Refinery Gas Analysis
Gas compositions produced in refinery plants consist of hydrocarbons, permanent gases, H2S, etc. Analyzing these gases is essential to control the quality of chemical products and plant operation. Shimadzu's RGA systems, available in numerous configurations, are designed to analyze various compositions in a variety of processes. In research and development for petrochemical and its catalysis field, target compounds often contain high-boiling point compounds and isomers. The Shimadzu CERGA makes it possible to precisely analyze those samples.

Natural Gas Analysis
Recently, natural gas has been recognized as a clean resournce for energy, in addition to being a raw material for chemical products. Recently a cutting-edge drilling technology has increased the use of shale gas. As the production area diversifies, the need for gas composition analysis has increased. Shimadzu addresses analytical requests with a wide system GC lineup. For analysis of liquified gas, such as LPG, a dedicated injector with a vaporizer is available. Both manual injection and online injection are available. The operation software can automatically calculate needed values, such as indexes, calorific values, etc.

Gasoline/Fuel Analysis
A gas chromatograph is used for composition analysis of gasoline and its additives in order to improve fuels' performance. In addition to excellent performance, Shimadzu's GC systems improve productivity. For example, the Nexis GC-2030 system combines three standards into one to save analytical instrument and labor costs.

Detailed Hydrocarbon Analysis
The purpose of detailed hydrocarbon analysis (DHA) is to determine the bulk hydrocarbon group type composition (PONA: Paraffins, Olefins, Naphthenes and Aromatics) of gasoline and other spark-ignition engine fuels that contain oxygenate blends (Methanol, ethanol, MTBE, ETBE, and TAME) according to ASTM-D6730. PONA analyte identification is conducted by matching retention indices with normal hydrocarbon paraffins. However, chromatograms obtained in PONA analyses have an extremely large number of peaks and their analytes may be mislabeled. Without accurate and reproducible retention indices, this may result in erroneous PONA ratios. The GC-2030 incorporates an Advanced Flow Controller that enables highly precise flow control, and makes it easy to analyze and identify detailed hydrocarbons. Shimadzu offers DHA analysis conforming to the following methods: ASTM-D5134, ASTM-D6729, ASTM-D6730, and ASTM-D6733.

Impurity Analysis In Bulk Gas
High-purity gas is necessary in industries such as chemical, medical, and foods. Precisely controlled GC enables identification and quantitation of a trace amount of impurities in bulk gas. If the gas resources in a factory consist of multiple lines, a sample line selector SLS-2020 can be utilized to switch sample lines automatically, allowing a single GC to analyze all samples.

Nexis GC-2030 BIDUFRGA
UFRGA Series
The Ultrafast RGA system utilizes the new Barrier Discharge Ionization Detector (BID) technology coupled with Nexis GC-2030 to create new system GC for ultrafast, high-sensitivity analysis. Since the electrode creating Helium plasma is totally isolated from the carrier gas, there is no chance to contaminate this electrode with a dirty sample. This enables long-term stability.

Trace Moisture Analysis System
Analyzing moisture, and how much of it, is critical to the performance of petroleum products, as well as infrastructure and product integrity. For example, moisture in petrochemical feedstock can cause pipelines and valves to freeze, as well as poison some catalysts. One popular method used to analyze for moisture is Karl Fischer Titration (KFT). KFT has a wide dynamic range but has difficulty in measuring relatively low amounts of moisture. In addition, there are the well-known problems of side reactions and known interferences.
