Sampling of Odorized Natural Gas

Greetings,

I am sampling natural gas in the field with a mobile rig comprised of (partially) an Agilent MicroGC 490 with a Molsieve 5A and a PoraplotQ column. Can these columns be damaged by sampling the odorized (sulfur compounds) stream, and should I restrict myself to sampling after our polisher?

Regards,

Jack

No, the sulfur compounds will not cause any issues to your analysis.

Hey,

Thanks for the good information! I will go ahead and sample upstream and get some mercaptan fingerprints...
