CALIDUSModel 101HT -
comprisedof 3modules fittedwithhigh temperature inlet and columnoperational
components
A singleSampleProcessingUnitwitha standard split/splitless injectionport (1:1up to1:200) suitable for gasand
liquid samples viaeither syringe through the septum injections, optional gas, liquidor headspaceauto-sampler, or
automated samplingvalves. The inlet includes septumpurge toprevent bleed components fromentering the
system. Themaximumoperating temperature is350

C.
A singleProgrammedTemperatureColumnModule containingahigh temperature resistivelyheated steel capillary
chromatography columnwithnecessaryhardware, softwareandelectronic control toenable temperature
programming from0.1

C. The column isMxt 1-HT forhigh
temperature simulateddistillationgas chromatography.
A singleDetectorModule incorporatingamicro Flame IonizationDetector (FID)with thenecessaryhardware,
softwareandelectronic control toprovidedetector temperature control (350
o
Cmaximum), digital output signal and
additionally for proper FID fuel supplypressureandauto-ignition.
ThemicroFID is a fullydigital carbon/hydrogenbonddetectorusing thehydrogen flame toburn the sample
components. It uses anelectrometer to sense the current changes in the flame cell due to chromatographic
component elution. Thedata rate is100Hz.

SIGNIFICANCEANDUSE
TheModel 101HTprovides a simpleultra-fast (10 to50 times faster than conventional labor
processGC’s) simulateddistillationanalysis for hydrocarbons toC
50
. This system is ideally
configured for liquid fuels and fuel component characterizationbyboiling rangedistribution
includinggasoline rangeorganics up throughgasoil andeven crudeoil.
Theanalyses areused for exploration&production liquids characterization, fuels specification
testing, regulatoryevaluations, environmentalmeasurements, process control, transportable
spot checkof fuels andmanymore.
