On Friday July 31 a regeneration of the glovebox was started.

Initial 02 = 130 ppm

Initial H20= 1.9 ppm

The Argon gas level was 1200 psi

The regeneration was finished on August 01, 2020. 

The 02 level (not accurate as stated in the manual) was p 137 ppm.

The H20 level was 8.9 ppm and not considered accurate as the system needs time to reach equilibrium.

The final 02 level was 7.0 ppm and recorded on August 05, 2020.  The final moisture levels were recorded to be 1.9 ppm.

The regeneration was successful and it was concluded that the catalyst is active enough so that it does not need to be replaced.
