Abstract
Various embodiments of a system and method for enriching a concentration of components of interest in an air flow are described. The system includes an apparatus for enriching a concentration of components of interest in an air flow. The apparatus includes a chamber and a tube having a tube wall made of a selectively permeable material positioned within the chamber. A first end of the tube is connected to the inlet port of the chamber and a second end of the tube is connected to the outlet port of the chamber. The selectively permeable material has a lower permeability to components of interest than to inert gases, and the selectively permeable material is non-reactive with components of interest. The apparatus is configured to receive a sample stream and the chamber is maintained at a chamber pressure that is different than a stream pressure of the sample stream.
