What is Jetanizer™?
The Jetanizer is the easiest and most robust methanizer. A methanizer is a chemical reactor that converts carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to methane to enable sensitive detection by a flame ionization detector (FID) from <20 ppb to 100%!
ARC: CO₂ analysis from 1ppm to 100% with GC/Jetanizer/FID
Why is it important?
Low-level detection of CO and CO₂ is important in:
- catalysis
- hydrogen (H₂) purity analysis
- dissolved gas analysis (DGA)
- greenhouse gas (GHG) analysis,
- transformer oil gas analysis (TOGA)
- ethylene/propylene monomers analysis
- safe entry analysis, and more
Traditionally, large nickel-catalyst-filled tube methanizers are used, however, they are prone to frequent failures, and they are difficult and time consuming to operate and maintain.
Legacy nickel catalyst methanizers take 2-6 hours to install and replace. Jetanizers take <5 minutes.
ARC’s Jetanizer solves these challenges by improving response, robustness and ease of installation, by incorporating state-of-the-art catalysts into an FID jet. Moreover, the Jetanizer enables low level <1 ppm formaldehyde analysis by GC avoiding the pitfalls of HPLC analysis of formaldehyde.
For use with these GC models: Agilent 5890, 6890, 7890, 8890, Intuvo, Shimadzu 2010, 2030 GC.
Benefits over Traditional Methanizers
- Lower up-front cost
- No extra plumbing: minimize fittings and leaks
- No extra heater or controller: utilizes heat from FID
- FAST installation: Less than 5 minutes
- Ability to be used with formaldehyde
- Higher sulfur tolerance
- Higher catalytic activity = larger linear dynamic range
- Free up space on the GC
- No toxic metals: The Jetanizer™ does not contain nickel catalysts
