Model 200/1 Hydrocarbon
Analyzer -
FID Methane / Non Methane (NMHC), Oven Heated Hydrocarbon
Analyzer
The VIG Industries, Inc. Model 200/1 is a microprocessor
based, oven heated methane /
non methane (NMHC) hydrocarbon analyzer for high accuracy,
sensitivity and stability. The Model 200/1 measures methane and
non methane hydrocarbons at preset intervals. The VIG Model 200/1 uses one(1)
Flame Ionization Detector (FID) to obtain methane and non-methane hydrocarbon readings. A sample is fed to the analyzer via
an
internal heated pump. After the sample reaches the analyzer, a
portion of the sample is trapped and fed through a GC (gas chromatography)
column to separate
the methane from the total and is fed to the FID detector for analysis. As soon
as the methane is read, the remaining sample is back flushed
through the GC column and fed to the FID detector for analysis of the
non-methane component. The LCD display indicates the amount of methane and non-methane hydrocarbons.
The Model 200/1 utilizes one flame
ionization detector (FID). The detector, all sample lines, GC column and all solenoid
valves that come in contact with the sample are maintained in a
controlled, heated oven to prevent condensation, and to provide
reliable performance in the analysis of concentrations of wide
varieties of hydrocarbons in gaseous mixtures and in ambient air.
