Model 8900 Gas Chromatograph: Total Sulfur In CO2

The BevAlert Model 8900 provides a total sulfur measurement for sulfur compounds in Carbon Dioxide. The measurement includes organic sulfides, Sulfur Dioxide, Carbonyl Sulfide, and Hydrogen Sulfide.

The instrument is utilized by Specialty Gas Manufacturers and the Food and Beverage Industry to monitor sulfur compounds in CO2 used in carbonated beverages.

The sample entering the GC is passed through a proprietary catalyst where sulfur containing compounds are reduced to Hydrogen Sulfide. The BevAlert Model 8900 employs a photoionization detector (PID) for detection of the H2S in the reduced sample stream. An analytical column with timed backflush to vent is used to strip off moisture and heavier gases. At sample injection, a fixed volume of sample is carried through the analytical column. The backflush is timed so that primarily the H2S elutes to the detector. Contaminants are then backflushed to vent.
