HP Plus Tower Nitrogen Generator

The VICI DBS® HP Plus Tower produces nitrogen by utilizing a combination of filtration and pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology.

200–4000 mL/minFlow rate

up to 5 bargPressure (75 psig)

Overview

High purity nitrogen for your GC – with PSA technology.

Standard compressed air is filtered by high efficiency coalescing filters to remove all contaminants down to 5 micron. For ultra sensitive applications such as GC carrier and make-up gas, units also include the additional heated catalyst module to ensure hydrocarbons are removed to <0.1 ppm.
