Model FID-1000 and FID-2500 Gas Stations
By Restek
The Gas Station provides both UHP grade hydrogen fuel gas and zero grade air for flame ionization detectors (FID) on gas chromatographs. The system is specifically designed to supply fuel gas to FIDs and to support flame thermionic and flame photometric detectors. The unit produces zero air by purifying compressed air to a total hydrocarbon concentration of 0.1ppm or less (measured as methane).
Using the principle of electrolytic dissociation of water and hydrogen proton conduction through a proton exchange membrane cell, the hydrogen generators produce hydrogen gas from deionized water.
- Single unit produces UHP zero air from house compressed air and 99.9995% pure hydrogen from deionized water.
- Ideal for supplying up to 1—2 FIDs.
- Eliminates inconvenient and dangerous cylinders.
- Silent operation, minimal operator attention required.
