CompactGC4.0 – Reliable, fast, easy to use

The CompactGC4.0 from GAS stands out as the most versatile Compact GC on the market. When approaching gas analysis from a laboratory perspective, one would typically opt for a traditional “GC with valve-oven” due to its reliability. However, if you consider it through the lens of a process controller’s “need-for-speed,” the Compact GC becomes the clear favourite. For those seeking the best of both worlds, the new CompactGC4.0 is the ultimate choice.

 

Whether you’re involved in cutting-edge research or need a robust solution for routine analysis, the CompactGC4.0 stands out as a leader in the field of gas chromatography. Its ability to deliver rapid, accurate results ensures that you can depend on it for critical applications, enhancing the efficiency of your operations.

Key Features

Fast – CompactGC4.0 delivers results in seconds. Cycle time is equal to runtime; no additional flush or conditioning is needed. Isothermal and programmable column ovens are available with heating rate up to 500oC/min.

 

Simple – CompactGC4.0 is easy and user-friendly. Instrument control is conveniently integrated in Chromeleon or Openlab/EZChrom chromatography data systems.

 

Exchangeable columns – CompactGC4.0 uses standard available columns, which can be replaced by the user in minutes, using finger-tight couplings. High flexibility and low operational costs are provided in this way. Capillary, wide-bore and packed columns can be installed.

 

Versatile – CompactGC4.0 offers up to 4 independent analysis channels, with a range of detectors: TCD, FID, PDD, PFPD, PID, PED, MS and VUV LUMA.

Several options are available:

  • Backflush option for protecting the analysis column from high boiling components and shortening analysis time
  • Stream selection valve for analysing multiple sample streams
  • Sampling from a small volume at low pressure, by creating a vacuum in the sample path first
  • 4-20 mA analogue outputs

Due to the 19″ standard enclosure, several CompactGC’s can be placed in a cabinet combined with other analytical equipment or a dynamic calibrator unit.

Application Areas

Catalyst Screening / On-line analysis / Petro

Speed and Flexibility in High Throughput analysis: short run times for fast screening and easy column replacement when new experiments require it.

 

Biogas

Fast on-line analysis of Biogas. Optional channel available for low ppm Siloxanes (FID) or ppb Sulphur (PFPD).

 

Natural Gas Analyser

Natural Gas Analysers are available with various configurations on CompactGC. Optional channels are offered for low ppm H2 or sulphur components. Calorific Value / BTU calculation is also included.

 

Hydrocarbon analysis – Natural Gas, Hydrocarbon Processing Industries

Fast, single channel analysis of a wide range of hydrocarbons, using a temperature programmed column.

 

High Purity Analysis

Analysis of impurities in bulk gases by Pulsed Discharge Detector. Highly sensitive: low ppb detection limit.

 

Fermentation – Biotech – Online measurement

CompactGC is resistent against high water percentages, and is therefore very suitable for fermentation and biotech reactor experiments.

 

Low Sulphur

CompactGC with Pulsed Flame Photometric Detector: Selective analysis of low ppb Sulphur components.  Analysis without pre-concentration on a small footprint.

 

Air toxics, VOC, BTX, Low Sulphur with pre-concentrator module

ppb/ppt concentration levels are measured using the optional Thermal Desorption module.

Pre-packed traps with various (multibed) adsorbents are available to cover many applications.
