VORTEX GAS TRAP SYSTEM ALLOWING CONSTANT FLOW / VOLUME.
Explosion Proof Electrical or compressed air gas trap in-house designed STAINLESS STEEL to prevent corrosion).
 
GAS TRAP
Our Gas Trap allows the continuous extraction of gases from drilling mud so that they can be analyzed.
Internal baffles and a 3 blade agitator were designed to reduce the effect of immersion level variations on gas extraction yields.

FID CHROMATOGRAPH 8900

The Model 8900 Well Logging Gas Analyzer combines the selectivity of gas chromatography with the sensitivity, broad dynamic range and hydrocarbon selectivity of a flame ionization detector (FID) providing fast analysis (56 seconds) of C1-C5 hydrocarbons.

The 8900 WL Analyzer uses a dual column configuration with timed backflush to vent which is used to strip of moisture and C5 hydrocarbons. A pre-cut column is used in series with the analytical column. At sample injection, a fixed sample volume is carried to the pre-cut column. Backflush of the pre-cut column is timed from sample injection so that only C1-C5 hydrocarbons are eluted from the pre-cut column to the analytical column.
