Hydrogen Catalyst
H2KAT Series

Various PNK models (PNK 150 to PNK 2000) with delivery rates from 20 to 375 Nm³/h offer a broad coverage of supply volumes. The preconfigured models are perfectly matched to the respective H2KAT model and can be easily combined.

The nitrogen supplied by the generator has a purity of 0.1% residual oxygen (3.0). In a specially developed reaction process (Deoxo), the nitrogen is treated in the H2KAT. The H₂ and O₂ molecules in the H2KAT are bound to H₂O. Thus, the remaining oxygen molecules are removed from the nitrogen by adding small amounts of hydrogen in an energy-efficient way and precipitated as water. In the end, highly pure nitrogen with a purity of 0.001% residual oxygen (5.0) is produced with extremely low compressed air volumes.

If the generator produces a purity of only 0.1% (instead of 0.001%) residual oxygen, the air factor can be almost halved — the generator can be designed significantly smaller and more cost-effectively. This not only reduces the purchase cost of the generator, but also that of the upstream compressed air components: a much smaller compressor and less complex treatment components also require less power, which greatly reduces operating costs.

The combination of the PNK nitrogen generator and the H2KAT hydrogen catalyst saves significant space compared to a large generator that provides the same purity. This makes the compact solution ideal for installation in containers.

The oxygen sensors fitted as standard in both the PNK and the H2KAT ensure that any deviation from the desired purity would not go unnoticed.
