The Baseline® 9000 H Heated Hydrocarbon Analyzer is a microprocessor based instrument designed for continuous ambient or process hydrocarbon gas measurement in environmental or industrial settings. The heated total hydrocarbon analyzer is configured for single point analysis (with or without a sample pump) of samples heated up to 376 °F (191 °C) for pre-filtered (< 10 microns) non-condensing samples.
Detection limits down to < 0.1 ppm. User-programmable ranges from 10 ppm to 10% (propane) or 10 ppm to 50% (methane) are factory-configured per the customer’s application to facilitate installation and setup.
Using a Flame Ionization Detector (FID), AMETEK MOCON Baseline® FlowGuard electronic control regulates the delivery of fuel, air, and a small portion of the sample gas, to the FID. During the combustion process, organic or hydrocarbon-based gases in the sample are ionized, detected by the instrument, and then reported as a concentration. The automatic calibration feature enhances the long-term analytical stability of the instrument.
All instrument parameters are reported clearly and continually refreshed on a large, graphical LCD display. Using analog, digital, and logic output communication capabilities, analytical information from the analyzer can be acquired using an external PC and a simple communications program such as Windows® HyperTerminal or the analyzer can output binary or ASCII formats directly to a data acquisition system or PLC. Every Baseline® 9000 H analyzer includes a AMETEK MOCON's free PC utility 9000 Keeper used for storing and uploading multiple methods, as well as sending configuration settings, directly to the analyzer.
