Description
The Parker Balston FID-1000-220 Gas Station provides a dependable, on-demand source of ultra-high purity hydrogen and zero air for laboratories using Flame Ionisation Detectors (FID). Purpose-built for precision and safety, this compact unit eliminates the need for high-pressure gas cylinders by generating both gases in-house, ensuring consistent purity and improved operational efficiency. The system begins with prefiltration, where it removes oil, water, and particles from the incoming compressed air. This stage uses a robust filtration assembly complete with a solenoid autodrain, which automatically eliminates any accumulated liquids from the filter housing, maintaining optimal filter performance and reducing manual intervention.
For hydrocarbon removal, the FID-1000-220 features a high-efficiency catalyst module housed in durable stainless steel. This module ensures the delivery of zero air with hydrocarbon content below 0.1 ppm, supporting accurate, interference-free FID analysis. The system delivers a hydrocarbon-free air flow of 1000 cc/min, making it ideal for high-demand lab environments. The gas station also includes final filtration to ensure the ultimate in gas purity. A sintered metal filter removes particles greater than 0.5 microns, while an integral deioniser resin cartridge eliminates ionic contaminants. Hydrogen generation is powered by a PEM cell for electrolysis, providing a safe, efficient method of hydrogen production. A desiccant drying bed further purifies the hydrogen, reducing moisture content to 99.9995% purity. The desiccant beads visibly indicate saturation by changing colour from orange to clear, allowing users to monitor system status at a glance.
