Overview

The AELAB AQMS-100 Zero Air Generator delivers high-purity air with extremely low levels of hydrocarbons, moisture, and other trace contaminants. It is designed for laboratories, research centers, and air quality monitoring networks that require consistent, clean air sources for analytical precision. The AQMS-100 replaces bottled zero air systems, providing continuous operation and long-term cost efficiency for applications such as gas chromatography, environmental testing, and AQMS calibration.

⚙ Design & Construction

The AELAB AQMS-100 features a compact, lightweight enclosure that integrates a regenerative dryer with molecular sieve technology, catalytic oxidation, and high-performance scrubbers. These remove CO, SO₂, NOx, ozone, BTX compounds, and moisture from the air stream. An onboard dew point sensor provides real-time purity verification. The modular design enables easy installation on benchtops or within rack-mounted systems, ensuring stable performance even in high-humidity environments.

🔬 Working Principle / Testing Method

The AQMS-100 operates by compressing ambient air and processing it through a multi-stage purification path. First, a regenerative dryer equipped with molecular sieves removes water vapor to achieve a low dew point. The air then passes through catalytic converters and scrubbers that eliminate hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and ozone. A dew point sensor continuously monitors moisture content, while an integrated controller manages regeneration and performance status. This ensures the output meets zero air specifications suitable for analytical instruments.

💡 Key Advantages

• Ultra-pure output suitable for trace-level analytical applications.
• Regenerative dryer technology enables continuous operation with minimal maintenance.
• Integrated dew point monitoring for real-time quality assurance.
• Eliminates the recurring cost and logistical limitations of bottled zero air.
• Compact and lightweight construction for easy laboratory integration.
• Capable of removing hydrocarbons, CO, NOx, SO₂, and BTX contaminants.

🔗 Connectivity & Integration

The AELAB AQMS-100 supports remote monitoring and control of key functions through an optional communication interface. The system can be linked to laboratory data management software or automated calibration setups. Its consistent output pressure and stable flow rate allow direct integration with gas chromatographs, chemiluminescence analyzers, and continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS).
