2011- ESA Project- Extraction of specific
chemical contaminants in the air
Melissa more than 100 VOC at total 140 ppm We
selected as rapresentative of different classes
of compounds

• Ethanol
• Carbon disulfide
• Tetrahydrofuran
• 2-methyl-2-butene
• Iso-propylamine
• Toluene

Our Melissa simulator

• Simple
• No CO2 and H2O retaining
• Use of different adsorp.materials
• High break-through volumes
• No head pressure
• Two systems in parallel
• Easy releasing
• Easy regeneration
