On March 16, another piece of good news came from Henan Carrier Air Separation Equipment Group Co., Ltd.: the krypton and xenon extraction system built based on the 40,000 Nm³/h large-scale air separation unit that is already in operation at Jinan Iron and Steel successfully completed its commissioning process. The entire process was operational, and qualified oxygen, nitrogen, argon, as well as crude krypton and xenon products were produced; the levels of key impurities in the crude krypton and xenon met or exceeded the design specifications. This is yet another perfect demonstration by Henan Carrier of the krypton and xenon extraction technology in cryogenic air separation units. The krypton-xenon extraction system is a key element in enhancing the added value of air separation units and achieving comprehensive resource utilization. This system extracts krypton- and xenon-depleted feed materials from the liquid oxygen in the air separation tower, and by utilizing the existing large-scale air separation unit at Jinan Iron and Steel, it enables efficient recovery of rare gas resources. The successful commissioning of this 40,000-capacity air separation krypton-xenon extraction system represents yet another outstanding achievement by Henan Carrier in the field of gas processing. It not only enhances a company’s core competitiveness and economic efficiency, but also makes positive contributions to driving technological progress in the industry and promoting the efficient use of resources. Henan Carrier is dedicated to the research, development, and application of industrial gas separation and purification technologies, and possesses extensive experience in large-scale air separation units and rare gas extraction. The company will continue to drive technological innovation to provide customers with high-quality gas products and services.
