Abstract:
Fast gas chromatography has been deployed “from the winery to the refinery to the wellhead” as previously reported at GCC. The value of rapid response has been demonstrated in the lab, at-line, online and even by the roadside. However, recent applications expand the technology even more to include product purity at the 99.99% plus levels. Environmental applications using both direct injection and pre-concentration trapping have been used to achieve limits of detection downwards from the parts per million level to parts per billion and even parts per trillion. Also, demand for higher resolution capability have been met with longer column possibilities up to 16 meters for a total of 32 meters with two modules. This paper will be a visual overview of the expanded capabilities of fast GC since Gulf Coast Conference 2016.
