Zero Air Generator for GC
On-Site High Purity Zero Air Generation System for Gas Chromatography & TOC Analysis
Athena Instruments introduces the Zero Air Gas Generator for GC & TOC, a precision-engineered gas generation system designed to provide a continuous supply of high-purity Zero Air for analytical laboratories and industrial process applications. Built using advanced Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) Technology, the system removes moisture, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂), total hydrocarbons (THC), and other unwanted contaminants from compressed air through alternating adsorption and regeneration cycles. For TOC applications, selected models incorporate a catalytic hydrocarbon cracking furnace to achieve enhanced air purity required for high-sensitivity analytical instruments. The generator delivers a reliable and maintenance-friendly source of Zero Air, eliminating the dependence on high-pressure gas cylinders while ensuring stable pressure and continuous flow for laboratory operations.
Athena Zero Air Gas Generators are available in dedicated configurations for Gas Chromatographs, TOC Analyzers, and Online TOC Analyzers, providing application-specific purification performance for different analytical requirements. The product range includes ATZ-01 for Gas Chromatographs, ATZ-T for TOC Analyzers, and ATZ-TO for Online TOC Analyzers. Each system is engineered with automatic operation, regenerative PSA purification, compact construction, and dependable long-term performance, making it suitable for continuous laboratory use across research, environmental, pharmaceutical, and industrial laboratories.
