Gas Systems
Ultra-high Purity (UHP) Gas Delivery Systems
Gas delivery systems are used to safely reduce gas pressure from high pressure gas cylinders to supply process tools and instruments that you would find in a semiconductor, pharmaceutical, aerospace, or R&D facility. The systems are designed to provide safe gas delivery for flammables, corrosives, poisons, or inerts to the tools at the pressure and flow rates needed to maximize productivity and control cost in the safest possible way.
Our gas delivery systems are designed for any volume of gas and engineered for your variety of applications and are highly effective to reduce costs, increase productivity, and increase safety. Gas delivery systems come in several different types:
- Gas Sticks
- Gas Cabinets, manual or automatic
- Gas Panels, single station design
- UHP Crossover Panels and Cabinets, semi-automatic or fully automatic
- High Purity Switchovers, automatic
- Valve Manifold Boxes, semi-automatic or fully automatic
SilPac can help with which type is suitable for specific applications. For example, an individual gas panel is ideal for applications when an inert gas is being used, and in the event that you exhaust your gas supply, it will not affect your production. Where a process sensitive tool may require a large-scale automatic changeover manifold to insure gas supply throughout the entire run.
UHP Gas Delivery and Distribution Equipment
We manufacture a complete range of gas delivery and gas distribution equipment for the purification and distribution of specialty gases for semiconductor /UHP applications. Our gas systems products include gas cabinets, valve manifold boxes (VMB’s), distribution panel assemblies, gas panels, gas sticks and more. This equipment combined together makes a safe and effective gas delivery system from the source to the tool.
Gas Sticks
Gas sticks are a necessary part of an effective gas delivery system. The assemblies provide the ability to distribute gas from a single panel source to multiple tool outlets. SilPac offers a variety of high purity and industrial gas stick assemblies.
Gas Cabinets
1-, 2-, and 3-cylinder gas cabinets are an integral part to an effective gas distribution assembly. Gas cabinets feature auto or manual process panels, as well as both PLC-style and Life Safety-style controllers specific to the panel design.
Gas Panels
Two-, three- and five-valve manual gas panels are great for inert gas applications, while six-valve manual and fully-automatic gas panels are available for hazardous gas applications. They are designed to keep your facility, equipment, and employees safe from flammable, toxic or corrosive gases.
Valve Manifold Boxes
Valve manifold boxes (VMB) help reduce your overall cost and are built with compact footprints for an efficient use of space in your facility. The assemblies provide the ability to distribute gas from a single panel source to multiple tool outlets. SilPac offers a variety of gas boxes for your applications.
Advantages of UHP Gas Delivery Systems
When designing a gas system, the level of gas purity at each point of use is an important component. Gas systems help to maintain the level of gas purity by using appropriate materials. Materials that are suited for one level may have negative effects on another level. There are three levels:
-
Multi-purpose
-
High-Purity
-
Ultra-high Purity (UHP)
UHP gas delivery systems are the highest level of purity, and all materials used for this level are to minimize. Applications that commonly use high purity and instrumentation include: Semiconductor, pharmaceutical, medical, R&D research and university labs, and gas chromatography applications.
UPH gas delivery systems and related gas system products offer many advantages for users. No matter what the application, UHP gas delivery systems provide:
1. Increased productivity: As previously mentioned, this allows for the continuous improvement and simplification of cylinder handling.
2. Enhanced Safety: One of the main purposes of a gas delivery system is to protect your facility and employees from toxic and hazardous materials. With UHP gas delivery system, your employees are trained to use the equipment on toxic and hazardous gases to further enhance safety.
3. Additional System Enhancements: Many features can be added to a gas delivery system including an emergency shut-off valve that stops gas leaks by automatically shutting off the flow from the cylinder or excess flow switches when the flow exceeds a specified level. This feature along with many others adds additional safety.
