Fundamentals Of Gas Chromatography
By Emerson Process Management, Rosemount Analytical
This article covers the principles of sample handling, how chromatograph columns separate the components, why and how multi-port analysis valves are used, the common detector type used in the hydrocarbon applications, and the analysis processing that provides the component concentrations and the other calculated values (such as heating value and specific gravity) through physical reports or interfaces to other devices.


Chemical Plants Become More Efficient With Help From Intelligent Sensors
By Mettler-Toledo International Inc.
How can plant managers and engineers ensure measuring parameters will help processes run smoothly and efficiently, and exploit the availability of process machinery? Fortunately, advanced process analytics solutions exist that not only are accurate and reliable – even in the harshest of process conditions – but that also minimize the maintenance burden by actually predicting when maintenance of a measuring point is required.


General Electrochemistry
By PEPCON Systems
All chemical processes involve the loss, gain, or redistribution of electrons on an atom or group of atoms. Electricity is the movement of electrons along a conductor. It is no wonder then that chemical changes can be made to occur by passing an electric current through a solution containing atoms or groups of atoms which will accept or give up electrons. Electrochemical processes are processes which pass an electrical current through a solution to effect chemical changes.
