For highest levels of purity Gas purification systems www.airliquide.de
Individual gas purification... versatile, quick and clean Proven technology For several decades, Air Liquide has been offering you a range of gas purification systems which process gases to the highest levels of purity. For a number of often requested purification tasks, such as the removal of traces of oxygen or moisture from gases, Air Liquide has developed standardized purification systems. All of our gas purification system modules can be used universally, quickly and safely both in laboratories and technical sectors. They have been designed to be particularly user-friendly, a feature which gives them a clear advantage. By various cartridge sizes, some 100 m 3 of gas per hour can be purified just as easily as small gas volumes, in the millilitre range. The processes involved are based on physisorption, chemisorption or catalytic conversion on suitable carrier materials. A gas purification system can be used as Central gas purification (models: R20 or R200) Gas purification in process lines (models: R20, R200 or large aluminum cartridge) Purification at the point-of-use (models: large aluminum cartridge, small glass cartridge, small aluminium cartridge). 2

ALPHAGAZ Purifiers...... for large-scale technical applications Regenerable gas purification units for large-scale technical applications For higher gas throughput, adsorbers type R20 (operating pressure < 25 bar) and type R200 (operating pressure < 230 bar) are available. These gas purification cylinders offer, contrary to the gas purification systems for laboratory applications, the advantage of being able to be regenerated. Gas purification systems for the installation of R20 or R200 cylinders in large-scale technical applications are complete units, requiring only to be connected to the gas pipeline system on site always comprise a safety valve, shut-off and test valves as well as a particle filter do not require any auxiliary energy for their function are completely maintenance free, except for the replacement of loaded with regenerated cylinders.
