Total Hydrocarbon Analyzer

Overview

Ecotech are a provider of a wide variety of total hydrocarbon analyzers for the measurement of total hydrocarbons in the ambient air. These analyzers are based on Flame Ionization Detection (FID) and allow continuous, trouble free sampling of total hydrocarbons. These analyzers are designed to minimize operator time on-site through the following features:

  • Instrument menus and processes accessible remotely
  • Can perform all calibrations automatically
  • Automatically sends alarms when faults occur

Ecotech also supply analyzers for monitoring total hydrocarbons in stack/high concentration environments.

Applications

The monitoring of total hydrocarbons is of importance in a number of different application that include:

  • Scrubber and oxidiser efficiency
  • Carbon bed breakthrough detection
  • Industrial hygeine and safety monitoring
  • Fenceline monitoring around industrial sites
  • Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) monitoring

Measurement Theory

Ecotech supplies total hydrocarbon analyzers which use the Flame Ionization Detection (FID) principle for accurate and precise measurement of total hydrocarbons from 10 ppb to 100%.

The analyzer delivers a small portion of the sample gas to the detector flame. During the combustion process, organic or hydrocarbon-based gases in the sample are ionized then they are detected by the instrument and reported as a concentration.

The analyzer can be configured with internal components for single or multipoint analysis of non-condensing gas samples. A automatic calibration feature enhances the long-term analytical stability of the instrument and place the instrument well ahead of the competition in performance, automation, and configurability.
