FOR WHAT TO DO ?

You need : • Analyze a stream of gas • From catalysis pilot or fermentation, methanisation studies ..

• From process (on-line analysis)

Your results : • Instrument will separate all compounds from your sample gas.

• It will quantify all compounds you have targeted

Good sample gas preparation • No dust, no particules • No droplets (liquids in suspension) • Less as possible water you can 5
