Sulfur Traces and Permanent Gas Analysis in Beverage Grade Carbon Dioxide

Analyzer Description

Configuration:

SCD, PDHID, cryogenic cooling, onboard vaporizer, 3-valves, 3-capillary columns

Sample type:

Beverage grade carbon dioxide, gas or liquid

Compounds Separated:

  • argon
  • nitrogen
  • carbon monoxide
  • methane
  • hydrogen sulfide
  • carbonyl sulfide
  • sulfur dioxide
  • ethyl mercaptan
  • dimethyl sulfide
  • carbon disulfide
  • isopropyl mercaptan
  • ethyl methyl mercaptan
  • butyl mercaptan
  • isobutyl mercaptan
  • diethyl mercaptan
  • dimethyl disulfide
  • 2-methylthiophene

  • total sulfur by summation

Any additional sulfurs up to a boiling point of 240°C will be detected if present in the sample.

Lower detection limits:

2 ppm for permanent gases

0.10 ppm for sulfur dioxide

0.03 ppm for sulfurs and mercaptans

Methods met:

ISBT 4.0, ISBT 10.1, ISBT 14.0

Key Features and Benefits

  • Oxygen will be detected but will not be quantified. For accurate oxygen analysis an external oxygen sensor is required.
  • Fused silica lined tubing protects sample integrity.
  • Internally purged diaphragm valves ensure no air contamination and the lowest detection limits possible.
  • On-board vaporizer converts liquid carbon dioxide to gas phase prior to injection for more repeatable analysis.
  • Can be configured for both liquid and gas sample analysis.
