Reactive Gas System
Since NOTOS will be highly devoted to Catalysis, in-situ processes and other dynamic characterization of materials, an integrated, user-friendly and versatile reactive gas system is under development.
The gas system is expected to be ready on mid-2022
The gas lines being considered are the following:
| Nr | Gas1 | Max Flow (ml/min) | P range (bar)2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hydrogen | 50 | Patm - 20 |
| 2 | CO | 50 | Patm - 20 |
| 3 | Methane, ethane, propane | 50 | Patm - 203 |
| 4 | Ethylene, propylene | 50 | Patm - 94 |
| 5 | He | 200 | Patm - 20 |
| 6 | Ar | 10 | Patm - 20 |
| 7 | CO2, N2 | 50 | Patm - 20 |
| 8 | Oxygen 20% | 50 | Patm - 20 |
| 95 | NO ≤ 2%; NO2 (+21% O2) ≤ 0.5%; N2O ≤ 36% |
50 | Patm - 5 |
| 105 | NH3 ≤ 8% | 50 | Patm - 5 |
1: For not dedicated gas lines, gas for calibration is indicated in bold letters. All dilutions are done in He.
2: No pressure control from Patm to 4bar. In a second stage of the gas system design it is planned to implement a back-pressure controler up to 80 bar.
3: Up to 6 bar for propane
4: Up to 8 bar for propylene
5: Gas for calibration: He

Capillary gas flow cell
We offer a capillary gas flow cell that has been designed and produced by ITQ with the participation of ALBA.
This equipment has been developed as part of the RTI2018-096399-A-I00 R&D project, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/ and “ERDF A way of making Europe”
For this cell:
- All gases are compatible except NH3
- Gas in continuous flow or in pulses (microvolumes)
- Atmosferic pressure only (tests at higher pressures ongoing)
- T from RT to 650ºC
- No capillary spinning
