The Baseline® 9000 TCA Total Carbon Analyzer is a microprocessor-based instrument designed to measure total hydrocarbon content as well as provide a combined carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) reading for impurity detection at industrial and specialty gas companies.
Detection limits down to < 0.1 ppm. User-programmable ranges from 1 ppm to 100 ppm are factory-configured per the customer’s application to facilitate installation and setup.
This CO and CO2 gas analyzer uses a flame ionization detector (FID) in conjunction with a methanizing catalyst switched in and out of the sample stream. The catalyst converts CO and CO2 to methane to produce a total carbon reading. This catalytic reaction relies on the hydrogen (H2) in the fuel stream. The hydrocarbon only value is then subtracted from the total carbon concentration to determine the CO / CO2 reading.
