MIDIGAS four
Parker domnick hunter showcased its latest MIDIGAS nitrogen gas generator at this year’s Gulfood exhibition and received its first order with a further 10 on target, just one month after its launch.
Held in Dubai in February this year, Gulfood is a showcase for manufacturers, distributors and suppliers from around the world and is reportedly the region’s largest and most important industry event of the year.
The updated MIDIGAS range, which was revealed to customers for the first time at the show, continues the momentum of the successful MAXIGAS range and offers several benefits to the user including improved performance, better flow rates and purity and a bridged flow rate gap between the MAXIGAS range.
Visitors to the stand were impressed with the new aesthetic, more compact design and recognised with ease of maintenance and quality after sales support, both MIDIGAS and MAXIGAS systems offer a comprehensive alternative to traditional nitrogen sources for a wide range of applications in the food and beverage industry such as MAP (modified atmosphere packaging), gas flushing, pressure transfer and blanketing of foodstuffs and raw materials.
Additionally, visitors who called on the stand were also impressed with the fantastic opportunity to save up to 90% on their nitrogen gas costs which is due to a low life-cycle ownership cost and on-demand functionality, which allows greater control over nitrogen production thus limiting waste and facilitating excellent energy efficiency.
Niall Sutton, Business Development Manager for Parker domnick hunter comments “As a regular exhibitor at Gulfood, we were excited to launch our new MIDIGAS model at this year’s show. We’ve enjoyed superb success; completing one order and receiving numerous prosperous leads. Our fantastic products combined with a great stand design and location has resulted in our best-ever show.”
Niall concludes “We look forward to both working with the visitors we met this year and exhibiting at the show again next year.”
In addition to food-grade nitrogen, Parker domnick hunter also offers the industry a host of additional solutions. Pre-treatment solutions such as food-grade compressed air equivalent to ISO 8573-1:2001 include OIL-X EVOLUTION compressed air filters and PNEUDRI dryers. Sterile gas and polishing solutions which ensure beverage-grade carbon dioxide remains within specification are also available. Solutions are backed by a comprehensive range of tailored, preventative maintenance contracts via a dedicated global aftermarket network to provide complete peace of mind.

Product information
MAXIGAS and MIDIGAS operate via the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) principle to produce a continuous stream of nitrogen gas from compressed air. Pairs of extruded aluminium columns are filled with carbon molecular sieve (CMS). Pre-treated compressed air enters the bottom of the ‘on-line’ column and flows up through the CMS. Oxygen and other trace gases are preferentially adsorbed by the CMS, allowing nitrogen to pass through. After a pre-set time the on-line column automatically switches to regenerative mode, venting contaminants from the CMS.
Carbon molecular sieve differs from ordinary activated carbons as it has a much narrower range of pore openings. This allows small molecules such as oxygen to penetrate the pores and separate from nitrogen molecules which are too large to enter the CMS. The larger nitrogen molecules by-pass the CMS and emerge as the product gas.
