Breakthrough Analyser (BTA), a Micromeritics Technology, enables accurate characterisation of adsorbent performance under process-relevant conditions. Combining Micromeritics’ trusted expertise in gas adsorption with its microreactor and pilot plant technology, the BTA delivers reliable, selective adsorption data for gas/vapor mixtures. The BTA is particularly valuable for researchers working in fields such as gas separation, storage and purification, carbon dioxide capture and energy storage.
BTA is configured with up to six precision mass flow controllers and patented blending valves, that ensure the precise control of both composition and flow rate, while minimising dead volume. The stainless-steel column can hold 0.05 to 2.5 grams of adsorbent. Automated sample activation up to 1050°C is possible with
the precise, rugged, and reliable resistance furnace.
Operating pressures are controlled from atmospheric to 30 bar while uniform temperature control of the entire system, up to 200°C, eliminates cold spots. The BTA secure door lock system ensures operator safety throughout the analysis.
Vapor generators can be added to the BTA to enable the use of important probe molecules such as water for experimental studies.
The BTA easily connects to commercially available Fourier Transform Infrared Analyser (FTIR) and Mass Spectrometer (MS) systems for gas identification and
quantification.
