Abstract
Un procédé et un appareil servant à produire un gaz dhélium, de néon ou dargon au moyen dune unité de séparation par adsorption comportant des volumes en cul-de-sac minimes. Une unité de purification reçoit une vapeur enrichie dhélium, de néon ou dargon et une vapeur est recyclée de lunité de purification par le retour à lunité de séparation par adsorption de manière contrôlée pour maintenir la concentration dhélium, de néon ou dargon dans le flux dalimentation de lunité de séparation dans une fourchette cible.
