CompassCDS Plugin

Reporting Software for the Hydrocarbon Processing Industry (HPI)

The SCION Instruments Eclipse SIMDIS Software Plug-in automates the data processing and reporting of Gas Chromatography analytical results for petroleum samples ranging from gases up to and including crude oil for DHA, Simdist and Gas Calculation applications.  This software is used with CompassCDS to create the required DHA, SimDist, Gas Calculation and FAME reports.

The example below shows a chromatogram using the Compass Eclipse software plug in, with combined Retention time vs boiling point curve. Eclipse makes it possible to easily obtain the boiling range distribution with different standardized methods, shown in the right handed column of the figure. Learn more about this application.
