Hiden has introduced its QGA mass spectrometer as a fast-response, multirole gas analysis system readily adaptable to monitor and/or control a diverse range of thermal reaction systems and processes.
Typical application areas include reaction kinetics, catalyst characterisation, thermo-gravimetric studies and temperature programmed desorption, reduction and oxidation.
The system measures all gas and vapour species with molecular weights up to 300amu and includes external inputs enabling integration and display of process parameters such as temperature, weight and pressure with the measurements.
A range of dedicated process interfaces, together with a custom design service for specialised applications, provide direct and optimised coupling to the majority of process systems.
System operation, calibration, data acquisition and display are fully automated with full manual control selectable when required for the researcher.
For multistream applications, the expanded range of inlet systems enable monitoring of from four up to 80 gas streams automatically and sequentially in any user-selected sequence.
