Prosessikaasu

Prosessikaasu, also known as process gas, refers to a mixture of gases produced during various industrial manufacturing processes. These gases can be byproducts of chemical reactions, thermal treatments, or material processing. The composition of prosessikaasu varies widely depending on the specific industrial activity. For example, gases from a coking plant might contain hydrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen, while gases from a cement kiln could include carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and small amounts of sulfur dioxide.

The handling and management of prosessikaasu are crucial for industrial safety and environmental protection. Many prosessikaasut are flammable or toxic, requiring careful containment and ventilation systems. Furthermore, some prosessikaasut contain greenhouse gases or pollutants, necessitating treatment before release into the atmosphere. Depending on their composition and volume, prosessikaasut can also be valuable resources. They can be captured and purified for reuse as fuel, feedstock for other chemical processes, or as a source of specific elements. For instance, hydrogen produced as a byproduct in some industries is increasingly being recovered for use in fuel cells or other chemical syntheses. The economic and environmental benefits of valorizing prosessikaasu are driving innovation in gas separation and purification technologies.
