September
2006:
RIX
has
shipped
eight
large
high-pressure
nitrogen
generation
systems
to
the
Naval
Air
Forces
(Navair).
These
systems
have
two
oil-free
compressors--one
for
feed
air
and
one
to
boost
to
5,000
psig--and
membranes
to
produce
99.5%
pure
nitrogen.
These
first
eight
are
part
of
a
larger
contract.
April
2004:
RIX
is
taking
an
active
role
in
the
developing
hydrogen
industry
by
supplying
both
high-pressure
and
low-pressure
oil-free
hydrogen
and
syn-gas
compressors.
RIX
shipped
compressors
last
year
from
3
HP
up
to
125
HP,
at
pressures
up
to
7,000
psig,
for
hydrogen
service,
and
a
number
of
recent
orders
are
currently
being
built.
Other
compressors
shipped
earlier
this
year
are
being
used
to
feed
reformers
producing
hydrogen.
Many
of
these
compressors
had
sealed
crankcases.
RIX
has
a
number
of
new
designs
that
offer
competitive
options
for
oil-free
and
high-pressure
hydrogen
and
natural
gas
service.
January
2003: RIX
introduced its helium version of the popular MicroBoost compressor
at the Divers Equipment Manufacturers Association (DEMA) show
in Las Vegas in October. Divers were impressed with the small
size and attractive price of this versatile compressor. Being
able to compress helium as well as oxygen means that divers
can make their own heliox mixtures. Also, since the compressor
will take suction pressures down to atmospheric the divers
can scavenge all the gas out of the supply cylinders and avoid
sending them back with residual helium and oxygen.
May
2002: RIX
Adds Chinese Representative.Working closely together, RIX
and Greatall Dynamic Equipment Company have teamed up to provide
oil-free compressors to China. Greatall, with offices in Beijing,
Shanghai, and Wuhan, will offer the full range of RIX compressors
for petrochemical applications, filling oxygen cylinders,
and many other requirements.Greatall will also provide spare
parts and equipment servicing for RIX installations.RIX is
pleased to welcome Greatall to the RIX team.
February 2002: RIX Featured
in CompressorTech Magazine. In an article titled "A Multitude of Niches"
RIX's unique position in the gas compressor marketplace is explained and examined.

November 2001: RIX Secures
Shipboard Air Compressor Contract from US Navy. RIX Industries was awarded a contract
to supply shipboard service air compressors to go aboard aircraft carriers. The RIX
compressor is the MARC-350, which is an oil-free screw compressor producing 135 psig
clean, dry air. A RIX membrane air drier was included in each of the packages.
September 2001: RIX
Ships Microboost Compressors for Oxygen Cylinder Filling. Finishing its development
program, RIX has launched the industry's first electric-motor-driven compressor for
very small cylinder fill requirements. The MicroBoost uses three stages of oil-free
compression to go to 2,200 psig (150 barg) and is used to fill oxygen or nitrogen
cylinders. With a with a ß HP motor, the MicroBoost is the smallest cylinder
filling compressor in RIX's extensive high-pressure compressor line.
