Balston Filtration and Gas Generation SystemsClean Compressed Air and Gases for Contaminant-Free ApplicationsParker Hannifin Corporation,the global leader in motionand control technology,delivers an unmatched breadthof engineered products andsolutions. Parker’s BalstonOperation, a unit of the ParkerFiltration and Separation Division,delivers a complete line ofcompressed air and gas filters andgas generation systems. BalstonInc. was established in 1970 toproduce and market a unique filterdesign that set the standard forcoalescing filters. In 1979, Balstonintroduced the first gas generatorfor laboratory use. In 2000,Balston was acquired by ParkerHannifin Corporation and, since2000, has been an integral unitParker’s Motion and Control Technologies:AerospaceClimate ControlElectromechanicalFiltrationFluid & Gas HandlingHydraulicsPneumaticsProcess ControlSealing & Shieldingof the Filtration and SeparationDivision.For over three decades the Balstonbrand has been the recogniziedleader in filtration, purificationand gas generation technology.All Parker Balston productsare supported by a staff ofhighly trained sales and servicespecialists and are manufacturedwithin strict guidelines of a totalquality management program.
