Specialty gases of ultra-high purity (99.995% and above) are widely used in a range of applications and industries including, semiconductor, pharmaceuticals, medicine, electronics, aeronautics and petrochemicals.
To deliver the required performance demanded in these applications, the delivery system of a gas must not compromise its purity.
Contaminants picked up by high-purity gases can negatively impact their performance, or in the case of reactive gases like oxygen, raise the risks of fire and life-threatening accidents. These gases, which are already an expensive feedstock to many processes, can add significant costs and operational challenges if they contain even trace levels of impurities. Contaminated gases can significantly vary the accuracy of analytical results, compromise the integrity of electronic components in semiconductor manufacturing, and hinder the yields of valuable medicines and petrochemicals.
