Adaptable flask for gas treatment

Adaptable flask for gas treatment: washing flask and gas trap

Scharlau by Afora has introduced an adaptable flask for gas treatment that combines a gas washing flask and gas trap. This innovative design optimises gas neutralisation and vapour capture, offering an efficient all-in-one solution for various gas handling applications in chemical, industrial, and environmental labs.

Dual functionality in a single device

1. Gas washing flask: Featuring an optional diffuser, the flask enhances the interaction surface area between gas and reactive liquid, ensuring effective neutralisation or purification. It is specifically designed for processes that require impurity removal or gas humidification, thus maximizing phase interaction.
2. Gas trap: Incorporating an adjustable inner tube for height regulation, it optimizes the capture of vapours or condensates tailored to specific process requirements. This feature improves gas capture efficiency by managing the depth of contact with the absorbent liquid, accommodating various volumes and operational conditions.

Features of the adaptable flask for gas treatment

• Adaptability: The modular system enables users to switch between washing flask and gas trap functions by adjusting its components. This versatility supports various samples and applications without requiring additional equipment.
• High-quality material: Constructed from borosilicate glass 3.3, the flask resists corrosive chemicals and remains stable under extreme temperatures, ensuring durability and reliability.
• Safe and practical design: Standardised, detachable connections facilitate cleaning and maintenance. Its ergonomic design reduces handling risks and allows for quick assembly in laboratory systems.

Applications of the adaptable flask for gas treatment

• Purification and neutralisation of gases: As a washing flask, it removes impurities.
• Capture of unwanted vapours: Its gas trap function protects equipment and prevents contamination in laboratory systems.
• Combined processes: Suitable for laboratories that aim to integrate multiple functions into one piece of equipment.
