The Baseline® 9000 H Heated
Hydrocarbon Analyzer is a microprocessor based instrument designed for
continuous ambient or process hydrocarbon gas measurement in
environmental or industrial settings. The analyzer is configured for
single point analysis (with or without a sample pump) of samples heated
up to 376 °F (191 °C) for pre-filtered (< 10 microns) non-condensing
samples.
Detection limits down to < 0.1 ppm. User-programmable ranges from
10 ppm to 10% (propane) or 10 ppm to 50% (methane) are
factory-configured per the customer’s application to facilitate
installation and setup.
Using a Flame Ionization Detector (FID), AMETEK MOCON Baseline®
FlowGuard electronic control regulates the delivery of fuel, air, and a
small portion of the sample gas, to the FID. During the combustion
process, organic or hydrocarbon-based gases in the sample are ionized,
detected by the instrument, and then reported as a concentration. The
automatic calibration feature enhances the long-term analytical
stability of the
instrument.
All instrument parameters are reported clearly and continually
refreshed on a large, graphical LCD display. Using analog, digital, and
logic output communication capabilities, analytical information from the
analyzer can be acquired using an external PC and a simple
communications program such as Windows® HyperTerminal or the analyzer
can output binary or ASCII formats directly to a data acquisition system
or PLC. Every Baseline® 9000 H analyzer includes a AMETEK MOCON's free
PC utility 9000 Keeper used for storing and uploading multiple methods,
as well as sending configuration settings, directly to the analyzer.
