The Process Gas Chromatograph GC8000 is a state-of-the-art process gas chromatograph (process GC) that separates out multi-component mixtures of gases or volatile liquids into individual components for detection. The newly developed GC module enables analysis under optimal conditions for each component, such as parallel gas chromatography for multiple simultaneous analyses and the high-precision analysis required in the fine chemicals field. Unlike laboratory gas chromatograph (lab GC), which mainly perform batch analyses with manual operation, process gas chromatographs fully automate continuous analysis in the manufacturing process. This addresses issues such as labor-intensive analysis, chronic personnel shortages, and increased costs, thereby contributing to more efficient plant operations. > What are the improvements in plant operation efficiency the Process Gas Chromatograph GC8000 offers? In 2023, Yokogawa will start offering gas chromatograph AI maintenance support (GCAI), in which AI continuously monitors the GC8000 and reads changes in measurement status and signs of abnormality. The results of the AI analysis are used to perform maintenance and prevent problems before they occur, leading to stable plant operation. The GC8000 meets the following needs: Freedom from routine tasks involved in manual analysis Avoiding inconsistency in sample collection Saving costs for operation and maintenance Improving reproducibility in high-precision analysis The Process Gas Chromatograph GC8000 has features that make it more suitable for use in plants than typical laboratory gas chromatographs. Here are some of the benefits the GC8000 brings to plant operations.
