Pyrolysis and Combustion Analysis requires very fast, stable chemical analysis of the combustion process or exhaust stream. Critical to the process is the use of a gas analysis system with high sensitivity and high resolution, to accurately monitor a wide range of applications while maintaining a small dead time between sample runs.
For in-depth analysis of biofuel sources the VeraSpec MBx is the go-to choice for handling the difficulties of pyrolysis and combustion analysis. The VeraSpec MBx is the flagship instrument for the analysis of pyrolytic byproducts in the search for new biofuel sources.
The VeraSpec MBx has been the proven solution for pyrolytic byproduct analysis by customers such as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the University of Georgia’s Complex Carbohydrate Research Center (CCRC).
Our biofuel analysis solution includes the MAX300-LG™ Laboratory Gas Analyzer and MAX300-BIO™ Bioreactor Gas Analyzer Systems, capable of sampling from multiple points along an atmospheric pressure exhaust stream.
Applications
- Detection and Measurement of sugar and lignin content within biofuel plant sources
- Monitoring automobile engine exhaust
- Detecting trace metals or the chemistry of particulates in furnace exhaust
- Analysis of rocket engine combustion products to improve engine efficiency
- Complex Carbohydrate content detection in biofuel sources
Solutions to Pyrolysis Challenges
- Highly Reactive Species – Molecular Beam Science allows for real-time analysis.
- Damaging Particulates and Dirty Samples – Skimmer Optical system to remove particulates.
- Cleaning Downtime – The Gate Valve allows for the MS chamber to stay under vacuum.
- Dead Time Between Sample Runs – The immediate measurement of pyrolysis by direct coupling to MS.
