A sensing module of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) for separated adsorption machines has been developed. Conventionally, VOC purifying machines are very expensive because the adsorption process and detaching process are unified. So, factories using low cost VOC cannot introduce these machines, and VOC gas is released which pollutes our environment. Thus, we have proposed a separated VOC recovery system. In this system, the two processes are separated, and the detaching process is performed by other equipment. This reduces costs of factories, because they have the option of installing only adsorption machines. However, the capture capabilities of the adsorption machines must be monitored in order to minimize exchange times of the captured materials. Thus, we developed a VOC sensing module for our proposed system. As a result, the sensing module can detect the capture capabilities in the adsorption machine, and the foundations of this recovery system have been constructed.
