Gas purification system

Application SIRCAL MP-2000

• Purification of argon or helium for spectral analysis
• Purification of argon or helium carrier gases for highly sensitive chromatographic analysis
• Purification of argon or helium for use as an inert gas medium
• Wherever pure inert gas is required

Benefits SIRCAL MP-2000

• A targeted inert gas purifier – reduces heavy contaminants to levels below 1 vpm
• Fast heat-up time – approximately 15 minutes
• Automatic temperature control system with thermocouples
• Immune to large fluctuations in ambient temperature and power supply
• Quick-connect, self-sealing gas connections
• Robust design
• Easy operation and maintenance, quick tube replacement
• Remote status indication and error notification
• Compared to competitive alternatives – long-term savings due to low replacement costs for cleaning tubes.

Method SIRCAL MP-2000

The inert gas passes through a titanium sponge-filled absorber tube. A chemical reaction at 680°C removes oxygen and nitrogen. A copper oxide-filled tube removes carbon monoxide, oxygen, and hydrocarbons at 450°C. The gas then passes through a molecular sieve desiccant tube, which operates at ambient temperature and removes moisture and carbon dioxide from the inert gas through physical adsorption.

The cleaning furnace is supplied ready for use. Simply connect to the local power supply, attach the gas cylinder, purge the pipes, turn on the power, and you’re ready to go!

The MP-2000’s modular design greatly simplifies operation, maintenance, and repair. As the absorber tubes and molecular sieve desiccant become contaminated, they must be replaced with new ones. The entire replacement process is quite simple and quick. The molecular sieve is regenerable.

The inert gas purification unit has a modular design, significantly simplifying maintenance and installation.

The gas purifier has an LCD display that provides complete information on the unit’s status, furnace operating time, and error messages. The furnace temperature does not decrease when temporarily disconnected from the power supply.

Rare gases are typically used to create an inert chemical environment for applications where the presence of molecular species (e.g., oxides, carbides, etc.) is undesirable.

This is especially critical in research applications such as arc/spark optical emission spectroscopy for metal and alloy analysis.

That’s why we strongly recommend our customers include the Sircal MP2000 argon purification furnace in their delivery package.

The Sircal MP2000 is an effective and reliable solution for inert gas purification!
