February 2007 - Polysilicon plant compressors
PPI has recently been awarded several orders for gases related to the manufacture of Polysilicon. These orders have included multiple quantities of very large diaphragm gas compressors. The gases to be compressed for these projects include Hydrogen, Hydrogen Chloride, and chlorosilane gases such as Trichlorosilane, and Disilane. These gases are used in the production of polysilane crystals. Polysilane crystals are used in the manufacture of amorphous silicon films for photovoltaic (PV) cells (also called solar cells), xerographic photoreceptors, and thin film transistors.

January 2004 - NEW! PPI introduces new B-Series diaphragm compressors
PPI is pleased to introduce our new B-Series diaphragm compressors. The new B-Series diaphragm compressor extends PPI's capabilities into smaller fractional flow rate capacities. The new B-Series diaphragm compressor is a completely enclosed unit with all utility and process connections terminating at bulkhead connections in the enclosure. Flow rates of the new B-Series diaphragm compressors range from 0.008 cfm (0.014 m3/h) to 0.68 cfm (1.16 m3/h) with discharge pressure ratings from 160 psi (11 bar) to 6000 psi (415 bar). The compressor is powered by a 1 HP (0.75 (kW). Overall size of the enclosed compressor is 16 1/4" (410 mm) W x 25 1/2" (647 mm) L x 18 3/4" (470 mm) H. PPI B-Series diaphragm compressors are ideally suited for use in non-contaminating, leak-tight gas compression applications such as Hydrogen, Fluorine, TFE, Helium, NF3, Argon, CNG, Nitrogen, Oxygen, CO, and many other hazardous or high purity gas requirements.
