Abstract: A device for elimination of hydrogen including (a) a reactor for reacting hydrogen and oxygen, the reactor being provided with a first inlet line, a second inlet line and an outlet line, the first inlet line admits a hydrogen-containing gas mixture into the reactor, the second inlet line admits a compressed oxygen-containing gas mixture into the reactor, and the outlet line serves to discharge the resultant gas mixture after at least a partial reaction of the hydrogen and oxygen in the reactor, (b) a turbine connected to a shaft which rotates with the turbine, and (c) a compressor which is connected to the shaft, so that the shaft transmits rotational movement generated by the turbine to the compressor, the compressor receives an oxygen-containing gas mixture and provides the compressed oxygen-containing gas mixture, the compressor being joined by a conduit to the second inlet line.
