About this file
This document is a Salient Characteristics Template for a Hydrogen Gas Palladium-based Purifier solicitation from the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL). The requirement is for one (1) hydrogen gas purifier with 16 specific technical characteristics, including a palladium membrane purifier with unlimited lifetime, hydrogen purity requirements of 99.99% at inlet and 99.9999999% at outlet, a typical flow rate of 20 standard liters per minute, and specific technical features like automatic nitrogen purge, outlet check valve, and closed loop temperature control. The purifier must operate at 120 VAC, have a maximum volume of 4100 cubic inches, and include one year of preventative maintenance. The delivery destination is specified as the ARL Shipping & Receiving at 2800 Powder Mill Road, Adelphi, MD 20783-1138, with a Free on Board (FOB) shipping method. The document is signed by the Contracting Officer Zachary Dowling with a contract date of 11/24/2025.
