Feed Gas Compression and Pre-Treatment:
Raw gas mixtures (e.g., air, industrial exhaust) are compressed, dried, and scrubbed to remove contaminants (CO₂, hydrocarbons, moisture), utilizing specialized molecular sieves and catalytic beds to strip away heavy particles before they can freeze and obstruct downstream piping.
Cryogenic Cooling and Liquefaction:
Gases are cooled to cryogenic temperatures (-150°C to -269°C) using multi-stage heat exchangers and turboexpanders, selectively liquefying components based on boiling points (e.g., helium: -268.9°C, neon: -246°C).
Fractional Distillation:
A series of distillation columns separate gases sequentially. For example:
Helium Recovery: Separated from natural gas or air using ultra-low-temperature distillation.
Xenon/Krypton Isolation: Extracted from liquefied air or nuclear reactor off-gases via precise boiling point differentiation.
Final Purification:
Adsorption beds, catalytic converters, or cryogenic traps remove trace impurities (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen) to achieve parts-per-billion (ppb) purity levels.
Cryogenic Distillation Columns: Constructed from stainless steel or nickel alloys to withstand extreme temperatures and corrosive gases.
Turboexpanders and Compressors: Energy recovery systems reduce power consumption by 30–40%.
Vacuum-Insulated Cold Boxes: Minimize thermal losses during gas liquefaction and storage.
Automated Control Systems: PLC/SCADA interfaces enable real-time monitoring of gas composition, pressure, and flow rates. The system features standardized flange interfaces and communication protocols, allowing direct connection to existing semiconductor fabrication exhaust networks or hospital gas infrastructures without operational disruption.
Heat Integration: Waste heat from compressors pre-cools incoming gases.
Closed-Loop Design: Maximizes gas recovery rates (up to 95%) and minimizes emissions.
Renewable Energy Compatibility: Integrates with solar or wind power for carbon-neutral operations.
Skid-mounted or containerized units allow flexible deployment in remote or space-constrained sites.
Scalable capacity from 10–10,000 Nm³/h to match industrial demands.
Rigorous Quality Control: Every core component undergoes 100% material traceability documentation, ultra-low temperature helium mass spectrometry leak detection, and full-load simulation testing prior to dispatch, guaranteeing zero-defect operation upon arrival.
The cryogenic rare gas recovery plant is engineered with advanced separation technology to achieve high recovery efficiency and ultra-high purity output. The system can be customized according to different feed gas compositions, production requirements, and application scenarios.
