System GC for Impurities in Chlorine Gas

Chlorine is a widely used component in a variety of industrial and manufacturing processes, ranging from industrial gases to disinfectants to common polymers such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC). As such, manufacturers and consumers use gas chromatography to assess the quality of their chlorine gas to ensure product quality. During production and capture, trace to major amounts of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, methane, and carbon dioxide may be incorporated into the bulk chlorine. A major challenge to analysis of chlorine gas is the corrosive nature of chlorine, which is a strong oxidizer and will corrode system components. This gas chromatograph is constructed of corrosion resistant alloys or otherwise treated to minimize degradation. This application is available on the GC-2014 platform. The solid metal chassis of this GC model increases the longevity of the unit in harsh environmental conditions.
