Description
Breakthrough Analysis (BTA) is a sorption technique for determining breakthrough curves, tracking how a sorbent material interacts and captures vapors/gases over time. It reveals key adsorption insights, including breakthrough times, saturations points, and equilibrium data.
The BTA Frontier revolutionizes sorbent testing with its cutting-edge packed bed breakthrough analysis, delivering unmatched precision in real-world process conditions. Engineered for versatility, it accurately measures competitive adsorption with a wide range of gases and vapors across multiple sample types.
By seamlessly mixing single or multi-component adsorbate streams and passing them through a packed sample column, the BTA Frontier quantifies retention of the component. This allows crucial sample properties and process-relevant key performance indicators to be determined.
User-friendly and efficient, it features advanced sensors for CO2, H2O, organic vapors, and a thermal conductivity detector (TCD) with an optional mass spectrometer. Purpose-built for precise gas-phase mixing, adsorbate detection, temperature, and flow control, the BTA Frontier ensures unmatched accuracy and confidence in your results.
Key Features:
- Conduct single or multi-component sorption, sample regeneration, and cycling experiments.
- Analyze true multi-component sorption, assessing the uptake of one gas/vapor (e.g., CO2, VOCs) in the presence of another (e.g., water, N2).
- Utilize independent control over a wide range of gas/vapor concentrations.
- Generate uniform gas mixtures for accurate testing across different materials.
- Measure VOCs from ppb to high %, and CO2 from ppm to high %, with fast sample loading and changing.
- Parallel activation in two columns for increased throughput. Accommodate samples masses from 30 to 3000 mg and a range of sample morphologies.
Main Applications:
- Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage
- Material Characterization
- VOC Capture & Remediation
- Adsorbent Process Scale-up
