Abstract
System for obtaining gas samples, which comprises at least one VOC trap suitable for separating volatile organic compounds from a gas to be treated, wherein the VOC trap is connected to at least one H2O trap suitable to separate H2O from the gas to be treated, wherein the H2O trap is connected to at least one CO2 trap suitable to capture CO2 from the gas to be treated, wherein the CO2 trap is connected to at least one reducer suitable to reduce nitrogen and/or sulfur oxides contained in the CO2 released by the CO2 trap. The present disclosure also relates to a method which can be carried out by such a system.

A system for obtaining gas samples, which comprises at least one VOC trap suitable to separate volatile organic compounds from a gas to be treated, wherein the VOC trap is connected to at least one H2O trap suitable to separate H2O from the gas to be treated, wherein the H2O trap is connected to at least one CO2 trap suitable to capture CO2 from the gas to be treated, wherein the CO2 trap comprises a container containing substances suitable for adsorbing and desorbing CO2, wherein the CO2 trap is provided with heating means for heating the adsorbing substances of the CO2 trap and releasing the CO2 captured by the CO2 trap, wherein the CO2 trap is connected to at least one reducer suitable to reduce nitrogen and/or sulphur oxides contained in the CO2 released by the CO2 trap, wherein the CO2 trap is connected to the reducer by means of at least one intermediate duct provided with at least one valve connected to an exhaust duct.
A method for obtaining gas samples, which comprises the following operative steps:
- at least one VOC trap separates volatile organic compounds from a gas to be treated;
- at least one H2O trap separates H2O from the gas to be treated;
- at least one CO2 trap captures CO2 from the gas to be treated;
- the gas to be treated, filtered by the VOC trap, the H2O trap and the CO2 trap, is released through an exhaust duct;
- the CO2 trap releases the captured CO2;
- at least one reducer reduces nitrogen and/or sulphur oxides contained in the CO2 released by the CO2 trap.
