A
group of scientists at the Environmental Research Institute (ERI)
in North Highland College has been putting an N2 MaxiFlow
nitrogen generator from In House Gas through its paces researching trace
pollutants in the environment. Dr.Kenny Boyd, Principal
Investigator, explained: “We work on a broad range of environmental pollution projects, including evaluating the different pesticides that are used in fish farming and assessing the levels of pharmaceutical drugs, such as aspirin and antibiotics, found in domestic waste water.” |

“We wanted a safer and more cost-effective source of nitrogen for our mass spectrometers than the bottled gas we were using and evaluated a number of generators from different manufacturers. We chose the N2 MaxiFlow from In House Gas because it was competitively priced, had a good warranty and the application specialists were willing to perform a difficult installation that involved drilling through a three foot brick wall.” “The generator requires very little routine maintenance, which has freed up our time to do other things, and has removed all of the problems associated with using bottled gas. For example, we were using up to five bottles of nitrogen a week, which was proving expensive, and if the gas ran out during an experiment we would have to begin all over again. In addition, wheeling the bottles from the outside storage area through the institute was a huge health and safety risk.” Kenny
concluded: “The support we get from In House Gas is very good
and there is an specialist only 60 miles away if we need help, which
is very close considering how far North we are.” |
