The Mini Gas Splitter: SCION Instruments’ Tool to Improve Analytical Accuracy

This application note discusses the SCION Instruments mini gas splitter and its ability to improve analytical accuracy. The importance of sulfur removal from various energy sources can be beneficial for many reasons, such as toxicity, corrosion and environmental pollution.


Toluene Methanolation - Case Study

Gas Chromatography can be used for online analysis to continuously monitor concentrations of toluene, methylbenzene, methanol, and other gas-phase species present in the reactor effluent.


Ammonia synthesis - Case Study

Gas Chromatography can be used for online analysis to continuously monitor the concentrations of ammonia, nitrogen, hydrogen, and potentially other gas-phase species such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and methane (CH4).


Analysis of Fatty Acids in Fish Oil Supplements using SCION GC-FID

The purpose of this study is to determine the Fatty Acid content in Fish Oil using a SCION Instruments 8500 GC with PTV injector, FID and specialist FAME column.


Propane Aromatization - Case Study

In propane aromatization studies, Gas Chromatography is employed to analyze the effluent from the reactor where propane is converted into aromatic hydrocarbons. The GC system is equipped with appropriate detectors to monitor the presence and concentration of benzene, toluene, xylenes, and other relevant compounds.


CO2 methanation - Case Study

Gas Chromatography can be used for online analysis to continuously monitor the concentrations of CO2, CH4, H2, and potentially other gas-phase species such as water vapor (H2O) and carbon monoxide (CO). The setup typically involves sampling the reactor effluent at regular intervals using an automated sampling system, followed by injection into the GC system for separation and detection. Advanced techniques such as multi-dimensional GC or GC coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) may also be utilized for enhanced separation and identification of trace components.


Toluene hydrogenation - Case Study 

Gas Chromatography can be used for online analysis to continuously monitor concentrations of toluene, methylcyclohexane, hydrogen, and potentially other gas-phase species such as methane and ethane. Automated sampling systems collect reactor effluent samples at regular intervals, which are then injected into the GC system for separation and detection. Advanced techniques like GC-MS may be utilized for enhanced specificity and identification of trace components, supporting comprehensive analysis of reaction kinetics and catalyst performance.


Import and Export of Chemicals EU/UK REACH Substance Identity Requirements

REACH stands for the registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals. It is a European regulation which dates from December 2006. Manufacturers and importers are required to gather information on their chemicals and then register that information in the European chemicals agency database.
