HiQ® Products.Rare Gases.

Neon, Krypton and Xenon, the rare or noble gases, are only

present in the air in trace amounts. Air contains just 0.0018%

Neon, 0.00011% Krypton and 0.000009% Xenon.

Linde has been developing innovative plant concepts that

boost the capture of rare gases from secondary streams in

major air separation plants.

Today HiQ® offers the highest purity of rare gases, such as

Neon, Krypton and Xenon supplied in a variety of cylinder

packages and amounts. Deuterium and other isotopic

products are also available.

HiQ® Products.Chemical Gases.

Research Hydrocarbon products

including Ethane, Methane and others

are available in a variety of purity

grades and package sizes to meet every

requirement.

Chemical gases, such as Carbon

Monoxide, Hydrogen Chloride,

Ammonia, and Sulphur Dioxide can be

supplied to meet requirements from

cylinders to large bulk containers or

trailers.

HiQ® Products.Gases in Small Cylinders.

Many sectors and applications are experiencing a strong trend towards miniaturisation. Fuel cells

and analysers, such as the Micro-GC, are also being developed in increasingly smaller sizes, making

it necessary for the gas supply to be just as compact.

HiQ® MICROCAN from Linde is a high-pressure cylinder with a maximum of 200 bar filling pressure.

The name HiQ® MICROCAN links to one of its main applications - carrier gases such as Helium or

Nitrogen in modern MICRO-GCs.

Our portable packages:

• ECOCYL®

• HiQ® MINICAN

• HiQ® MAXICAN

• HiQ® MICROCAN

• HiQ® PLASTIGAS

HiQ® Products.ECOCYL® Portable Gases.

The requirement for calibration gases in small, portable cylinders

has expanded as applications in areas such as remote

environmental monitoring, industrial hygiene, health & safety and

mobile laboratory instrumentation continue to grow.

valve, pressure regulator and flow meter fully integrated within

the cylinder protection cap. The result is an easy, ready for use

system. The all-in-one system enhances portability and

convenience for remote calibration.

HiQ® Products.Specialty Equipment.

A critical point when using gas for analysis and

high tech production is to maintain the integrity

of the gas between cylinder and instrument or

reactor.

The quality of the gas is often not better than the

quality of the distribution system.

With this in mind, Linde created the HiQ®

specialty gas equipment product range.

“Do not drink very pure water through a dirty

straw.”
