What is it?

The Jetanizer is the easiest and most robust methanizer. A methanizer is a chemical reactor that converts carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to methane to enable sensitive detection by a flame ionization detector (FID) from <20 ppb to 100%!

Common Methods*:

  • ASTM D2505 for CO2 in ethylene and propylene
  • ASTM D6159 for CO in ethylene
  • UOP Method 603-18 for trace CO/CO2 in H2

* Contact ARC for more information on select methods and industry applications for the Jetanizer.

Why is it important?

Low level detection of CO and CO2 is important in catalysis, hydrogen (H2) purity analysis, dissolved gas analysis (DGA), greenhouse gas (GHG) analysis, transformer oil gas analysis (TOGA), ethylene/propylene monomers, safe entry analysis, and more. Traditionally, large nickel-catalyst-filled tube methanizers are used, however, they are prone to frequent failures, and they are difficult and time consuming to operate and maintain. ARC’s Jetanizer solves these challenges by improving response, robustness and ease of installation, by incorporating state-of-the-art catalysts into an FID jet. Moreover, the Jetanizer enables low level <1 ppm formaldehyde analysis by GC avoiding the pitfalls of HPLC analysis of formaldehyde.

For use with these GC models:

Agilent 5890, 6890, 7890, 8890, and Intuvo.
Shimadzu 2010 and 2030 GCs

Benefits over Traditional Methanizers

  • Lower up-front cost
  • No extra plumbing: minimize fittings and leaks
  • No extra heater or controller: utilizes heat from FID
  • FAST installation: Less than 5 minutes
  • Ability to be used with formaldehyde
  • Higher sulfur tolerance
  • Higher catalytic activity = larger linear dynamic range
  • Free up space on the GC
  • No toxic metals: The Jetanizer™ does not contain nickel catalysts
