The process uses LNG BOG as the starting feedstock. A He/H₂ mixture at relatively high concentration — obtained after multi-stage pre-treatment and pre-purification, with CH₄ and N₂ as the main impurities — passes through membrane separation, PSA, alloy, and TSA purification/separation systems to extract a high-purity He product, with He purity reaching as high as 5N.

As is well known, the conventional approach to separating He and H₂ is to add extra O₂, then oxidize the H₂ into H₂O via copper oxide catalysis, palladium catalysis, or combustion, followed by separately removing the H₂O and excess O₂ — thereby purifying the H₂ out of the He.

This solution instead uses a specialty material to separate H₂ and He without any combustion. The entire separation process takes place under circulating-water conditions and temperature, offering high safety, wide operating flexibility, low technical risk, and reliable performance.

The successful delivery of this batch of equipment is not only an important milestone in the partnership between the two parties, but also signals that the Fengsheng project is about to enter a new stage of improved production efficiency and quality.

We look forward to deepening our partnership further in the days ahead — not only exchanging technical knowledge freely, but also demonstrating excellent collaborative spirit and adaptability in the face of market changes and industry challenges, working together to overcome every difficulty and build a more prosperous, brighter future.

We sincerely thank the Fengsheng project team for the strong trust and unwavering support they have shown. May we continue to uphold the principle of mutual benefit in our future cooperation, work together happily, achieve great things together, and write our own remarkable chapter!
