Tronic Purity’s GETTRON® line implements getters, which consist of zirconium alloys in the form of porous pellets that come in a myriad of sizes, as the main adsorption mechanism. The GETTRON® series, like many getter purifiers, is a heat-induced model that typically operates at around 300-400℃, depending on the targeted gas and impurities.

Zirconium (Zr) alloys that contain aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), and vanadium (V) have been used for gas purification for over 40 years. These alloys have great reactivity with a broad range of gas species, such as H₂O, O₂, CO, CO₂, N₂ and CH₄. Heat plays a fundamental role in the overall reaction. The chemical equations shown below occur on the surface of the getter pellets, and the reaction products then diffuse into the core of the getter alloys, clearing up fresh surfaces so that adsorption can be reactivated continuously.

The GETTRON® purifiers have incorporated this long-standing technology with an operator-friendly human-machine interface, bringing our clients a trusty solution to handle various challenging tasks.
