Abstract:
Accurate quantification using Detailed Hydrocarbon Analysis (DHA) means operation under the assumption of equimolar carbon response. DHA also requires additional calibration for oxygenated groups when present in the sample stream and can possibly lead to error if assumptions are made regarding response factor matching on the FID. The Polyarc® post column reactor provides true equimolar response via FID detection due to complete conversion of carbon molecules to methane. Thus, with the Polyarc®, relative response factors collapse to unity for all molecules, allowing for the quantification of molecules without the need for multiple standards or numerous calibrations inclusive of oxygenate and complex PONA analysis.
