Purification of Pure and Ultrapure Gases

Technical gases are used in a broad range of applications – from carrier gases in analytical systems, to process gases in industrial units, to food-grade components in consumer products. These gases are tailored for their particular use so the degree of purity is a critical consideration. To obtain the quality needed, gases must be purified to eliminate substances such as hydrocarbons, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide or sulphur compounds, to name but a few typical impurities. Süd-Chemie´s catalysts and adsorbents are able to reduce the level of these undesirable substances to minimal levels of a few ppm or even ppb. Building on decades of research and practical application Süd-Chemie has developed the preferred products to address the high quality demands of this application. This is reflected in mechanically stable and durable products that ensure efficient and reliable purification of technical gases.
