Impurities In Specialty Gas

Impurities In Specialty Gas

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document is a technical brochure from AMETEK MOCON, Inc. detailing the detection and analysis of impurities in specialty gases, specifically focusing on beverage grade CO2 and ultra-pure gases. It highlights the use of gas chromatographs and hydrocarbon analyzers for part-per-billion detection levels.
Impurities in Beverage Grade CO2: Beverage grade CO2, derived from various industrial processes, can contain trace contaminants that affect health and flavor. The document describes the use of the BevAlert Total Sulfur GC to detect sulfur compounds at parts-per-billion levels. It also mentions the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as acetaldehyde, methanol, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes, using a dual column configuration to enhance accuracy and reduce analysis time.
Impurities in Ultra-Pure Gases: Ultra-pure gases are used in manufacturing and medical applications, and their purity is critical. The document outlines the use of high sensitivity photoionization detectors (HS-PID) and thermal conductivity detectors (TCD) for detecting impurities like helium, neon, and hydrogen in nitrogen. It emphasizes the importance of sulfur-free hydrogen for fuel cells to prevent catalyst poisoning.
Hydrocarbons in Ultra-Pure Gases: The Baseline® 9000 hydrocarbon analyzer is highlighted for its ability to continuously monitor hydrocarbons in ultra-pure gases. It uses a flame ionization detector (FID) and is available in various configurations to measure total hydrocarbons, methane/non-methane hydrocarbons, or CO/CO2/total hydrocarbons.
Custom Process GC Applications: AMETEK MOCON offers custom gas chromatograph applications tailored to specific detection needs, utilizing various detectors like PID, HS-PID, FID, or TCD. The document encourages contacting the company for bespoke solutions.
Certifications: MOCON, Inc. is ISO 9001:2015 certified, ensuring quality in their processes and products.

Impurities In Specialty Gas-2

Carbon dioxide (CO2) produced for the beverage industry is a product of numerous industrial processes such as combustion, fermentation, ammonia/hydrogen production, chemical and refinery operations, and natural processes. These sources, as well as the supply chain itselfv, can introduce trace contaminates into the CO2 that can pose health concerns or unwanted flavoring. The BevAlert Gas Chromatograph can be applicated to detect acetaldehyde, methanol, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes well below the recommended International Society of Beverage Technologists (ISBT) detection limits....

Impurities In Specialty Gas-3

Bulk gases and specialty blends are used for numerous manufacturing and medical purposes. Sources of these gases may be distillation of air, electrolysis, or as a byproduct of chemical production and each of these sources can result in certain impurities that can be harmful to health or production. As hydrogen based fuel cells become more widely adopted throughout various industries, ensuring sulfur free hydrogen is a must to avoid poisoning of the catalyst. The Baseline 9100 utilizing an HS-PID can detect very low level total sulfurs, by converting all sulfurs to hydrogen sulfide using a reduction...
