established in 1999

Beijing Peking University Pioneer Technology Corporation Ltd. (PKU PIONEER), as a state-recognized high-tech enterprise, specializes in the research and development of VPSA (Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption) and PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) gas separation and energy-saving & environmental protection technologies, as well as the design, manufacture and engineering construction of complete sets of equipment. PKU Pioneer has multiple wholly owned, holding and shareholding subsidiaries as well as a R&D center, pilot base, adsorbent and catalyst production bases and Beijing key Laboratory of Engineering, making us a leading supplier in China's VPSA and PSA gas separation and energy-saving and environmental protection industries.


Innovation is the primary impetus for development. PKU Pioneer is committed to promoting the industrial application of innovative technologies and is one of the earliest service providers in China to delve into VPSA and PSA technology, industrial exhaust gas treatment and resource utilization technology. Relying on the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering of Peking University and jointly establishing a R&D platform, PKU Pioneer has a highly efficient research and development team, rich engineering experience and a sophisticated service system. The complete set of units developed based on our proprietary adsorbents and catalysts has solved gas application issues for basic industrial fields such as iron and steel, chemical industry, non-ferrous metallurgy, glass and fiberglass, new energy, solid waste, paper making, waste incineration, water treatment, etc.


PKU Pioneer has designed and constructed over 400 large and medium VPSA gas separation and purification plants and projects, whose performance indicators have all reached the international advanced standard. Among them, the world's largest PSA CO purification plant and VPSA oxygen plant are both designed and built by PKU Pioneer. Meanwhile, we have also established a number of world-class innovative projects: a CO purification project from blast furnace gas, a CO purification project from converter gas (CO used for formic acid production), a CO and H2 purification project from calcium carbide exhaust (CO and H2 used for synthesizing ethylene glycol), and a dry desulphurization project from blast furnace gas, etc.


With the tenet of "innovation, exploration, satisfaction, improvement", PKU Pioneer adheres to focusing on customers, constantly pursues technological innovation and progress, and is committed to providing customers with quality products and services. Based on industrial gases and oriented to the development of energy-saving and environmental protection, PKU Pioneer has made great contributions to the construction of a resource-saving and environment-friendly society.
