Ammonia
cracker of XRAQ(FC)series takes liquid ammonia as the source material ,and when heated, decomposes
into the mixed gas of 75% H2 and25% N2 under the action of catalyst.
Some of the usages of Ammonia cracker of XRAQ
series:
1)
It is used as the protective gas in the furnace which produces and processes
the black metal, on-ferrous metal, metal plate, strip, wire material tubing and
standard parts of machinery.
2)
It is used as the shielding gas of tinning bath in the float glass production.
3)
It is applied to the sintering circuit of cemented carbide and powder
metallurgy.
4)
It is applied to the sintering of high-temperature refractory (such as silicon
carbide, silicon nitride)
5)
It is used as the reducing gas in chemical industry.
6)
It is used for deoxidization by hydrogenation in the nitrogen purification.
The Advancement of
XRAQ(FC) series:
1)Low cost:Device of XRAQ(FC)series is an easy way to get the mixed gas of N2 and H2.Compared with
hydrogen generation device by water electrolysis, it possesses the advantage of
low investment, simple structure and easy operation.
2)Reliable Performance: Temperature is
controlled by automatic temperature controller; flow rate is regulated by
valves; no need of specially trained operators; stable gas can be get
consecutively.
3) High quality catalyst, stainless steel that
is heat and corrosion resistant, nickel chrome electric heating element are
selected to use, which prolongs the service life.
4) Strong technological team and high-quality
after-sale service. When installed on spot, the only thing to do is to connect
the gas source and power. Excellent electrical and mechanical assembly
technology; Continuous technical services are provided; Responsible for on-site
commissioning and training.

Antioch creates fire safety commission
The *Daily Herald* recently covered a new fire safety commission in Antioch, aimed at exploring ways to improve cooperation and potentially consolidate emergency services for both the village and unincorporated areas of Antioch Township. The initiative comes as local leaders recognize the need for a more streamlined and efficient system.
Residents in Antioch and Antioch Township are served by four separate fire and rescue agencies: the First Fire Protection District of Antioch, the Antioch Rescue Squad, the Antioch Volunteer Fire Department, and Superior Ambulance Service. Together, they serve around 28,000 people across a 37-square-mile area. However, the current structure has led to confusion, with overlapping roles and services that have made it difficult for residents to understand who is responsible for what.
Local officials, including Village Administrator Jim Keim and Fire Chief John Nixon, are part of a newly formed fire safety commission tasked with evaluating the situation and proposing solutions. The group includes representatives from the village, township, and fire districts, and aims to create a more cost-effective and unified system.
The complexity of the current setup has been exacerbated by disputes between boards, unclear ownership of equipment, and evolving needs in emergency response. For example, the First Fire Protection District serves unincorporated areas, while the Antioch Volunteer Fire Department handles the village. Fire calls are split roughly 65% to 35% between the two areas, but responsibilities for equipment and personnel often overlap.
Many fire stations, trucks, and equipment are co-owned by the fire district and the village, and the volunteer department even provides manpower to assist with fires in unincorporated areas. Rescue services are also divided, with the Antioch Rescue Squad handling unincorporated regions and Superior Ambulance serving the village.
One of the biggest challenges is the future of the Antioch Rescue Squad, which has faced significant internal struggles. After a sexual harassment lawsuit in 2012, followed by financial mismanagement and legal issues, the squad lost key leadership and eventually ended its service in the village in May. It now operates under a one-year contract with the fire district, while the village continues to use Superior Ambulance.
Nixon acknowledged that any consolidation could threaten the existence of the Rescue Squad, but he remains open to the possibility. Meanwhile, Rescue Squad Chief Brian DeKind said he supports the discussion and believes the focus should be on what’s best for the community.
This isn’t the first time consolidation has been considered. A 2008 study by the Illinois Fire Chiefs Association recommended merging the Antioch Volunteer Fire Department, Rescue Squad, and Fire Protection District, but the plan was never implemented. Now, with renewed interest and a dedicated commission, the community may finally take steps toward a more unified approach to emergency services.
