Fuel cell powered vehicles, equipped with Perma Pure FC-Series humidifiers, transport visitors between pavilions at Expo 2010 Shanghai China.

Expo 2010 Shanghai China runs from May 1 through October 31.  As the largest world’s fair site ever at over 5 square kilometers, visitor transportation was a critical issue.  More than 42 million people to date have visited the site, using the 100 open-air fuel cell powered mini-buses to move between exhibit pavilions.

In fuel cells, where incoming gas must be humid, Perma Pure’s FC-Series humidifiers provide durable, self-contained humidification.  The humidifiers used in the expo vehicles recover water from the fuel cell exhaust and transfer it into the incoming gases by permeation through the walls of Nafion® tubing, a proprietary technology available only from Perma Pure under license from the polymer manufacturer, DuPont. 

With no moving parts, there is no parasitic power load on the stack.  The humidifiers provide over 10,000 continuous hours of operation in Class 1 and Class 3 trucks.  The compact, lightweight units are available in a range of sizes suitable to virtually any transportation application, from wheelchairs and motorbikes to forklifts and buses.

Halma’s subsidiaries operate in three main market sectors: Health and Analysis (which includes fluid technology), Infrastructure Sensors, and Industrial Safety, creating shareholder value with consistent organic growth and sound acquisitions. Halma companies operate as independent entities under the day-to-day direction of their local management, while reaping the capital and network benefits of a larger multi-national parent.

The company is seeking successful and profitable companies that are closely allied to any of its current market sectors although fluid technology is a particular focus.  It has $150m earmarked for acquisitions.

Halma’s fluid technology companies make critical components such as pumps, valves, probes, connectors and tubing used by scientific and medical diagnostic instrument manufacturers for demanding fluid handling applications.  Its companies also manufacture dryers, humidifiers, and sample conditioning components and equipment used in medical, environmental and scientific analytical equipment. Its UV water treatment equipment is used all over the world in a wide variety of applications for progressive, non-chemical disinfection and microbiological control. 

“There continues to be strong demand for our fluid technology products, both on the component and the water treatment side,” explains Chuck Dubois, Divisional Chief Executive of Halma’s Fluid Technology Division.  “Scientific and medical diagnostic fields are expanding with new equipment and technology.  Water resources and access to safe, clean water are global concerns.  We are looking for companies with products and technologies that can meet these demands.  The capital, marketing and technical resources Halma can offer, to the right company, can enable these technologies to reach their full market potential.”

To present potential acquisitions opportunities, please contact Chuck Dubois (chuck.dubois@halma.com), Divisional Chief Executive; 4 Precision Road, Danbury, CT 06810; Tel: 203.731.0200.

Toms River, NJ (June 9, 2010) – Perma Pure’s newly re-designed website, www.permapure.com, delivers gas conditioning information by product application for customers in the Scientific/Research, Medical, Environmental and Fuel Cell fields.  Better content organization and practical online tools aid in finding the best product fit.

A number of Perma Pure’s products use a proprietary Nafion permeable membrane technology to remove moisture from gas sample streams, without altering the concentrations of typical analyte gases to be measured.  Nafion’s unique properties also make it suitable for humidification of gas streams. 

At the new www.permapure.com, users can access product and technical information on the company’s full range of gas conditioning products.  A handy reference menu provides specific Nafion analyte retention information for a wide range of chemicals.  A link to the NIST Standard Reference Data enables more detailed chemical research by formula and name.  Embedded tools convert temperature and calculate dew point, with a link to download the HumiCalc humidity conversion software.

Perma Pure’s MD™-Series Dryer with dual swivel head connectors.

Using patented Nafion® membrane technology, MD-Series dryers selectively remove only water vapor from gas samples, leaving the concentration of other gas stream constituents intact for measurement.  With this one step drying solution there is no need for a drip leg, peltier cooler, or desiccant canister.  Without moving parts, the dryers are highly reliable and require no routine maintenance.

The new dual swivel head connectors speed manufacturing time and eliminate the need for adjustments to the OEM’s equipment.  The upgraded dryers install even more quickly with less chance of damage.

The two swivel head connecter upgrade is available on polypropylene and fluorocarbon MD-Series dryers, available in a range of sizes to accommodate a variety of applications with flow rates of up to 4 LPM.  The compact design is easily incorporated into analyzer cabinets.

The GASS-2040 system was tested and certified through an independent audit by TÜV SÜD America Inc. as compliant with EN 61010 – 1 : 2001 (2nd Edition) safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use.

The system prepares demanding gas samples for analysis by removing acid mists, coalescable liquids, water and particulates without altering the concentrations of analyte gases. The GASS-2040 processes samples containing as much as 50% water at rates of up to 25 liters per minute, removing particulates and reducing water content to dew points as low as -25°C.

Water-soluble analyte gases such as CO, CO2, HCl, NOX, O2 and SO2 are protected from loss through dissolution in condensate, and a much lower dew point is achieved than with chiller/condenser technologies. In particular, the GASS-2040 has been successful measuring low level SO2 (under 50ppm) when cooler have failed to preserve the analyte. The durable, all stainless, NEMA 4X rated enclosure resists corrosion, for mounting directly on the stack–eliminating costly, heated sample lines.
