LOTHAR+
The rising demand of cryogenic vessels or pipes for storage or transportation of different types of liquid gases (LNG, LOX, LH2, LN2, LCO2, LHe…) requires optimized performances, improved reliability, long lifetime and high safety.
LOTHAR+ is a metal-oxide formulation with the addition of a small quantity of Palladium. It is a mix of powders, supplied as loose powder, or in measured quantities in porous PET film bags. LOTHAR+ has the specific function to remove the Hydrogen load generated in the vacuum jacket of super-insulated cryogenic containers for the transportation and storage of different types of gases. LOTHAR+ can also sorb additional gas impurities like CO and other reducing gases.
LOTHAR+ is the best solution to balance efficiency, safety and cost effectiveness of vacuum jackets for cryogenic tanks and pipes.
