Ensuring the purity of O2, N2 and Ar produced through cryogenic air separation is a major concern. Reliable gas analyzers capable of detecting impurities down to parts per trillion are essential to ensure the ultra-high purity levels often required. As well as careful monitoring, an understanding of gas supply systems and materials is also essential to avoid contamination or leaks.
We offer a range of analyzers that help specialty gas companies monitor their systems for contamination from moisture ingress as well as O2 , N2 and other gases in ranges down to parts per trillion. We bring together years of experience in serving this highly specialist and demanding application making it easier for you to find the exact mix of products for each measurement point.
We provide purity and trace impurity measurements for air intake and preliminary purification, post distillation quality control plus storage and distribution. Key parameters include: Trace moisture, Trace hydrocarbons, andTrace impurities in O2, N2, Ar
