostic works of eastern equipment for it's fitness for safe
exploitation in Russia, registered the equipment in Gosgortehnadzor,
carried out all the necessary preparation works with AGA's specialists.
Our company has also carried out the reconstruction of BKZ's structure
in the field of storage and spread of liquid cryoproducts: mounted
tanks for liquid oxygen with capacity 63 cube meters, tanks for liquid
carbonic acid gas with capacity from 25 to 100cube meters, inner plant
cryogenic communications.
All the erected equipment is covered by all the necessary Russian
and international licenses.
The size of this project is impresses. The capacity of BKZ after reconstruction
- dozens of tones of lequified gases per day. It's clients are more
than 100 companies of various industries of Moscow and province. After
reconstruction BKZ is the biggest liquid gas supplier of Moscow region.
All this has led to the partnership with AGA company. The close cooperation
continues and is based on long term relationship. These are the further
works on modernization and development of inner infrastructure of
BKZ as regards the storage and transportation of liquid cryoproducts,
repair works of ASU, creation of the necessary systems for storage
these kind of products for customers of Moscow region.
The works of Kislorod-1 company at health care objects are permanent
and long term. The work at medical objects is a matter of great responsibility.
It requires high quality construction and service.
Human life depends upon the spesialists's skills
and equipment quality.
Our specialists carry out assembly and service works of centralized
gas supply systems of various health care objects, even such as Cancer
Scientific Center, President's Administration's health care objects,
State Clinical Hospital (GKB) of S.P. Botkin in Moscow, the first
Moscow Hospis etc.
Medics know the specialists of Kislorod-1 and entrust to us their
objects. The reputation of the Hospital of Botkin is very high among
the citizens of Russia, CIS and foreigners who need qualitative medical
help. Specialists of our company accomplished the centralized gas
supply systems of cryogen products related works that spread medical
gases to 19 buildings of the Hospital. They achieved permanent and
safe work of the equipment.
One project of Kislorod-1 is a matter of special attention. This work
is beyond the traditional case. The reconstruction of the hospital
in Budenovsk is meant here. In fact it was almost completely destroyed
by chechen terrorists. The government of Russia recovered the damage
under the personal guidance of the President Eltzin and Lujkov.
Our company coped with the government's task. The specialists of Kislorod-1
during seven months completely recovered and reconstructed the Hospital
and it's air, oxygen and vacuum supply systems in seven buildings.
Finally the Hospital became a big developed medical center of region
importance. This work was assessed as excellent by the Russian Government.
It has to be noted that the main specialists of Kislorod-1 have come
through a long term practice during the construction of cryogenic
systems at space port "Bikonuur" This huge experience gave
us an opportunity to manage the unique international project "See
Lounch" (start platform "Odyssey") - mobile start complex
of sea allocation, performed by international company "See Lounch".
The world famous corporations took part in the project, such as: Boeing
(USA), RKK "Energy" (Russia), constructing bureau "Southern"
(Ukrain), "Kvaerner" company (Norwegian). The high world
rating of the companies - participants speaks for itself.
The project is based on the modern Russian rocket "Zenit"
with acceleration unit. Rockets of "Zenit" type have fully
automatic landing start at cosmodrom "Bikonuur" created
by the project of federal company KB of transport industry (KB TM).
The core of the project is the rocket module (start complex), based
on the sea platform. The project of this module was also accomplished
by KB TM.
The complex provides rocket start from any place of equator region
of the World Ocean. This provides the most economically optimized
and safe routes of delivering cargo to outer space to enter an orbit.
The project required great responsibility from the specialists and
extremely tentative approach to the project because: it is the erection
and testing of complex systems within small area, based at sea in
a short period of time.
The rocket module was designed in accordance with Russian norms. But
as far the construction took place at the sea platform, there was
the necessity to do all the works in compliance with the requirements
of the International Sea Register. This was Norwegian Sea Register
(Det Norske Veritas - DNV). It was the first occasion in the world
practice. That is why the question emerged concerning involvement
of special organization into the process of rocket module erection.
Such company should not just cope with the difficult project but also
to work effectively under the DNV's control.
As a result of thorough analyses Kislorod-1 was chosen for the construction
of fuel supplying systems. The professionals and work experience of
the company was found adequate for the project level.
The set of works, accomplished at the platform by us was the following:
design of performance documentation for all erection works (work performance
plan - PPR and route passport of erection - MPM); erection; commissioning,
examination and diagnostics of main fuel feeding systems that prepare
the rocket "Zenit" for start: making it full of liquid oxygen;
liquid and gas nitrogen; termostating, and performance all the steps
of erection and testing to the experts from DNV.
We coped with all this unique works in a period of four months.
As a consequence we fixed our partnership with KB TM. The cooperation
is long term in part of continuing the works on the project "Sea
Lounch" as well as for erection works on ground cryo and fuel
supplying systems of space port "Bikonuur".
In conclusion it has to be noted that administrators and specialists
of Kislorod-1 believe in future of our company. Today our company
is one of the leading organization, specialized in erection and testing
of special cryogenic, cryogenic vacuum systems and units in Russia.
