Abstract:

There is no technique better for analysis sulfur compounds than gas chromatography with sulfur chemiluminescence detection (GC-SCD). It couples the separations capability of GC with a highly specific sulfur detector, enabling ppb-level sulfur detection.

GC-SCD is commonly used in the energy and petrochemicals industries. Sulfur compounds naturally occur in crude oil and natural gas and make their way into process streams. Accurate sulfur analysis ensures process efficiency, minimizes catalyst poisoning, and compliance with environmental regulations and product specifications.

This poster outlines some of the applications of Shimadzu’s innovative SCD-2030 for analysis of natural gas, gasoline, diesel, benzene, and transformer oil.
