Total Hydrocarbon Analyzer
The Baseline® Series 9000 is the candidate of choice whenever accurate, reliable total hydrocarbon analysis is required. The Series 9000 analyzer provides unparalleled flexibility and offers continuous, fully automated gas analysis over a broad range of concentrations.
The 9000 has a dynamic range from less than 10 ppb on the low range version and up to 100% as methane on the high range version. The analyzer has a generous complement of analog, digital and logic output capabilities.
Applications
The Series 9000 is designed to continuously monitor the total hydrocarbon content of non-condensing gases in a variety of applications, such as:
- Beverage grade CO2 analysis
- Scrubber & oxidizer efficiency
- Carbon bed breakthrough detection
- Contaminant analysis in pure/ultrapure inert gases
- Well logging
- Industrial hygiene & safety monitoring
- Fenceline (perimeter) monitoring around industrial sites
- LEL monitoring
