Gas Blowers For Process Industries

Our Experience Make Us Your Ideal Partner In Processes with Gases Mixture Applications

HIBON offers a wide range of high performance process blowers. A wide variety of sizes, configurations, materials and sealing arrangements are available.

Our equipment is able to suit all gases handled or vapors including toxic, corrosive and explosive.

With an international renown, Hibon process gas blowers benefit from more than a century ’s experience.

Our solutions are particularly reliable and rugged.

They are in application in chemical and para-chemical fields, nuclear application, gas transfer, energy and other process industries…

Benefits Of Positive Displacement Blowers

By their principle, it is a volumetric machine, offering numerous advantages and particularly for process duties:
• volumetric efficiency;
• constant massive flow (kg/h);
• oil-free conveying, 
• constant air flow, 
• robust, 
• without internal compression, 
• reliable and high performance, 
• simple operation, 
• widely used, 
• belt or direct coupling possibilities, 
• large volume of flow possible
• Cooled by ambient air
• Easy to start

 

Construction Materials & Manufacturing Codes

To meet your requirement, HIBON blowers are designed in a wide range of materials: 
• Cast iron, 
• Cast iron low temperature,
• Carbon steel,
• Stainless steel,
• Nickel coating. 

Rotors

We can offer you trilobe (Three-Lobe) or bilobe (Two-Lobe) rotor design depending on your application.

Specific Seals

Seals are selected according to the applications. Their variety allows answering numerous applications on neutral gases, on aggressive or hazardous gases.
In case of neutral gases handled, the shaft seal of our gas blower will be relatively simple. Our blowers are equipped with lip seal, or improved sealing by one single mechanical seals. 
We consider neutral gases as biogas, nitrogen, argon, helium or hydrogen and any other non corrosive gas.
The main seals of the gas blowers could be available in different versions: 
• piston ring seals for dry gas, hydrogen, or non corrosive nitrogen.
• piston ring seals with flushing connection piston rings coupled with labyrinth seals.
• lip seal coupled with labyrinth seals for wet gases. 

In case of aggressive or dangerous gases

The process gas positive displacement blowers will be totally different. This version of gas blowers guarantees 100% oil free gas even in the unlikely event of the sealing system failure. 
It is applicable to corrosive gases. 
The gas blower will be equipped with a lip seal at shaft end.
Main seals will be different according gases and gases mixture:
• for gas mixture, Hibon may propose carbon rings,
• for mixed gases including % of water, the gas blower could be equipped with liquid dual mechanical seal,
• for dry mixed gas, a dry dual mechanical seal pressurized by nitrogen could be proposed on some process positive displacement blowers range SVH.

ATEX certification and compliance possibility

All the category 2 ATEX-compliant blowers have been specially developed to pump/compress a flammable atmosphere, classified as an internal zone 1 or 2, without needing to install protective devices such as flame guards.
The blowers have also been designed to function in an exterior flammable environment classified as zone 1 or 2. The blowers are certified (according to directive 94/9/CE) as category 2 or 3 equipment according to the European ATEX directive.
The blowers have been designed following the rules of safety construction, which ensure the elimination of potential sources of ignition, even if there are disturbances and frequent malfunctions.
The blowers are suitable for pumping/compressing a wide range of flammable gasses and vapors.
The temperature classification that applies to the category 2 or 3 ATEX-compliant blowers refers to the spontaneous combustion temperature of flammable materials that can be pumped/compressed, or that may be present in the external atmosphere.

Process Gas Blower packages

Hibon systems custom packages are designed to meet customer specifications and international codes and standards.
We offer you the know-how to evaluate and produce custom packages.
So, the packages can be personalized. 
It could include:
• drives,

• thermal insulation on casing and on silencer. 
There are also some package versions in direct coupling for using a VSD driver.

Quality control

Hibon is ISO 9001 certified.
Hibon applies to the process gas blowers a quality assurance plan. This level of requirement is stringency applying to all the suppliers of the components used in the final equipment.
HIBON ensures optimum quality through the skill of its employees and the performance of its production equipment.
We supply technical files. They could include specific tests, specific certificates on demand, and certification as ATEX zone 1 or Zone 2, and Gost R.
