2. INTRODUCTION

The GT Ultra Zero Air generator produces laboratory grade purified air for various GT-detection systems 

(e.g. FID, NPD, FPD) and dedicated analyzers. Designed with safety and convenience in mind, this system 

will generate purified air from an existing in-house oil-free compressed air supply, eliminating the need for 

inconvenient high-pressure gas cylinders. 
Eliminating gas cylinders reduces operating costs associated with materials, labor and down-time.
The GT Ultra Zero Air generator will remove HC pollutants to less than 0.1 ppm. Operation of the generator 
is very economical since it is consuming reasonable quantities of compressed oil-free air and electricity. This 
complete turnkey system is engineered with the highest quality components, is easy to install and requires 
only minimal annual maintenance.

NOTICE:

 This manual is intended to provide technical guidance on the installation, operation and 

maintenance of the GT Ultra Zero Air generator. Do not attempt to install or operate this product without 
having fully read and understood the information presented. If you have any questions, please contact your 
dealer. 

WARNING: Any misuse of this product will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
