Gulf Coast Conference

New Product Showcase

The Gulf Coast Conference will sponsor a New Product Showcase to provide a forum for the introduction of new technology and innovation to our attendees. On Tuesday and Wednesday of the meeting from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM there will be special table top displays with new products and technology for your examination. Several vendors will provide these products and personnel to describe them during these specific times in the convention center lunch area.

We are asking all Attendees to stop by and take a look at these products and complete an opinion survey about what you see. One survey will be drawn on Wednesday evening from the completed surveys and that person will receive a LIFETIME registration to the Gulf Coast Conference!

The GCC will appreciate your participation, and we know that the participating vendors will as well!

Listed below are the participating exhibitors.

Shell Global Solutions developed in close cooperation with Da Vinci Europe laboratory a new GC injector what injects under high pressure directly on-column without the use of a vaporizer, transfer line or valve. This new injector prevents any discrimination and/or fractionation, and is therefore a solution for analysis of oily residues in LPG. The GC analysis result is an accurate quantification of the contamination on ppm level and it indicates the source of the contamination. This is a great step forward compared to the current ASTM “stain” method.

The GC injector is based on a part from the automotive industry: the “gasoline direct injector”. This part has proven its robustness for years in almost all brands of cars. The “gasoline direct injector” injects the pressurized LPG during 50 ms direct on-column. The major part of the LPG is vented and the oily residue is separated by boiling point. This method does not require any open air evaporation of LPG, and is therefore a safe analytical method.
