The Aerodynamic Separation Process (ASP) is Klydon's proprietary technology for separating components of a gas mixture or different isotopes of a specific gaseous compound based on the mass difference of the gas components or the isotopes.
|
The advantages of ASP technology can be summarised as:
- The ASP technology separates gases and isotopes.
- The separation process occurs inside a closed cylindrical container and is a volume technology, i.e. the process efficiency is not effected by poisoning of surface contaminates as is the case for surface separation processes.
- ASP operates most efficiently at molecular masses below 100 atomic mass units.
- ASP easily separates hydrogen gas from other gas components, e.g. harvesting hydrogen gas from carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, and altering the ratio of syngas mixture.
- ASP is ideal to harvest helium gas from gas mixture.
- ASP purifies natural gas.
- ASP purifies 'sour natural gas'.
- With the right material choice ASP handles even the most corrosive gases.
- ASP can separate any isotopes that have a gaseous or volatile chemical compound.
- For low volatility chemical compounds ASP is operated at elevated temperatures with great success.
- The ASP process is easily scaled to industrial level and most of the subsystems are procured from shelf items in market.
- The capital cost of an ASP plant is relatively low.
- Commercial viability is achieved at small plant level.
- ASP can separate all the medical important isotopes.
- An ASP plant can be constructed in any country that adheres to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) protocols for the protection of dual use technology.
