Abstract:
It has been the author’s experience, over many years, that the automated process of lighting an FID is often unsuccessful. In this situation, it is necessary to invoke a process affectionately known by the author as “Puff the Magic Dragon” to get the detector to ignite. FIDIG solves this problem. A simple modification to an FID chimney results in consistent repeatable FID ignition. Implementing FIDIG means that an FID will ignite without external assistance. It also means the detector can be turned off when not in use and save significant amounts of air, hydrogen and make-up gas.
