An Apix Chrompix is a compact, modular gas chromatograph (GC) system that performs real-time, on-site gas and liquid analysis.
What It Does
- Analyzes complex mixtures: It embeds up to four plug-and-play analytical modules to detect and measure multiple gases or liquids simultaneously (from hydrogen up to heavy hydrocarbons).
- Replaces laboratory testing: It provides lab-grade, sub-ppm (parts per million) sensitivity in the field, eliminating the need to send samples away to a traditional laboratory.
- Monitors industrial processes: It tracks natural gas quality, biomethane injection, sulfur/odorant levels, and caloric values for custody transfer in real time.
Key Features
- Modular design: Houses up to four independent analysis cartridges/channels with distinct columns and carrier gases.
- Advanced NEMS technology: Uses miniaturized silicon nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) resonators and micro-TCD (thermal conductivity) detectors instead of bulky air-bath ovens.
- Low consumption & footprint: Built for 19-inch racks or tabletops, consuming minimal carrier gas and cutting traditional operating costs.
