4000 series hydrocarbon analyzers that work according to the flame ionization principle
Teledyne's 4000 Series hydrocarbon analyzers are used for emission measurements (including leaks), soil remediation, hazardous waste identification and general environmental research.
The analyzers operate according to the flame ionization principle. Due to the high sensitivity for most organic components and the linear response, one is assured of extremely accurate measurements. The linear response enables accurate measurements at all concentration levels. The values are given in parts per billion (ppb) and parts per million (ppm).
The response time of the hydrocarbon analyzers is a few seconds. Organic compounds from the sample stream or separation column are injected into the detector housing where they are mixed with hydrogen and air before entering the detector where the mixture is burned. During this process, organic compounds are broken into carbon fragments and receive a positive charge (ionization) at the surface of the anode. Carbon fragments are detected, the signal is amplified and then sent to the data processing system.
Teledyne analyzers are configured to the customer's specifications to meet all monitoring needs. Emission sources can be identified quickly and efficiently.
Different models and applications
All models in the 4000 series use the same base and electronics. Below is an overview of the different functions of each analyzer. Here you can also download the brochure.
Model 4020 Total Hydrocarbon Analyzer
Utilizes flame ionization detection to measure total hydrocarbon content in a gas sample in ppm. This model is ideal for reducing hydrocarbon contamination in high purity bulk gases. When combined with Teledyne's chromatography column, the 4020 is ideally suited for hazardous location applications for the detection of volatile hydrocarbons in cooling water, process leak detection, and environmental compliance.
Applications:
Monitoring the purity of oxygen, argon, nitrogen and other 'blanket gases' (blanketing) in the manufacture of, for example, electronics in the semiconductor industry.
Monitoring of hydrocarbon contamination in air liquefaction and other gas production processes.
Gas purity certification
Detection of traces of hydrocarbons in the ambient air
Detection of air pollutants
Check for fuel leaks or toxic solvents
Monitoring of hydrocarbons in CO2 feed streams in the food and beverage industry.
Model 4030 Total Hydrocarbon Analyzer
Basic 4020 with higher temperature sampling system for heated applications. Prevents condensation of the sample.
Applications:
Environmental monitoring of total hydrocarbons
Total hydrocarbon measurement for car exhaust
Model 4040 Methane / Non-methane
Basic 4020 including a temperature controlled sampling system with GC (Gas Chromatography) column for accurate measurements of both methane hydrocarbons and non-methane hydrocarbons in a gas stream.
Applications:
Process monitoring – monitoring with alarm or control of: process gas streams containing organic solvents, crude oil and other chemicals containing hydrocarbons.
Efficiency Control – Monitoring of volatile organic compounds for environmental compliance, efficiency control of combustion plants (thermal or catalytic), gas scrubbers, carbon adsorption and other purification equipment, monitoring of catalysts, combustion and efficiency of diesel engines.
Environmental Monitoring – Monitoring and/or control of ovens, dryers, volatile emissions monitoring, shop floor monitoring (safety), leak detection of process equipment or solvent storage areas.
Model 4060 Benzene
Similar to the 4040, but used to measure benzene levels instead of Methane/Non-Methane.
Applications:
Monitoring of benzene in CO₂ feed streams (blanketing) in the food and beverage industry.
Detection of traces of benzene in ambient air
Monitoring the purity of nitrogen, oxygen, argon and other cover gases
Monitoring of ethylene oxygen in sterile environments
