Industrial gases are often produced at high purities, particularly those separated from air in large-scale air separation units (ASUs). Yet that’s not the end of the story. Purity needs to be maintained or even enhanced, you see, as the gas molecules are moved around and then put to work.
Whether we are talking about argon for 3D printing, nitrogen for semiconductors, or hydrogen for fuel cells, to reach for three examples from hundreds, there’s a significant and growing demand for post-production purification, for high- and ultra-high-purity gases, and sometimes simply for further treatment after transportation, storage, or application has led to some contamination.
ReiCat’s pure take
Sophia Höfling, Chief Operating Officer and Authorized Signatory of ReiCat GmbH, says today purification plays a vital role in maintaining gas quality throughout the supply chain, from the moment a gas has been produced.
