Parallel GC for Complete Refinery Gas Analysis

Abstract:   An Agilent 7890A gas chromatograph configured with three parallel channels with simultaneous operation provides a complete, high-resolution analysis for refinery gas in six minutes. The system uses an optimized combination of several packed columns and PLOT alumina columns to allow fast separation of light hydrocarbons and permanent gases with the same oven temperature program. A third channel with TCD with nitrogen (or argon) carrier gas improves the hydrogen sensitivity and linearity. This application also shows the excellent performance for natural gas analysis.
