Air Products have announced the commercial launch of its PRISM high-purity oxygen generator product line, an advanced technology that lets customers avoid the hassles of managing and maintaining an inventory of oxygen cylinders.
The solid-state technology can be plugged into any standard US 110 volt electrical outlet. The on-site generator produces 99.999% purity oxygen that is free from hydrocarbons and biological or chemical impurities. High purity oxygen has many applications and is valued in a variety of markets, including those that serve analytical laboratories.
The technology is being taken to market with the assistance of LECO Corporation who develops high-quality analytical instruments. Based in Michigan, LECO has provided design support, testing and use of its state-of-the-art research and development centre for the PRISM generator.
