Other applications include fuel gases for total hydrocarbon analyzers, supply gases for hydrogenation reactors, hydrogen for pilot scale fuel cells assays and hydrogen for collision reaction gases.

Four different models have been upgraded to the 100, 165, 260 and 510 ml/min units producing high purity hydrogen, 99.9999% at up to 6.89 bar. Special features include an advanced PEM electrochemical cell protection system with microprocessor controls, a unique water hydration circulation purification system. This is also complimented by USB capability with software options for remote monitoring and control, blue intensity back lighted display for simple operator use with touch screen visuals for system status checks, Automatic water fill options, and data logging performance controls for preventative maintenance with reporting tools for use in regulated environments where system validations are required.
