Optimizing gas chromatography at Richard Geiss GmbH with LNI Swissgas H2 generators
Sector, activity
Richard Geiss GmbH is in the waste management sector, specializing in processing solvent waste through thermal separation techniques. This allows us to recover solvents with the highest purity for reuse in the chemical industry.
The interviewed
Laboratory Manager at Richard Geiss GmbH.
Main Location, city
The generators are used in the company’s laboratory at the Richard Geiss GmbH facility in Offingen, Germany.
Application
The hydrogen gas generated by the LNI Swissgas hydrogen generators is currently used as both a carrier gas and a fuel gas for 10 FIDs in gas chromatography (GC).
Solution
Consistent purity of the hydrogen gas is crucial for high-quality analysis.The use of HG PRO 1300 hydrogen generators (2 units) and the ZA FID Air 6.0 system ensures accurate and reliable analysis of solvent distillates.The operation of our GC systems is no longer affected by cylinder changes, improving efficiency. Handling of gas cylinders has been significantly reduced, improving workplace safety and reducing rental costs.
Benefits
The HG PRO 1300 hydrogen generators and the ZA FID Air 6.0 system offer several benefits:
✔ Continuous and reliable gas supply, avoiding interruptions from cylinder replacements.
✔ Safer working conditions, with reduced handling of high-pressure gas cylinders.
✔ Lower operational costs, as rental and transport expenses for gas cylinders are eliminated.
✔ High-purity hydrogen, ensuring precise and reproducible gas chromatography results.
✔ Long-term operational stability, as LNI Swissgas generators are designed for continuous, high-performance operation—a reliability not always found in competing products.
IMPROVEMENTS
100%
Quality of analysis: the self-produced hydrogen maintains a consistently high quality, essential for accurate analysis.
80%
Safety: the use of hydrogen generators makes handling hazardous gases much easier.
Questions to our expert
Would you recommend LNI Swissgas generators to other laboratories? – and if so, what would be your main reason for the recommendation?
By using hydrogen generators, handling hazardous gases becomes very simple, and the quality of the self-produced gas remains consistently high. All of this is achieved just by adding pure water to the fuel cell.
