  • Page 3: Introduction

    Scion Instruments INTRODUCTION Natural gas analysis commonly involves the quantitation of components up to C5 while C6 and heavier hydrocarbons are combined and measured as a single peak (C6+). Extending the analysis to obtain the compositional breakdown of the C6+ group can provide valuable information.

  • Page 5: Installation Of Columns, Flow And Pressure Setting

    Make sure, the instrument is connected to the minimum gas supply pressures as indicated in the 400-GC series pre-installation manual. For more detailed information concerning the configuration of the instrument, please, refer to the drawing section (section 6 of this manual).
  • Page 6: Tuning The Natgas C Analyzer

    Scion Instruments TUNING THE NATGAS C ANALYZER Tuning is only necessary when new columns have to be installed or by malfunctioning of the GC. Connect the columns according the flow schematics given in Section 6 and adjust the pressures (if necessary) at an oven temperature of 45°C.
