T
he Parker/Balston 75-83 Zero
Air Generator is a complete sys-
tem with carefully matched
components
engineered
for
easy
installation, operation and long term
reliability.
The
Generator
includes
coalescing prefilters with automatic drains,
state-of-the-art heater module and a
membrane final filter.
The unit is much easier to install than
dangerous, high pressure gas cylinders,
and it only needs to be installed once! All
that is required is a standard compressed
air line and an electrical outlet.
The units are easy to operate. There is
no complicated operating procedure to
learn or any labor intensive monitoring
required.
The Parker/Balston Zero Air Generator
eliminates all the inconveniences and
costs of cylinder gas supplies and
dependence
on
outside
vendors.
Uncontrollable vendor price increases,
contract
negotiations,
long
term
commitments and tank rentals are no
longer a concern; the Balston system
offers long term cost stability.
There is no need to use valuable
laboratory floor space to buy and store
excessive reserves to protect yourself
from
late
deliveries,
transportation
interruptions, or periods of tight supplies.
With the Parker/Balston Zero Air
Generator, you control your supply!
Baseline Comparison
The Chromatograms (right) compare
baselines produced by a Parker/Balston
Zero Air Generator (left) and Bottled fuel
air (right). The baseline produced by the
Balston Generator is very flat, with no fluc-
tuations or peaks, in comparison with the
chromatogram of the bottled air fuel sup-
ply, which has many peaks ranging from
0.25 ppm to -0.25 ppm.
