SEMICON WEST/INTERSOLAR SHOWCASE
Gas Blending System
Blixer™, from SEMI-GAS® Systems (a division of Applied Energy Systems, Inc.) is a custom gas blender that provides a continuous flow of precisely blended gases. Blixer can be used to blend two component-forming gas mixtures, but can also be used to blend three, four or more gas components into uniform, controlled mixtures for use in the semiconductor, solar, research and development and other high purity markets. Each Blixer gas blender is engineered to meet application-specific requirements for flow, pressure, mixture percentage and blending accuracy. The gas mixture percentages can also be adjusted by the operator during use via the onboard touch screen interface. Blixer can support fluctuating usage and variable flow rates from multiple points, each with independent duty cycles. Blixer uses mass flow controllers to ensure a highly accurate mixture. An optional gas analyzer confirms mixture percentages and provides a control loop to further improve blending accuracy up to 1% of the minor gas component. Blending routines are completely automated. Blixer continuously monitors system performance and safety conditions. The blender will automatically send notifications or shut down if an alarm is triggered.
