Pressure requirements, purity, type of control, sensors, gas piping selection, grade, and type of materials are critical elements in the design of any gas distribution system. These factors must be meticulously considered—especially when working with corrosive, flammable, or explosive gases. Any compromise on these parameters can lead to equipment failure, operational downtime, and more seriously, pose significant safety hazards to laboratory environments, potentially leading to severe consequences.
Ziebaq specializes in the design and delivery of comprehensive, integrated engineering solutions for both upstream and downstream gas distribution systems.
All Ziebaq gas generators are engineered for easy, plug-and-play installation and designed to deliver gas on demand—tailored precisely to your application’s requirements. Our systems offer safe, regulated, and consistently reliable output with no need for operator intervention.
Types of gas distribution systems offered by Ziebaq:
Palletized cylinder manifold system
Multi-cylinder manifold system
Centralized distribution system
Auto-changeover system
Auto-shut off system
Auto-purge & check system
Volumetric flow with control sensor system
Hookups to GC/MS, ICP/MS, LC/MS, and other high-sensitivity instruments
To ensure continuous, contamination-free gas delivery, all gas lines installed by Ziebaq are built using pre-cleaned, chemically passivated or electro-polished tubing, meeting the highest industry standards.
High-purity gas is essential for ensuring accurate and repeatable results in sensitive applications such as GC/MS, ICP/MS, LC/MS, and other analytical techniques. Contaminants can compromise the integrity of data and damage sensitive equipment.
Common gases include Nitrogen (N₂), Hydrogen (H₂), Helium (He), Argon (Ar), Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), and specialty mixed gases, depending on the application.
Safety is maintained through pressure regulators, leak detection, automatic shut-off valves, alarms, and compliance with standards like NFPA, ISO, and local safety codes. Proper system design and regular maintenance are also critical.
Typical components include:
Gas source (cylinder, bulk tank)
Manifolds and regulators
Valves and piping (usually stainless steel or copper)
Delivery panels
Pressure monitoring and control devices
Alarm and control systems
System design depends on:
Type and number of gases used
Required flow rate and pressure
Purity requirements
Application type (e.g., analytical, synthetic, cryogenic)
Layout and size of the lab
A site assessment by professionals is often recommended.
Regular inspections are recommended—typically every 6 to 12 months depending on usage, gas types, and safety requirements. Leak checks, pressure calibration, and component integrity tests are part of standard maintenance routines.
Yes, many gas distribution systems are designed with modular components, allowing for easy expansion or upgrades as your laboratory’s needs grow.
