Adam R. Klempner has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Thermal desorption tube collection system and method
    Patent number: 11852617
    Abstract: A thermal desorption tube collection system uses a thermoelectric cooler to collect and concentrate gas samples. In some modes, the operation of the cooler is reversed to flow the concentrated sample directly into a separator such as a gas chromatography system. Components resolved in time by a thermal desorption separator accumulate in a sample cell and are analyzed by electromagnetic radiation-based spectroscopic techniques. Also presented are methods for analyzing biogas samples.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 27, 2022
    Date of Patent: December 26, 2023

  • MONITORING GAS IMPURITIES WITH TOTAL SULFUR DETECTION
    Publication number: 20230194419
    Abstract: A system and method for determining impurities in a beverage grade gas such as CO2 or N2 relies on FTIR gas analysis for measuring non-sulfur impurities as well as SO2. CO2% also can be determined. A multiplexer selects a sample gas from multiple gas samples. Conversion of reduced sulphur present in some impurities to SO2 is conducted in an oxidizing furnace. Climate control and measurements of oxygen gas impurities also can be provided.
