Conventionally, one of the above methods is to create air with a low oxygen concentration by burning the air in the storage together with fuel. Another method is to separate oxygen and nitrogen in the air using zeolite using an adsorption separation method to obtain air with a low oxygen concentration. Yet another method is to create low-oxygen air using a combination of thermal decomposition and combustion of ammonia. In addition to these methods, there are other methods of creating low-oxygen air by applying chemical reactions.

Figure 1 is a process diagram of this invention, in which air in the storage is alternately sent to zeolite adsorption layers A and B.
The oxygen in the air is reduced from about 20% to about 10%, and this low-oxygen air is combusted together with a hydrocarbon fuel such as propane under a low-temperature combustion catalyst made of porous alumina fibers. % to even a very small concentration. This process is repeated to reduce the oxygen concentration of the air throughout the storage to the optimum oxygen concentration for gas storage. In the above process, the air in the storage is sent alternately to the zeolite adsorption layers A and B, so that while oxygen is being adsorbed in one zeolite adsorption layer, the other zeolite adsorption layer is desorbing the oxygen. Because it has to be. This principle makes use of physical phenomena, namely the phenomenon of adsorption and desorption in response to changes in pressure.
