Where it started
Forty years of industrial process systems
For forty years we have built the hardware that energy producers rely on. It started in Notodden, with systems that take the oxygen out of injection water without chemicals, delivered to platforms worldwide.
Five generations since 1991, and the first, delivered to Snorre A, is still running. Today it covers water treatment, gas treatment, hydrogen purification and complete plants.

Minox Studies
From early screening
to FEED-level studies
OEM process know-how in your earliest decisions. We help operators and EPCs select, size and de-risk oxygen removal and gas treatment, from water injection to CO₂ and hydrogen, and carry that knowledge into execution.
