Parker domnick hunter wins Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2010 in the International Trade category

This is the ninth Queen’s Award that Parker domnick hunter has won. Key to this success has been the development of the Maxigas range of gas separation technologies. The Maxigas system provides businesses with a cost effective and practical method of generating their own nitrogen on site, from a conventional supply of compressed air. By providing nitrogen on-demand, Maxigas eliminates the need for traditional gas bottles and bulk storage facilities, which are costly, present health and safety issues and typically involve large numbers of freight movements.

Derek Turnbull, general manager, Parker domnick hunter, said: “The Maxigas series represented a real breakthrough. It was the first gas generation system that was able to deliver a reliable supply of nitrogen at a guaranteed, consistent purity, while offering significant improvements in energy efficiency. In addition, the modular design allows for ease of transportation, installation and servicing by comparison with existing supply options, while the user friendly systems can easily be expanded at a later date if the demand for nitrogen increases.”

Applications for the Maxigas nitrogen generation systems include a wide range of industrial, food and beverage processing, modified atmosphere packaging, chemical blanketing, laser cutting and oil and gas applications.
