Molecular Sieve Beds and Cryotraps
Molecular sieve beds and cryotraps are used frequently in tritium handling processes and other processes for drying gases, and trapping or removing impurities in inert gas streams.
- High temperatures through cryogenic temperatures.
- Low leakage.
- High cleanliness.
- Stainless steel.
- High quality VCR fittings.
- Ultra performance valves.
Molecular sieves are frequently used in tritium handling processes for drying inert process gas streams.
They are also known for their ability to hold or trap transported gases in inert gas streams at certain clearly defined temperatures.
The molecular sieve is also used in the cryotrap, a combination of coiled tubes and mol sieve beds to control the passage of certain gases through a body of molecular sieve. The molecular sieve can be used as a filter when used in combination with cryogenic cooling. For example, it can be effectively used to freeze moisture out of a gas stream and then to capture hydrogen or tritium from a helium stream.

Tyne designs and custom builds laboratory gloveboxes specific to the atmospheric and ergonomic requirements of the system to be contained. We specialize in gloveboxes designed for tritium handling systems where leak tightness and ease of accessibility is essential. Tyne's gloveboxes are designed for full integration into existing process systems.
Tyne's stack monitoring technology continuously monitors radioactive stack emissions including particulate, iodine and noble gas volumetric activities in nuclear facility discharge stacks, ventilation systems and operational areas. Used extensively in nuclear power stations, laboratories, fusion facilities and research centers.
Tyne's oxidizer technology converts organics containing tritium to tritiated water, making it easier to extract tritium for safe storage. Water containing tritium and other impurities is collected and purified, allowing for either long term storage or treatment by electrolysis in preparation for the full removal of tritium in a concentrator and isotopic separation system.
Removes tritium from titanium specimens retaining tritium on getterbeds for subsequent processing.
Molecular sieve beds and cryotraps are used frequently in tritium handling and similar applications. The cryogenic molecular sieve functions by drying gases and trapping or removing impurities in inert gas streams.
This low range, online radiation monitor was developed to continuously monitor radioactive particulate, iodine and noble gas volumetric activities in nuclear facility discharge stacks, ventilation systems and operational areas.
This system was designed by Tyne for the capture of tritium and carbon-14 from biological and environmental samples by pyrolysis followed by high temperature catalysis to THO and CO2. The evolved gases are captured in bubblers for THO capture followed by bubblers for CO2 capture. The resulting bubbler samples are analyzed using a laboratory liquid scintillation counter.
