CALIDUS
tm
101 HT micro Gas Chromatograph
Simulated Distillation GC analysis for virtually any hydrocarbon fuel or fuel blend
component up to C
50
for laboratory, at-line, transportable or online use.
CALIDUS Model 101 HT -
comprised of 3 modules fitted with high temperature inlet and column operational
components
A single Sample Processing Unit with a standard split/splitless injection port (1:1 up to 1:200) suitable for gas and
liquid samples via either syringe through the septum injections, optional gas, liquid or headspace auto-sampler, or
automated sampling valves. The inlet includes septum purge to prevent bleed components from entering the
system. The maximum operating temperature is 350
o
C.
A single Programmed Temperature Column Module containing a high temperature resistively heated steel capillary
chromatography column with necessary hardware, software and electronic control to enable temperature
programming from 0.1
o
C to 5
o
C per second from 5
o
C above ambient to 400
o
C. The column is Mxt 1-HT for high
temperature simulated distillation gas chromatography.
A single Detector Module incorporating a micro Flame Ionization Detector (FID) with the necessary hardware,
software and electronic control to provide detector temperature control (350
o
C maximum), digital output signal and
additionally for proper FID fuel supply pressure and auto-ignition.
The micro FID is a fully digital carbon/hydrogen bond detector using the hydrogen flame to burn the sample
components. It uses an electrometer to sense the current changes in the flame cell due to chromatographic
component elution. The data rate is 100 Hz.
CALIDUS 101-HT is controlled with ChromPerfect chromatography data system fully integrated with LineUp and
SimDist 2000 running on a Windows PC. An ASTM method for Ultra Fast Micro GC D-2887 is currently under
development based on CALIDUS 101-HT.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
The Model 101 HT provides a simple ultra-fast (10 to 50 times faster than conventional lab or
process GC’s) simulated distillation analysis for hydrocarbons to C
50
. This system is ideally
configured for liquid fuels and fuel component characterization by boiling range distribution
including gasoline range organics up through gas oil and even crude oil.
The analyses are used for exploration & production liquids characterization, fuels specification
testing, regulatory evaluations, environmental measurements, process control, transportable
spot check of fuels and many more.
