Pressure Swing Adsorption Plants

The most elegant way for the recovery of pure hydrogen from the hydrogen-rich gases is the pressure swing adsorption (PSA).

These PSA systems are suitable for the most different applications in the refining, petrochemical, chemical and iron/steel-making industry.

But the main application is the recovery and purification of hydrogen from raw gases, such as steam reformer, partial oxidation, refinery, ethylene, coke oven, methanol and ammonia off-gases. The hydrogen product obtained meets every purity requirement (up to 99.9999%) and is achieved at highest recovery rates.

Linde has continued with innovative improvements and strengthened its position as world leader in this field of technology. Over 300 PSA plants – including the world's largest units – have been designed and supplied by Linde. The well proven Linde High Performance PSA Systems provide an economic and reliable separation and purification of a wide range of process gases. These PSA systems are suitable for the most different applications in the refining, petrochemical, chemical and iron/steel-making industry.
