2 More than 30 years of history Claind nitrogen generators Since its incorporation in 1979, CLAIND has pursued a path towards its current status of European leader and one of the top manufacturers of gas generators in the world. The company offers a series of products and services designed to fulfill essential requirements associated with hydrogen, nitrogen and zero air. The range of gas generators are based on exclusive patents registered after years of research carried out by CLAIND engineers in collaboration with internationally renowned universities in Italy and other countries: for example, the Prague Academy of Science, which helped to develop the first electrolytic multilayer electrode hydrogen cell, and Politecnico of Milan, which conducted research into the air purifier and assisted with the creation of the nitrogen generator. CLAIND was recently selected as the technical partner for the creation of the new Nanotechnologies area in the National museum of Science and Technology in Milan, having supplied a hydrogen generator and a nitrogen generator to feed an innovative project conducted by the Physics Department of the University of Milan. All the plant engineering and analytical solutions were created by CLAIND in compliance with the ISO 9001 set of standards and quality procedures, and the company s comprehensive range of generators meets the needs of the many areas of industry the units are designed to serve. The production plant is at Lenno, on the shore of Lake Como to the north of Milan. The main production facility has now been joined by the new CLAIND Research Center where new projects under way are investigating the use of hydrogen for the renewable energy sources sector. CLAIND operates in Italy through its own sales network, while business in the rest of the world is conducted through sister companies and local Dealers and Distributors aided by qualified after sales service centers. Thanks to the safety and reliability of its generators and purifiers, CLAIND is the chosen partner for the supply of gas generators in all UK Universities and a preferred partner of top Italian and international Industrial Manufacturers. In order to better meet customers applications requirements, in 2002, the all-italian management team embarked on a radical change in direction by breaking the Company s operations down into 4 Business Units: Analytical laboratory applications Food & Beverage use of nitrogen as a food additive Technology use of nitrogen for laser cutting and heat treatment of metals Energy hydrogen utilised as a renewable energy source Choosing a Claind generator, means trusting the manufacturer who can guarantee: ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY TAILORED TO HIGH PURITIES The CLAIND solution for self-production of nitrogen makes use of Pressure Swing Adsorption technology (PSA), which, through the use of specially selected molecular sieves (CMS), makes it possible to obtain extremely pure nitrogen (up to %) at very moderate cost. COMPRESSED AIR INLET DEPRESSURE AIR CMS 1 O 2 O 2 LOW PRESSURE AIR ENRICHED AIR EXHAUST CMS 2 SWITCH VALVE PRESSURE COMPRESSOR HIGH PRESSURE OUTLET Claind has improved the PSA technology with the exclusive internationally patented FAST PURITY system, which ensures: the maximum purity of nitrogen available just a few minutes after start-up increased working life of the generator reduced CMS mechanical stress higher efficiency lower consumption of air and electrical power and very high levels of purity obtainable more compact system MONEY SAVING/FAST PAYBACK Compared to traditional ways of supplying, there are no surprises or hidden costs with a Claind generator: the only raw materials it uses are air and electricity, in quantities which depend on the output required. BEST PERFORMANCES AND QUALITY OF GAS it doesn t need an external buffer tank AN EFFECTIVE PRE - AND AFTER - SALES ASSISTANCE SERVICE Before buying, Claind commercial consultants suggest the best sizing to meet customers needs, which guarantee high performances, but also can avoid unnecessary cost. Regarding after sales, Claind technical assistance is available for: repair service and under guarantee maintenance maintenance agreements spare parts and consumables COMPLIANT WITH STANDARDS (CE included PED, UL, ASME)

3 generators for industrial applications Flo, Pico e Maxi GENERATORS, turn-key plants Air outlet The FLO, PICO and MAXI series have a wide range of models, able to provide flows between 1,5 to 200 Nm 3 /h. Each generator is available in two versions, L and H: the H, working with higher inlet pressures, is able to supply higher outgoing nitrogen flow rates. L series (with a calibration on inlet air pressure at 8,5 bar) CLAIND can provide complete plants, supplying a suitable air compressor for the selected nitrogen generator. The generator can be also mounted on a skid on which all components have been mounted: compressor, nitrogen generator, compressed air tank, nitrogen storage tanks, dryer and so on.
