The Chemtron Gas NM Plus FID Tower is a unique instrument that combines the reliability of the hydrogen generator with a zero air generator into one compact package. The FID Tower can be installed next to the GC taking only 140 mm (5.5 inches) of bench space. This simple but effective instrument can supply all your carrier gas and FID gas requirements. Designed as a hazard free alternative to high pressure cylinders, all that is required is deionized water, compressed air and a standard electrical supply for weeks of continuous operation. Innovative software allows unrivaled operational performance and safety as well as the additional options of remote networking and cascading for built in redundancy. With a maximum output capacity of 1350 mL/min, one generator can supply up to 33 GCs. The compact design allows the generator to be installed directly in the laboratory eliminating the requirement for long gas lines and guaranteeing the delivery of high purity gas to your instruments. A sophisticated control system connected to an easy to use touch screen continuously monitors vital operating parameters to ensure a safe and consistent performance. Built in sensors will shut the generator down if internal/external leaks are present, contaminated water, low water or over pressure. This is why Chemtron Gas generator meet the strict safety guidelines to be certified for CE, FCC, and MET (UL and CSA compliant).
INCREASE EFFICIENCY
A constant gas supply with a guaranteed purity, eliminates interruptions of analyses to change cylinders and reduces the amount of instrument re-calibration required.
ENHANCE RESULTS
Hydrogen as a carrier gas is faster and more sensitive than expensive helium, with run time savings of 25% to 35% without a decline in resolution. The use of hydrogen as a carrier gas allows lower temperature elution, thus extending the life of the chromatograph column.
IMPROVE SAFETY
Gas is produced on demand, which allows for the safe use of the hydrogen generator when cylinders are prohibited or regarded as potentially dangerous. Sophisticated software control and full alarm capability, including for hydrogen leaks, gives the user full control of the gas supply.
ENHANCE PERFORMANCE
Gas generator can be installed in the laboratory close to the instrument, eliminating the need for long gas lines from external cylinder supplies. A constant guaranteed high purity gas supply improves stability and ensures greater reproducibility of results.

OPERATING DIAGRAM
Hydrogen is produced from the hydrolysis of deionized water across a PEM (proton exchange membrane), housed in a 100% titanium cell. The output hydrogen is dried via a dual stage process, a gas liquid separator and a unique cold dual dynamic regeneration drying system. In addition to water all that the generator requires is a standard connection and supply of electricity for a continuous 24/7 supply of high purity hydrogen. Consumable items are limited to the replacement of a deionizer bag every six months.
