Re-packing the
SRI FID/Methanizer tube
Themethanizer jet may be repacked
many times. Use a stiff wire to poke the
old catalyst/glasswool out of the jet.
If the catalyst needs frequent replace-
ment, it may be because it is being poi-
soned by sulfur. Some users attached
a foot or two of copper tubing between
the column and the detector to scrub the
sulfur out of the gas stream to to the
methanizer. Sulfur reactswith copper to
make copper sulfide.
