Btex trace impurities are key targets for environmental monitoring, and are of critical importance to CO2 manufacturers and the carbonated beverage industry
The series 200 AHC meets all ISBT method 12.0 criteria for selective measurement of benzene in carbon dioxide.
Continuous stream or batch sampling operations are readily performed.
The series 200 AHC is specifically designed as a rugged, low cost, low maintenance, simple to operate, turn-key system.
No cylinder support gases are needed.
Calibration and sample introduction are totally automated.
A newly designed photo-ionisation detector (PID) and proprietary technology are used for the specific measurement of benzene without interference from other potential impurities in beverage-grade carbon dioxide.
Detector response is linear over three orders of magnitude.
The detectable limit for benzene is 3ppb, which is far below the ISBT guideline limit of 20ppb.
The 200 AHC is also capable of PC-based control and data logging.
Full documentation is provided, along with optional customer training and support services.
