Advances in FTIR spectroscopy now allow for real-time analysis of absolute carbon dioxide (CO2) purity and all the normal trace impurities, including total sulphur content, as specified by EIGA and ISBT.
A modern FTIR gas analyzer does not rely on UV fluorescence to assess common sulphur-based contaminants of CO2 like H2S, CS2, or mercaptans. Rather, the analyzer employs an oxidizer module to convert any compounds containing reduced sulphur to sulfur dioxide. Using this method, the FTIR gas analyzer can measure total sulphur present as SO2. In addition to measuring trace level impurities. It also allows for the simultaneous analysis of CO2 purity with an uncertainty of only ±0.02%.
In this webinar, we will:
- Demonstrate the potential differences in the purity of CO2 dependent on its source and storage
- Address concerns regarding the elimination of a UV fluorescence analyzer for total sulphur detection
You will learn:
- Considerations for specifying analytical instrumentation
- Comparison of analytical techniques for total sulfur analysis
- Quality assurance plan for CO2 purity analysis
Who should attend?
This topic will be of interest to QA managers, production managers, process engineers, analytical chemists, and others in quality management and testing roles in the following areas:
- Food & Beverage – carbonated drinks and packaging
- Industrial Gas Suppliers
- Carbon Capture Utilization & Storage (CCUS)
