Perma Pure’s Ammonia Scrubbers Earn CE Mark

Protect analyzers from ammonium salt formation
Toms River, NJ (January 16, 2009) – Leading gas conditioning products manufacturer Perma Pure has obtained CE certification for its AS™-Series ammonia scrubbers, certifying that they meet EU health, safety, and environmental requirements. 

CE Ammonia 

The AS-Series ammonia scrubbers selectively remove ammonia from sample gas streams under analysis.  By preventing the formation of ammonium salts, downstream analyzers and components are protected from damage and clogs.  The ammonia scrubber can operate as a stand-alone product or as an accessory to a CEMS system.  For sample streams with higher dew points, a heated ammonia scrubber is available to inhibit condensation.

The scrubbers were tested and certified through an independent audit by TÜV SÜD America Inc. as compliant with IEC 61010 – 1 : 2001 (2nd Edition); EN 61010 – 1 : 2001 (2nd Edition).  These standards relate to safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use.

Selectivity

Nafion is not only highly resistant to chemical attack, it also exhibits highly selective absorption and transfer of compounds. Most substances are retained quantitatively. Although they do not attack or damage the Nafion tubing, some polar organic substances are absorbed and consequently lost. Ammonia and amines are also absorbed and lost to some degree.
