Johnson Matthey Introduces
Its New Line of Bulk Purifiers...Adding State-Of-The-Art
Features for Advanced Performance
WEST CHESTER, PA, December 12, 2005 – Johnson
Matthey's Gas Purification Technology (GPT) group announces
the introduction of its newest line of palladium membrane based
bulk hydrogen purifies. The new GPT Series will replace the
HTG Series, which has been the bulk purifier of choice for
LED manufacturing. The GPT purifiers have new features
that enable purification of inlet gas quality as low as 99.99%.
The global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution
of state-of-the-art bulk and point-of-use (POU) purification
systems has made significant design improvements in gas system
features and the control system.
"It is our goal to continually
improve the performance, ease-of-use and reliability of our
industry-leading line of bulk purifiers," said Stuart
Bestrom, National Sales Manager of Gas Purification for GPT. Some
of the design enhancements include a compact, single cabinet
design, PLC-control with a touch screen interface and the incorporation
of our patented V-Purge System. The control system has been
combined in the purifier cabinet to reduce the overall footprint
of the purifier. The touch screen interface makes it easy to
operate the system and to quickly view important operating
parameters as well as alarms and alarm history.
Most importantly, the GPT
20-40 bulk purifiers have been fitted with the patented Johnson
Matthey V-Purge System. First used on the HP Series POU
purifiers, the V-Purge System quickly and effectively purges
the purifier during start-up, shut-down and power failure.
Johnson Matthey's purifiers have
been used in silicon and compound semiconductor applications
for over 40 years. With gas purity needs becoming more
stringent, the demand for Johnson Matthey purifiers is consistently
expanding within many industries.
"As the demand for our products increases, so will our
efforts to improve and enhance our purifiers," explained
Bestrom. "We are committed to Johnson Matthey being the
technology leader with the most advanced, effective and highest
quality purification systems."
