Critical Systems, Inc

General information

Since 2000, Critical Systems, Inc. (CSI) has been providing an array of Gas Delivery & Abatement Systems, and Orbital Welding Products & Services related to process tool facilitation for Semiconductor and related industries. Company headquarters is in Draper, Utah with operations in Boise, ID, Burnsville, MN, and Shrewsbury, PA.

CSI has deep roots in integrated circuitry, and has built up an exceptional network of resources and capabilities. Specifically, our customers benefit from CSI’s expertise in (1) sourcing gas systems and components, (2) design consulting and customization, and (3) post installation integration support. Whether viewing it from an up-front cost perspective, or long term cost of ownership, CSI has built a track record of providing significant value for its customers.

Critical Systems features a proprietary process that takes well maintained, decommissioned facilities equipment, such as gas cabinets, and reconditions that equipment so that it easily passes stringent specifications for particles, moisture and oxygen, as well as code requirements. We have placed over 1,000 reconditioned gas delivery systems, as well as point-of use-gas abatement systems, into facilities around the world. The gas systems equipment that we provide to our customers has an average ‘mean time before failure’ (MTBF) of over 42 years. The company’s introduction of “Extended Life” and “Upgrade Programs” for Installation Tools is unique in the industry.

One of the company distinctives is CSI’s ability to address unique customer challenges. Given the nature of gas system reconditioning, we have built a depth of knowledge in stainless and Teflon fabrication, and even provide gas panel decontamination and repair. At the component level, CSI represents one of the largest distributors of DISS gaskets used for the sealing UHP gas cylinder connections. They also provide stainless steel “Cleaned For Oxygen Service” or “CFOS” tubing. Through our vast inventory, understanding of the market, and fabrication expertise, CSI can confidently address any sourcing or fabrication challenges, matter how unique or complex.

Through Critical Systems’ orbital welding rental program and our own stainless steel fabrication work, the company has developed a wide range of orbital welding products and services, including orbital tube and pipe welder training, orbital equipment repair, and many orbital welding product innovations. One example of this is CSI’s proprietary AC series weld head which was designed to eliminate well-known failure modes and design flaws in existing products. As with all of our people, CSI technicians in this area are true craftsmen, solving problems and coming up with customer solutions every day.

In addition to its in-house expertise, CSI has long standing partnerships with various R&D centers, engineering firms, and suppliers from all over the world to support virtually any project, regardless of size or complexity. Each project or initiative is approached with acute attention to detail, engineering the solution with cost control, future expansion/capacity, and above all, safety in mind.
