Chrysalis II ZERO Air Generators

The Chrysalis® II ZERO Air Generators continuously produce high purity air from plant compressed air. Matheson offers two models to choose from. The standard “GC/FID” model removes hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide impurities to less than 0.1 ppm. The high performance “Ultra” model removes hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and NOx impurities to less than 0.1 ppm, carbon dioxide to less than 5 ppm, and moisture to less than -70°C dewpoint. Both models also efficiently remove particulates down to 0.5 micron in size. The use of Chrysalis® II ZERO Air Generators in the lab provides several advantages. Valuable laboratory floor space is conserved by eliminating the need to use and store high purity air in cylinders. There is no need to continually buy replacement UHP grade air in cylinders. Using an onsite gas generator eliminates the need to recalibrate instruments after replacing empty cylinders with full ones.

Chrysalis® II ZERO Air Generators provide continuous flow and require low levels of air consumption and electrical power. They are easy to install and require only minimal maintenance. The standard “GC/FID” model receives the plant compressed air through a highly efficient coalescing/particulate pre-filter that removes particulates and moisture. The air then flows through a stainless steel, heated platinum catalytic combustion module, where hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide are oxidized. After cooling, a filter at the outlet is used as a final purification step to remove any remaining moisture and residual particulate material. The high performance “Ultra” model receives plant compressed air through a highly efficient coalescing/particulate pre-filter that removes particulates and bulk moisture. The air then enters a dual column pressure swing adsorption air dryer to remove water vapor and carbon dioxide. From the dryer, the air is channeled into a scrubber to remove NOx through an adsorption process. Next, the air flows through a stainless steel, heated platinum catalytic combustion module, where hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide are oxidized. After cooling, a filter at the outlet is used as a final purification step to remove any remaining moisture and residual particulate material.
