Advantages of Balston Nitrogen® Generators

Balston Membrane Nitrogen Generators produce up to 99.5% pure, commercially sterile nitrogen at dewpoints to -58°F (-50°C) from a compressed air supply. All Membrane Nitrogen Generators include a 0.01 micron membrane filter which ensures the nitrogen is completely free of suspended impurities. For applications requiring monitoring and controlling, models HFXO Series and all Nitrosource NS Series include an oxygen monitor which offers LED readouts and remote alarm or chart recorder capabilities. An audible alarm signals high or low oxygen concentrations (determined by the application). The oxygen monitor is supplied with alarm relay outputs which may be used to signal a remote alarm, open a backup supply or the process stream, or close the process flow.

Savings and Convenience
The Balston Membrane Nitrogen Generators completely eliminate the inconvenience and the high costs of nitrogen Dewars and cylinders. There is no need to depend on outside vendors for nitrogen gas supplies. The hassles of changing dangerous, high pressure cylinders and interruption of gas supplies are completely eliminated. The Balston Systems offer long term cost stability by eliminating uncontrollable vendor price increases, contract negotiation, long term commitments and tank rentals. Once the Generator is installed, a continuous nitrogen supply of consistent purity is available within minutes from start-up.

The Balston Nitrogen Generators are complete systems ready to operate as delivered with carefully matched components engineered for easy installation, operation and long term reliability. The generators are freestanding and housed in an attractive cabinet. Standard features include: high efficiency coalescing prefilters with automatic drains, an activated carbon filter, and a 0.01micron membrane final filter. Installation consists of simply connecting a standard compressed air line to the inlet and connecting the outlet to a nitrogen line. The membrane systems offer the advantages of no moving parts and no electrical requirements.(1)

There is no complicated operating procedure to learn or labor intensive monitoring involved. Simply select the purity your process requires, set the flow and pressure, and within minutes high purity, dry nitrogen is available for use!

Once the system is operating, it requires little monitoring. The only maintenance involves changing the coalescing filter cartridges and activated carbon filter periodically. This is a simple ten minute procedure.

The Balston HFXO Series include an oxygen monitor which offers LED readouts and remote alarm or chart recorder capabilities. An audible alarm signals high or low oxygen concentrations (determined by the application). The oxygen monitor is supplied with alarm relay outputs which may be used to signal a remote alarm, open a backup supply or the process stream, or close the process flow.

Notes:
  1 No electrical power required unless used with an accessory such as an oxygen monitor.
