Specialty Gas Purifiers
AET designs and fabricates specialty gas purification systems to support a wide range of gases and application requirements. Utilizing cryogenic and adsorption-based technologies, these systems are developed to improve gas purity, recover valuable process gases, and support reliable operation across demanding environments.
While helium purification is a common application, AET systems are not limited to a single gas. Solutions can be developed for various specialty gases depending on process conditions, contamination profiles, and required outlet purity levels.
Application Flexibility
AET specialty gas purifiers are designed to support applications such as:
- Gas recovery and reuse from process vents
- Removal of contaminants from mixed or low-purity gas streams
- Purity improvement for reuse or resale
- Integration into closed-loop or semi-closed-loop systems
- Support for laboratory, industrial, and specialty gas operations
Each system is developed with consideration for the specific gas composition, operating pressures, flow rates, and end-use requirements.
Technology Approach
Cryogenic Adsorption
Utilizes low-temperature adsorption techniques to selectively remove impurities and concentrate target gases. This approach is particularly effective for high-purity requirements and recovery applications.
Membrane and Adsorption Systems
Depending on the application, membrane separation and traditional adsorption methods may be used independently or in combination to achieve desired purity and efficiency targets.
System selection is based on application-specific needs, including gas type, impurity profile, throughput, and operating conditions.
