ABB Process Analytics’ Process Gas Chromatograph (PGC) 2000 E2 comes standard with Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) for improved chromatography resolution and repeatability. Two new detectors, dielectric barrier discharge ionization (DBDID) and photo-ionization (PID), add new industry applications for PPM and PPB measurements. Redundant Ethernet communications is now direct from the analyzer. The chromatograph has also been upgraded to Division 2 by design, reducing analyzer cost and enabling Division 1 certification to be achieved with a simple “y” purge. A new mounting plate on its Micro Liquid Sample Inject Valve isolates excessive loads on the sample chamber, eliminating premature wearing of the seals and damage to the steam.
