Gas Analysis

For EME 107B


By Dr. Paul Erickson

How does one measure gas


(and liquid) products?
Physical characteristics of each gas?
Batch (grab samples) vs real time
(continuous)
Thermal Conductivity
Burn Characteristics (Ionization)
Molecular weight

How do we
know what is in
the gas mixture
if we cant
calibrate with
that gas
mixture?

Reactivity
Interference between gases
Response of phenomenon (amounts)
Calibration binding

Real Time (Continuous)Systems


Must separate gases and indicate
quantities
Non Dispersive Infrared (NDIR)
Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR)
Thermal Conductivity Detectors
Combustible gas meters

Calibration

Why Dry ?
NDIR sensor technology

Radiant Absorption in Atmosphere


(up to 2 micrometers)

Radiation
Spectra is a
function of
temperature

CO2 Far IR Absorption Spectrum

Methane Far IR Absorption Spectrum

CO Far IR Absorption Spectrum

H20 Far IR Absorption Spectrum

Batch Processes
Require discrete sampling
Can potentially be analyzed multiple times
and with various methods

Chromatography

Gas Chromatography

Thermal Conductivity Detector

Flame Ionization Detectors

Mass Spectroscopy
