Gas Phase Oxygen (GPO) Blanketing
|
Where is it measured?
| • |
 |
In headspace of centrifuges in the ChemPharm and Chemical Industry |
Why is it measured?
| • |
|
Solvent vapors and traces of air are present in the gas phase of the centrifuge |
| • |
|
High O2 levels combined with the presence of solvents can lead to explosions |
| • |
|
Centrifuge is nitrogen purged (inertizated) to avoid explosive atmosphere |
| • |
|
O2 measurement controls LOC (safety) and controls amount of nitrogen (costs) to be purged |
