Industrial gases often sold in bulk are used in many applications ranging from food, pharmaceutical, chemical, semi-conductors, etc. Many of these gases can be produced from a variety of sources resulting in a wide array of possible contaminants. Depending on the application, the analysis of the impurities is critical. Having the wrong impurities or too much of an impurity can render the gas unfit for a given application. Agilent provides a family of factory tested – ready to use GC analyzers for analysis of bulk gases. Whether you select from one of our standard configurations or require a custom analyzer, Agilent will consult with you to define the solution that is right for you.

Permanent gases such as CO, CO2, O2, N2, and methane are common analytes in refinery gases, natural gas, fuel cell gases, and many other industrial processes. Understanding the concentration of these components can be very important for controlling manufacturing processes, and impact the quality and commercial value of end products. Impurities such as CO and CO2 in feedstocks can be deleterious to certain catalysts resulting in disruption and increased cost of production. Agilent provides a family of factory tested – ready to use GC analyzers for analysis of permanent gases. Select from standard or custom analyzer configurations to find a system to address your specific analytical requirements.

The production of polymers requires high-purity 99.9+% (polymer-grade) monomers. Ethylene and propylene are commonly used as feed stocks for production of polyethylene, polypropylene, and other chemicals. These polymer-grade monomers usually contain low levels of other hydrocarbons, sulfur compounds, and other impurities that can reduce catalyst lifetime, affect product quality, and impact process yields. Agilent provides a family of factory tested – ready to use GC analyzers for the analysis of impurities in ethylene and propylene samples using FPD, FID, PDHID as well as MSD detectors and combinations thereof. Whether you select from one of our turnkey configurations or require a custom analyzer, Agilent will consult with you to define the right solution.

The analysis of sulfur-containing compounds and nitrosamines at low concentrations is a critical step in quality control and assurance throughout the energy and chemical industry. Ubiquitous in refinery and petrochemical products, sulfur containing hydrocarbons and contaminants in concentrations as low as parts-per-billion (ppb) can corrode hardware, and permanently poison expensive catalysts used in downstream processes.

To help manufacturers monitor their processes Agilent Technologies produces a series of Sulfur and Nitrosamine Analyzers that incorporate selective, sensitive detectors to reliably detect trace level contamination. Choose from standard configurations as well as custom analyzers designed to meet your specific quality assurance requirements.
