Town Gas Analysis
Periodical monitoring of calorific values is necessary to ensure a stable supply of town gas. Since Shimadzu’s system GC is robust and designed for automated analysis, it is widely used for 24 hour/day online analysis in this field.
Dedicated software is able to calculate calorific values and indexes automatically.
Using the sample line selctor SLS-2020, a single system GC can analyse multiple samples without switching the sample line. This saves both running and initial costs.

Greenhouse Gas Analysis
The greenhouse gas analyzer is a gas chromatography system that can simultaneously measure CH4, CO2, and N2O gases in a single sample injection, an analysis that was difficult to achieve with previous systems. Equipped with a robust high-throughput syringe injection system for processing up to 108 sample vials, this analyzer is designed to support research related to reducing greenhouse gas levels.
