More Information

Generators represent a safe, economical and convenient alternative to compressed gas cylinders for many applications. Hydrogen, nitrogen and zero air gas generators are commonly used in gas commotagraphy (GC) applications. Hydrogen and zero air generators provide fuel air for FIDs. Nitrogen generators are used in place of helium cylinders as a source of carrier gas for ECD, FID and FPD detectors. The quality of carrier and detector gases is crucial in obtaining the best results in GC applications. The ability of generators to provide a continuous supply supply of high purity gas typically increases the accuracy of GC analysis by producing a cleaner baseline readout from the detector.

Zero air and ultra zero air gas generators are used in emission analysis and stack gas sampling. Large scale nitrogen generation systems are suited for applications including purging, chemical and solvent blanketing, food packaging, metal heat treating, and laser cutting. They eliminate the need for inconvenient nitrogen dewars and bulk storage tanks.
