GUARDIAN MEMBRANE SEPARATORS

Many sample systems require zero liquid entrainment, and demand the sample not to be altered. A porous PTFE membrane, supported by a sintered stainless steel disc is at the heart of this unit. As a wet sample enters, the membrane only allows gas or vapor molecules to pass through while all liquids are stopped. Our series of membrane filters are uniquely designed to allow the operator quick and easy membrane service while providing high performance filtration. The body contains an integral mounting bracket along with the inlet, outlet, drain, and bypass connections. The threaded cap is user friendly with knurls and flats for optimum infield serviceability. No connections are broken to service the membrane disc.   Our second generation of GMS105 products also features an “Atomizer Plate” which spins the gas flow dropping much of the liquid mass out before contact is even made with the membrane. This rotation assists in keeping the membrane particle free too. We have further reduced the internal volume to minimize the sample lag time.

New “Pull Ring” to easily remove the plug & service the membrane.

Guardian Membranes are also offered with integral coalescing pre-filters. A 50C grade element is mounted before the membrane to remove most liquids and solids, thus providing longer membrane life. This integral package minimizes dead volume, panel space, and leak points. The combo units accept the same membrane kits as our standard Guardian units. Part numbers are specified at the bottom of the attached chart.   Our Model GMS170 takes the built-in coalescing filter one step further by inverting the complete assembly and making it easy to service by eliminating the need to break port connections. Here too we reduced internal volume for better conditioning results.

The GMS120/122 series utilizes the traditional T-type design, with a coalescing pre-filter built into the assembly, and the membrane mounted on top with a vertical exit point, which assists in keeping it clean.

A GMS205 / GMS 130 series is also offered which mimics the design features of the smaller GMS105 / GMS120 series. These units are meant for systems with higher flow rates (70 LPM) and dirtier streams. The larger membrane and coalescing filter obviously will provide longer service life based upon their physical size. However, these larger units should only be used where the smaller GMS105 series cannot handle the flow.

There are two standard grades available for use in low to high flow applications. The M1 (0.1 micron) is a low flow type membrane suitable for most liquids and the M2 (0.8 micron) is a high flow type recommended for higher surface tension liquids.
