Flame ionization detector for total hydrocarbon analysis

Teledyne Vocht Moisture Stofconcentratie Dust concentration FID FID Gas Gas

Determine the total hydrocarbon concentration at ppm levels with Teledyne flame ionization detectors.

Hydrocarbon analysis using FID for emissions and process monitoring

Teledyne

The Teledyne 4000 Series hydrocarbon analyzers are widely used for emissions monitoring, including leak detection, soil remediation, hazardous waste identification, and environmental monitoring. Measurements are reported in both parts per billion (ppb) and parts per million (ppm).

The analyzers operate using the Flame Ionization Detection (FID) principle. Their high sensitivity to most organic compounds, combined with an excellent linear response, ensures highly accurate measurements across the entire measurement range. This linearity enables reliable quantification from trace-level ppb concentrations up to higher ppm levels.

Flame Ionization Detection (FID)
Linear response for accurate measurements from ppb to ppm
Fast response time of only a few seconds
Suitable for continuous monitoring of gas streams
Configurable to meet specific process and application requirements

Models within the 4000 Series

Model 4020 – Total Hydrocarbons

Accurately measures the total hydrocarbon concentration in gas streams. Ideal for gas purity monitoring, process leak detection, and emissions monitoring.

Model 4030 – Heated FID Analyzer

Comparable to the Model 4020, but equipped with a heated sample handling system to prevent condensation. Ideal for applications involving hot or moisture-laden gas streams.

Model 4040 – Methane / Non-Methane Hydrocarbons

Equipped with a gas chromatography (GC) column for the separation and measurement of methane and non-methane hydrocarbons. Suitable for process monitoring, emissions measurements, and efficiency monitoring of industrial installations.

Model 4060 – Benzene Analyzer

Specifically designed for the measurement of benzene in gas streams. Used for environmental monitoring, gas purity analysis, and industrial safety applications.

Application areas

The 4000 Series analyzers are used in applications where accurate hydrocarbon detection is essential:

Emissions monitoring and environmental compliance
Leak detection in process plants and storage facilities
Gas purity monitoring for O₂, N₂, Ar, and CO₂
Detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in industrial processes
Environmental monitoring and workplace safety
