Method and System for Using a Target Gas Provided by a Gas Decomposition Device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for utilising a target gas flow consisting of pressurised target gas, which is provided by a continuously-operated gas decomposition device, wherein the target gas flow is supplied to a target load which discontinuously decreases the target gas flow, so that occasionally an excess target gas flow that is not decreased by the target load accrues, as well as a system for supplying a target load. The excess target gases occurring in a gas decomposition device and optionally additionally resulting waste gases may be used in a resource-saving manner through the method and the system according to the invention. This is achieved by the excess target gas flow being supplied as a propellant gas to a compressor which compresses another gas and supplies it as a compressed gas in a compressed gas line, via which it is fed to another load.
