Airrain Unveils Newly Developed Hydrogen Separation Membrane Module at 'Gastech 2026'

Airrein is attending Gastech 2026 held in Bangkok, Thailand, introducing its technology.

Specialized gas separation membrane company Airrain unveiled its newly developed hydrogen separation membrane module for the first time at 'Gastech 2026', a world-renowned gas and energy exhibition. By expanding the application of gas separation membranes to the hydrogen sector, following nitrogen generation, biogas upgrading, and carbon dioxide capture, the company is seeking to increase its presence in the global energy market.

Airrain announced on the 17th that it participated in Gastech 2026, which took place in Bangkok, Thailand from September 14 to 17, 2026.

Gastech is an exhibition that covers the entire global energy industry, including natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), low-carbon energy, hydrogen, electrification, and artificial intelligence (AI) in the energy sector. This year's event was expected to host 1,000 companies and 50,000 energy industry officials from about 150 countries. Leading global energy companies, government officials, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firms, investment institutions, and technology companies attended to discuss technology and business opportunities for the energy transition.

Major global energy and engineering companies such as Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), Baker Hughes, and Bechtel also participated in the event.

At this exhibition, Airrain introduced its newly developed hydrogen separation membrane module for the first time. The company showcased the competitiveness of its gas separation membrane technologies and international project references to representatives of global energy and EPC companies, and plans to hold further discussions with some stakeholders on potential business collaborations.

Since its establishment in 2001, Airrain has internally overseen all processes—from producing hollow fiber membrane, a core material for gas separation membranes, to manufacturing membrane modules, system design and production, and technical services. Using its in-house developed gas separation membranes, the company supplies solutions that selectively separate various gases, such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen.

At this exhibition, Airrain also showcased expanding applications in the industrial gas and eco-friendly energy sectors. The gas separation membrane for nitrogen generation is a flagship product that supplies high-purity nitrogen required in industrial workplaces. The cartridge-type membrane 'Meritair' for biogas upgrading is used to remove carbon dioxide and impurities from biogas to increase methane concentration.

Airrain has established project references through biogas projects in countries such as China, Brazil, and Malaysia.

In the field of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), the company also provides solutions using gas separation membrane technology. This is achieved by selectively separating and capturing carbon dioxide contained in mixed gases through differences in permeation rates by gas type. The system is characterized by relatively simple configuration and ease of modularization.

Based on its stable nitrogen generation business, Airrain plans to expand its applications into eco-friendly energy areas such as biogas upgrading, CCUS, and hydrogen. The company aims to broaden business opportunities with global energy and EPC companies, leveraging its fully internalized gas separation membrane processes and a track record of domestic and overseas projects.

Ha Sungyong, CEO of Airrain, stated, "Through Gastech 2026, we were able to showcase not only Airrain's accumulated technologies in nitrogen separation, biogas upgrading, and CCUS, but also our newly developed hydrogen separation membrane module to the global market. Going forward, we will continue to expand our industries and international customers based on our proprietary gas separation membrane technology, strengthening our competitiveness as a global eco-friendly energy solutions provider."
