Function

Automatic computer controlled analysis of hydrocarbon gases like:

CH4 / C2H6 / C3H8 / C4H10 / C5H12
and
Total Gas (all combustible gases).

Application

Production and exploration wells requiring highly sensitive gas detection, data collection and computerized data management.

Characteristic

The instrument is equipped with two Flame Ionisation Detectors (FID) and works fully automatic.

It is controlled by GEOCOMP-2, which is the basic online computer of the GEOCOMP family.

Results are transferred to GEOCOMP-2, converted into readable physical units (ppm or %) and printed on a semi logarithmic paper versus depth and versus time.

GEOCOMP-2 furthermore takes care on the proper function of the 2-channel GC plus TGD.

Calibration is made fully menu- guided and automatically stored in GEOCOMP-2. The selected column and the intelligent pneumatic design gives a very stable and reliable performance. This design and material makes recalibration unnecessary within one operational period.

A complex safety system protects the GEOCOMP GC and TGD against uncontrolled escape of hydrogen.

Sensitivity

GC: 10ppm
TGD: 10ppm
