Protective Gas Plants
Best engineering performance made in Germany
HN/HNX Gas Generation - Protective gas | Mahler AGS
The sub stoichiometric combustion of hydrocarbons (NG, LPG) with subsequent conversion of CO to CO2 followed by removal of CO2 by means of Mono Ethanol Amine (MEA) is a well-established process for the generation of protective gas.
Individual plant concepts to cover higher capacities and different hydrogen contents, as well as back-up systems to guarantee a continuous gas supply can be offered.
