Trace Sulfur Analyzers
The ability to detect low-level amounts (parts per billion) of sulfur in many sample types is of vital importance to those in the food and beverage industry as well as to those where trace level of sulfur impurities in samples may result in substandard products. Typical examples of such analyses include:
- The quality control of bulk gases such as nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide
- The quality control in ethylene and propylene monomer used as raw materials for polymer fabrication.
- The fermentation of beer
- Carbonated beverage production
Arnel's family of Sulfur Analyzers are designed to analyze gas or liquid samples, plus address on-line sampling, calibration and plant operation. In addition to the Sulfur Chemiluminescence Detector (SCD) which is commonly utilized for trace sulfur compound analysis in liquid and pressurized liquid sample matrices, the Amperometric Sulfur Detector (ASD) is also utilized for trace sulfur compound analysis in gaseous sample matrices. Using the ASD, Sulfur detection in the range of 0.01 to 10.0 ppm can be achieved and provides an equimolar response to sulfur compounds. Both the SCD and the ASD require only a single calibrant, thus reducing its overall cost of operation versus other traditional detectors utilized for trace sulfur analysis.
Standard features on all of Arnel's trace sulfur analyzers include:
- Availability of Pneumatic Pressure Control (PPC) for more precise and automated gas flow
- Factory upgradeable for future expansion or system configuration changes
- Operation in automated batch plus on-line sampling modes
- Optional user interface software is available for push button plant operation.
