SMARTER– Using modern computing with standard operating systems
and software, the automated CALIDUS microGC frees valuable technical
resources from the daily grind of interpreting and validating
chromatographic results. Built-in LineUpTM technology from Infometrix,
Inc. virtually eliminates misidentification of components and drastically
reduces the need for expensive calibration sample runs. Less time spent
calibrating the analyzer means more time spent on more economically
valuable diagnostics, most notably measured process deviations from
the setpoint.
EASIER– Proprietary, plug and play temperature-programmed gas
chromatography column modules allow the CALIDUS microGC to avoid
the complicated and troublesome valve schemes used in isothermal
process analyzers and many lab gas chromatographs. Global patents are
pending for this unique micro gas chromatograph.
Correlation between laboratory systems and online process control
systems becomes realistically possible with the CALIDUS microGC,
because both physical packages use the same measurement principle,
hardware and methodology. Applying the CALIDUS microGC in-lab and
online means less time spent reconciling lab and process measurements
and validating which result is correct. More time can be spent working on
more valuable, direct process optimization.
GREENER– The obvious and extraordinary features and benefits of the
CALIDUS microGC combine to yield something that may not be that
evident: Green Process Analytical Chemistry. CALIDUS is greener –
whether in the control laboratory, online in the processing plant, near line
in the pilot plant or when transported for field measurements. Consuming
less than 300 Watts in operation, the CALIDUS microGC uses a small
fraction of the traditional gas chromatograph consumption rate of up to
3000 Watts.
With analytical cycles that are a minimum of 10 times faster and the low
electrical load needed for operation, the CALIDUS microGC power
consumption per analysis is 1% or less of the energy required by
traditional gas chromatography. Combine these savings with the reduction
in workload for air conditioning systems and the CALIDUS solution is
greener still. The CALIDUS product life cycle environmental impact from
manufacturing throughout its useful lifetime to disposal is far less than
traditional GCs.
THE RESULT– Faster, Smaller, Smarter, Easier and Greener = better
quality, increased productivity, profitability and versatility, with far less
hassle and environmental impact. That summarizes the successful,
business application equation for the CALIDUSTM microGC .
