- the detector in each gas chromatograph is used to detect or analyze the sample in the carrier gas.
- the recycle system optionally and preferably, employs a separate detector for the carrier gas normally vented, or as collected in the carrier gas manifold, for the purposes of determining if the carrier gas to be recycled is heavily contaminated with contaminants which would interfere with the recycle system, place too great a purification burden on the system, can not be adequately purified or handled by the recycle system, or would be undesirable or expensive to recycle or any combination thereof.
- the detector would detect the carrier gas normally vented and not duplicate the detection function of the usual detector of the sample-carrier gas.
- the recycle system is designed to recycle and process only the carrier gas uncontaminated by the sample used.
- the detector may comprise a variety of detectors alone, or in combination, such as, thermocouple detector (TCD) , flame ionization detector (FID), electrochemical cell, infrared, ultraviolet, geiger counter, or other detector devices.
- TCD thermocouple detector
- FID flame ionization detector
- electrochemical cell infrared, ultraviolet, geiger counter, or other detector devices.
- the detector is employed in combination with a vent, so that when a heavily contaminated carrier gas is detected, the heavily contaminated carrier gas may be removed from the recycle system, such as by venting to the atmosphere, as mainly done, or directed to another process or system.
- a heavily contaminated carrier gas may include a carrier gas with large amounts of organic, e.g., hydrocarbon compounds or mixtures, water vapor, and very minor amounts of radioisotopes or toxic materials.
- the detector-vent may include a detector which sends an electrical signal to a solenoid-type vent valve. The detector-vent device may be used with each separate instrument and with
- the system would include a gas delivery manifold means to introduce the selected gas or gas mixture into the analytical devices.
- the system optionally also would include a gas-receiving manifold to receive the vented gas discharged from the instruments; and to provide a vented, collected gas stream, typically, the gas stream contaminated with the sample, water vapor, and various other chemicals or combinations; such as organic compounds, like light and heavy hydrocarbons, sulfur, phosphorous, nitrogen; and halogens such as chlorine, and various combinations thereof, developed by and during the use of the instrument or associated with the sample and the sample being detected.
- the system may include a flow stabilizer to receive the manifold vented gas and to prevent the development of gas back pressure on the gas receiving manifold, and on the analytical instruments, which might interfere with the operation of the analytical instruments.
- the flow stabilizer may comprise a variety of devices, for example, a bellows-type apparatus together with a pressure limit switch, which limit switch on the operation of the bellows, by excess pressure, activates the subsequent gas compression if the gas back pressure increases beyond a desirable amount.
- a flow stabilizer may also be usefully employed after the gas compressor in the system.
- the system would include a gas purifier means which may comprise one or a plurality of serially aligned, selected modules to remove contaminants from the flow stabilized, vented gas for introduction into the gas compressor.
- a gas purifier means which may comprise one or a plurality of serially aligned, selected modules to remove contaminants from the flow stabilized, vented gas for introduction into the gas compressor.
- a multiple stage purifying module would have the capability of removing high amounts, for example 99% or greater of trace amounts of most chemical analytes, for example, to absorb water vapor and would include a final purifying module for the vented, flow stabilized gas stream.
- Purifying modules would include means for scrubbing out oxygen and removing organic matter related to the sample, or carbon adsorption, or molecular sieve adsorption for water vapor, employment of membranes, e.g., hollow fiber membranes, to separate contaminants or the use of catalytic oxidation or other catalytic or cryogenic, absorption or adsorption purifying processes and techniques to provide for a gas stream of selected purity.
- membranes e.g., hollow fiber membranes
- Other purifying modules useful to remove specific gas phase contaminants would include; but not be limited to, pressure swing adsorption and filters, such as glass fiber resin impregnated tublular filters of 0.01 to 10 microns capture, and membranes to remove particulate matter from the collected, contaminated carrier gas.
- the purifying modules may be used alone or in any combination to provide a collected carrier gas or recycle gas of selected purity for reuse.
- the system includes a gas compressor to receive the flow stabilized, purified, vented gas stream and to compress the gas stream, such as helium, to the desired pressure for reuse in the analytical instrument(s) .
- the gas compressor for use with helium would include a helium tight sealed- containment compression-type device providing for a compressed hydrogen or helium.
- the system may optionally also include a flow stabilizer after the gas compressor module for pressure control purposes.
- the system includes a switch-over regulator and modulator, typically an automatic switch-over regulator module, which is connected to a separate or independent source of the gas or gas mixture to be employed in the analytical instrument, such as, for example, a compressed helium gas tank.
- the compressed gas tank would supply make-up gas, which is make-up helium gas, into the close-loop recycle system as described. This system would capture and recycle not all of the gas introduced into the instrument, so make-up gas would be required from time to time.
