Customization for the Sorbent Traps

All Ohio Lumex Sorbent Traps can be customized to fit the conditions of the source perfectly. We can add an Acid Gas Scrubber to any sorbent trap if the source has high Acid Gases, SO₂, or SO₃. We can create a special 3^rd section to be extra spike retentive if the stack temperature is higher or acid gases are present. In these cases we can also create a special 1^st section to be breakthrough resistant. For wet stacks we can build your trap to be moisture resistant in order to keep the sorbent completely dry during the testing. For clients who have high particulate in their stacks, to prevent traps from plugging up in a few days we can add a coiled particulate pre-filter inside of the traps in order to increase the surface area of the first plug.

Customizations for Appendix K and Method 30B Sorbent Traps for special stack conditions

Name of Customization	Description	Use of the trap	Color of end-caps
Acid Gas Scrubber (can be added to any trap)	A section placed before the first sorbent bed. This section is analyzed like a plug and added to the first section.	This section is used at sources with high acid gases in the flue gas. When you see breakthrough or spike loss on the traps, it is worthwhile to try this added section.	Green end-cap is added when this section is on the trap.
Special 3^rd section for extra spike retention	A special 3rd section can be made for the long term Appendix K traps in order to get the client to go to 7 days. The section has a stronger carbon and it is longer than standard carbon sections.	This section is used at sources with high acid gases or high temperatures where spike loss is still an issue. It can increase client's time from 3-4 days to 6-7 days.	N/A
Special 1^st section for extra hold against breakthrough	A special 1st section can be made for the long term Appendix K traps in order to get the client to go to 7 days. The section has a stronger carbon and it is longer than standard carbon sections.	This section is used at sources with high acid gases or high temperatures where breakthrough is still an issue. It can increase client's time from 3-4 days to 6-7 days.	N/A
Sorbent trap made to be Moisture Resistant	Any trap can be made with a special extra long glass. In wet sources, the extra length of the glass allows for more space for the moisture to evaporate before it hits the sorbent beds. This way the sorbent remains dry.	This traps is necessary for stacks that have very high levels of moisture and the client is afraid of direct moisture entrainment wetting the sorbent beds.	N/A
Coiled Prefilter	Any trap can be made with a coiled prefilter placed inside of the trap before the first plug. The prefilter increases the surface area of the front plug and allows the particulate to evenly distribute itself along the prefilter instead of plugging up the first plug.	This trap is necessary for stacks that have very high levels of particulate which plug up the trap after a few days. For sources with high particulate this allows the client to go from just a few days before the trap plugs up to 6-7 days.	White end-cap is added
Speciation sorbent trap unspiked	Extra long, durable glass, activated iodinated carbon, individual ID, 2 types of sorbent. All traps come with an Acid Gas Scrubber.	This trap is used with a cooling probe if source temperature is above 100 C. First sorbent captures oxidized Hg, and the second captures elemental Hg	Red and Green
