Designed as a compact, hazard free, lower cost alternative to the user of expensive high pressure gas cylinders in the laboratory. Replacing cylinders with a gas generator brings advantages: increased safety, greater convenience, reduced cost and higher purity gas for more accurate analysis.

• Generates UHP Zero Air with total hydrocarbon concentration (THC) to <0.05 ppm

  Low hydrocarbon concentration increases the accuracy and sensitivity of FID detection

  Eliminates buying and installation of bulky and hazardous compressed air tanks

  Prevents running out of gas during instrument operation

  Electrical: 120 VAC/60 Hz, 0.5 A

UHP Zero Air systems for gas chromatography provided by Parker Balston Zero Air Generators employ a four step process including filtration, hydrocarbon removal, cooling and final filtration to produce the required level of purity. Two stages of high efficiency coalescing pre-filtration are employed to remove oil and particulate contamination. The air is then passed through a heated catalysis module to oxidize hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water. The air is then cooled and passed through a final membrane filter to remove all particles >0.01 micron.