- the regulator module would comprise a gas reservoir, with the gas pressure of the reservoir monitored and integrated to an automatic changeover gas regulator assembly, including a separate source , such as a tank of gas for make-up purposes, which is a compressed helium cylinder connected to changeover regulator.
- the automatic switch-over regulator modulator means would control the carrier gas supply source for the analytical instrument in the recycled system. Generally, it would operate automatically depending on carrier gas demands .
- the recycled, purified, compressed gas from the gas compressor module , and/or the tank gas , make-up gas may be recycled through another purifying module as required, and then delivered to the gas delivery manifold, thus providing for a close-loop recycle system and method, by which previously vented gas from an analytical gas-type instrument may be collected, flow stabilized, purified, compressed and automatically redelivered with make-up gas as required back into the instrument.
- recycle system and method as described and illustrated is suitable for employment with single or multiple devices, such as, single or multiple gas chromatographic applications.
- the recycle system and method may be employed usefully with other instruments used for the detection, analysis. separation or other process where high amounts of carrier gas are vented and are desired to be recovered for reuse in a closed-loop recycle system.
- An instrument employing argon as a carrier gas would include an inductively coupled plasma (an atomic absorption device) .
- carrier gas is not limited to a gas which only carries or transports a sample, but rather, generically to refer to all types of inert gases desired to be recovered, usually having economic value, but normally discharged at high flow rates or larger quantities to the atmosphere.
- the carrier gas in a gas chromatograph would not include the carrier gas employed with the actual sample to be analyzed, due to contamination and the small amount of carrier gas involved.
- the system is particularly suitable for a gas chromatograph (GC) with capillary column and split injection or with packed columns and non-FID detectors, since the system will take the helium both from the split and purge ports.
- GC gas chromatograph
- the contaminated helium carrier gas for sample injection will pass through a multiple stage purifying module and through the system, remove contaminants to be recompressed, and repurify the helium gas made up with additional helium gas, and reintroduce it into the system.
- the system is particularly useful for either ordinary gas chromatography or in all of the gases employed as a carrier gas to a detector, or more particularly to a split-flow gas chromatograph pulling a higher flow of carrier gas to transport the sample; but with only a small portion of the carrier gas with a sample diverted to the detector, while a large percentage, 80 to 90 percent, of the carrier transport gas is then vented into the atmosphere.
- the vented gas may then be collected and recycled for reuse at a considerable savings.
- the system and method comprises a plurality of gas chromatographs employing helium as a carrier gas, and wherein a substantial portion of the helium carrier gas is normally vented to the atmosphere.
- the system includes a flow stabilizer means to receive the vented gas and to prevent back pressure of the gas from interfering with the operation of the gas chromatograph; a purifying means to purify contaminants from the flow stabilized carrier gas; a helium compression, means to compress the helium to the desired pressure for reuse in the gas chromatograph; and optionally, a flow stabilizer means to then stabilize the compressed helium gas ; an automatic switch-over regulator module means regulating the supply of the recompressed, recycled helium carrier gas, together with a source of a helium make-up tank to provide a selected amount of recycled and make-up helium gas back into the gas chromatograph; and optionally, employing a purifying module means to further purify the gas before introducing it as the carrier gas into the gas chromatograph.
- the invention
- the drawing comprises a schematic illustration of a helium recovery, recycle system of the invention.
- a system is illustrated in the schematic illustration of the drawing which is a recycle system 10, which includes a plurality of gas chromatographs (GC) as gas analyzing instruments 12, a purity detector and vent 13 for each GC, a gas receiving manifold 14 to collect the 80 to 90 percent or greater of the helium carrier gas normally vented to atmosphere, and to transport the gas to a flow stabilizer I 16 to prevent back pressure from the collected gas from interfering with the instruments 12.
- the system includes a purifying module I 18, which removes contaminants and water vapor from the flow-stabilized helium carrier gas, with the gas then sent to a helium compression pump 20 for compression to the desired pressure level.
- the compressed helium is then optionally sent to a further flow stabilizer II 22, and then to an automatic switch-over regulator module 24 which controls the amount of recycled and make-up gas from make-up helium tank 26, wherein the recycled gas, the make-up gas, and the recycled recompressed gas is optionally then sent through a further purifying module II 28, and then delivered to a gas delivery manifold 30 where it is sent to the selected instruments 12.
- purifying module I and II are shown; however, it is recognized that the collected carrier gas, or the mixture of the recycled carrier gas, may be purified either before or after the compression, or as illustrated, both before and after the compression of the carrier gas, or anywhere in the system.
- the recycle system as described is particularly useful where large amounts of gas are not to be used or to be vented to the atmosphere, particularly where the gas employed is expensive and not easily resupplied, such as in the case of hydrogen, helium, argon, neon, or other gases or mixture thereof, in particular, helium or argon gases, when used in sample detection or gas-using systems.
