Compact, versatile breakthrough adsorption system – characterization of adsorbents under flow, process-relevant conditions

 

  • Dynamic (flow) adsorption – easy measurement of multi-component gas mixtures, adsorbate selectivity and simulation of process conditions
  • Up to 6 mass flow controllers and 2 vapor sources, patented mixing valves with minimal dead volume
  • Column made of electropolished 316 SS stainless steel, 0.05-2.5 g of adsorbent; furnace up to 1050°C
  • Thermostated chamber up to 200°C prevents vapor condensation; automatic safety door lock
