CP-PoraPLOT U channel
The CP-PoraPLOT U channel of the Biogas Analyzer is used to analyze carbon dioxide, ethane,
hydrogen sulfide and n-propane. This channel and the sample inlet are Ultimetal deactivated
which results in improved performance for hydrogen sulfide analysis.
The chromatogram obtained from the Universal Gas Calibration Standard with the CP-PoraPLOT
U is shown in Figure 59.
If a sample contains hydrogen sulfide, the chromatogram resembles Figure 60.
