The Efficient Palladium Isotope Chromatograph (EPIC) is a rapid cycling, computer-operated displacement Chromatograph for the separation of hydrogen isotopes. EPIC incorporates several features that optimize product throughput and purity. This paper describes this palladium displacement Chromatograph, the operations with protium and deuterium, and the design modifications for operation with tritium.
