The meters are available along with a range of specialist filters that can measure the CO2 permeability of Carbon Capture membranes and also the permeability of the membrane to most other gasses including oxygen, hydrocarbons, nitrogen and water vapour.
The equipment can be supplied with an oven/ furnace as many Carbon Capture membranes are designed to work at high temperature. The furnaces can operate at up to 1100 C.
The equipment is highly accurate and easy to use with sensitivities in the PPM (parts per million) or PPB (parts per billion) range depending on the membrane and gas under test. The instrument can test material samples of the material as well as CO2 filter units.
Results can be achieved in as little as 30 minutes for some vapours, materials and conditions, the company says.
As well as manufacturing the instruments, Versaperm offers a vapour permeability laboratory and consultancy service for companies that need to test samples on an irregular basis.
