Hydrocarbon Removal

Oxygen Removal
Final Filtration
In addition to the coalescing prefilter, particulate filters are incorporated into the design of the
Nitrogen Generator to protect internal components from particulate contamination. The Model
UHPN2-1100 has two Grade BX Balston particulate filters, and the Model HPN2-1100 has one
Grade BX particulate filter as shown on the Flow Schematics (Figures 2 and 3).
The catalyst module used for hydrocarbon removal is a stainless steel vessel filled with catalyst
and assembled with a cartridge heater. This catalyst module oxidizes hydrocarbons in the
compressed air supply to water vapor and carbon dioxide, which are removed in subsequent
purification steps.
The next stage in the purification process of the Parker Balston Nitrogen Generator is the
removal of oxygen, water vapor, and carbon dioxide from the compressed air supply. In this
stage, pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology is utilized to reduce the concentrations of
these compounds to <1 ppm (each).
The final filter on the Parker Balston Nitrogen Generator is a Balston Grade GS membrane
filter which removes particulate contamination to 0.01 micron (absolute).
