Description

The V&F CO2Sense uses an ion-molecule reaction mass spectrometer (IMR-MS) and was developed specifically to measure organic and inorganic impurities in carbon dioxide. With it, the common CO2 quality specifications of the food and beverage industry, such as ISBT and EIGA, can be met.

The analyzer has a dual gas inlet: an unheated inlet for the product gas and a heated inlet (110 °C) for raw gas.

Typical applications

  • Final CO2 quality control – measurement of organic and inorganic impurities in CO2
  • Monitoring of impurities in CO2 raw and process gas

Application examples

Food and beverage industries

  • Quality control of CO2 for the food and beverage sector

Gas industry

  • Feed gas and process monitoring in CO2 production

Specialty and industrial gases

  • CO2 raw gas measurement and process control

Measurable compounds

  • ISBT compounds: O2, NH3, NO, NO2, CH3OH (methanol), total volatile hydrocarbons (THC), CH4, C2H4O (acetaldehyde), aromatic hydrocarbons, C6H6, C7H8, C8H10 (xylene), total sulfur (TSC), COS, H2S, CS2, CH3SH, SO2, C2H5SH, C2H6S2 (dimethyl disulfide), HCN, C2H3Cl (vinyl chloride), PH3
  • Non-ISBT compounds: C3H6O (propanal, acetone), C2H5OH, C4H8O2 (ethyl acetate), C2H4O2 (methyl formate), C3H6O2 (ethyl formate), C6H12O2 (tert-butyl acetate), C5H12O (isoamyl alcohol), C4H10O (isobutyl alcohol), C3H8O (2-propanol), C2H4, C3H6, C4H6, C2H2, C2H6, CHCl3, C2H4Cl2, C2HCl3, C2H2Cl4, CH2BrCl, CHBr2Cl, CHBr3

Values marked as application-dependent (measuring range, response time, detection limit, gas consumption) depend on the compounds measured, the system configuration and the instrument settings.
