MUMBAI, India, Sept. 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617085704 A) filed by Air Products And Chemicals, Inc. on July 13, 2026, for Apparatus And Method For Nitrogen Generation For Methanol Powered Maritime Vehicle.
Inventors include Opheim, Jarle; and Haugland, Christer.
The application for the patent was published on September 04, 2026, under issue no. 36/2026.
Abstract: An apparatus for nitrogen generation for methanol powered maritime vehicles can include a compression system for compressing air and feeding compressed air to a separation unit for separation of nitrogen and oxygen from the compressed air. The nitrogen can be output from the separation unit for storage at an elevated pre- selected pressure suitable for feeding to a methanol engine of a maritime vehicle (e.g. a ship) for use in purging, leak testing, inerting, or other uses. Embodiments can be configured so there is no heat exchanger or booster compressor positioned between the separation unit and the nitrogen storage unit.
