The APIX Analytics ChromEx 400 is an explosion-proof, modular gas chromatography (GC) system that performs real-time, online analysis of complex gas and liquid mixtures in hazardous industrial environments.
Core Functions
- Hazardous Area Monitoring: Housed in a certified flameproof (EXD/ATEX/IECEx Zone 1) enclosure, it safely analyzes explosive atmospheres in petrochemical plants, refineries, and flare lines.
- Multi-Module Analysis: It supports up to four independent, plug-and-play miniaturized analytical modules for simultaneous testing of different compounds from a single sample.
- Gas and Chemical Separation: It separates and measures components like hydrogen, methane, heavier hydrocarbons (up to C36), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sulfur, and carbon dioxide.
- Calorific Value and Custody Transfer: It calculates higher heating value (HHV/PCS) for natural gas and biomethane pricing compliance.
Key Features
- Miniaturized Technology: Uses silicon-based nano-chromatography and Nano Gravimetric/NEMS detectors instead of bulky air-bath ovens.
- Low Gas Consumption: Uses very little carrier gas, reducing operational resource needs.
- Fast Maintenance: Operators can swap out analytical modules in minutes using simple tools, reducing downtime.
