GRS: Gas Release System
The petroleum testing laboratories environment presents a number of risks inherent to the type of sample. The devices for the analysis of samples should ensure minimal risk conditions at work, a critical premise in the development of devices for this application in Ortoalresa.
Centrifugation processes for the determination of water and sediment in petroleum, require an organic solvent which, reacting with the sample and caloric intake of the equipment, generates aerosols. In order to remove this gas from the centrifuge and take it to a safe area, Ortoalresa has designed GRS (Gas Release System) as an accessory for all of the Digtor 22 C series centrifuges. This accessory creates inside the centrifuge chamber, concretely on its top, when locked, that allows the suction of the atmosphere high in aerosols. This atmosphere is piped through the GRS up to its exit, where it can be treated in isolation. The whole circuit is continuously monitored by the equipment, which will lead the right moment to operate the system. Moreover, it only requires the presence of a compressed air supply of 2 bar pressure, in order to create a 10l/min suction, sufficient to perform the suction of the centrifuge inside chamber volume every 5 min.
GRS main functions are:
- Decreasing gas concentration during operation, and therefore the risk of explosion.
- Eliminating the user’s health risk by inhalation of produced vapors
- Avoiding gas dispersion into laboratory environment.
