摘要： A method and apparatus for providing compositional analysis of hydrocarbon fluids from well samples up to a C30+ fraction. The method includes the steps of heating a sample to a temperature of about 220° F., and collecting the liquid and gaseous fractions therefrom. Both the liquid and gaseous fractions are analyzed by gas chromatography. Additionally, the volume of the gas, and the volume, molecular weight and mass of the liquid are determined. The results are then analyzed to provide a total composition of the hydrocarbon fluids.

摘要： Disclosed herein are two stage thermal modulators that are useful in the separation of the components of an analyte sample in an analytical method, such as gas chromatography. In some embodiments, the thermal modulators described herein include a modulator column coupled to at least one ground point so as to define a plurality of stages that may be independently temperature modulated. In some cases, the modulator column (or stages thereof adjacent to a ground point) and the ground point are thermally matched, so as to limit or eliminate the formation of a temperature differential between the modulator column and a ground point.

摘要： A passive sampling apparatus and method for measuring the cumulative mass of a selected gas being transported through a known cross-sectional area, for example, a soil surface, during a chosen period of time, using absorbent material, are described. Two quantities of absorbent material are disposed in a hollow container, such as a pipe section, and spaced apart such that they may be readily separated for analysis. The absorbent material closest to the soil captures the gas leaving the soil. Under reversed flow conditions, for example when the ambient air enters the ground because of fluctuations in atmospheric pressure, the upper absorbent material captures the component of interest entering the apparatus, thereby preventing this gas from entering the lower material and disturbing the measurement. The apparatus can therefore sequester the component of interest without being affected by the direction of gas transport.

摘要： Systems and methods for cooling a chromatographic column is disclosed generally, comprising heating a chromatographic column, supplying fluid into the column via the inlet end of the column at an inlet pressure, decreasing the temperature of the column, thereby causing the fluid in the column to contract, and controlling the fluid in the column such that the rate at which the fluid in the column contracts does not exceed the flow rate of the fluid supplied to the column. In certain embodiments, the rate of change of the volume of the fluid in the column as the column temperature decreases is modeled, and the rate of contraction of the gas in the column is estimated therefrom. In some embodiments, the column temperature and/or inlet pressure are controlled by a programmable chromatographic oven.

摘要： This invention provides a chromatographic apparatus comprising an introduction part for a carrier gas as a main mobile phase medium, a sample injection part, a separation column comprising a stationary phase formed by coating a polymeric material, a part for housing the separation column, and a detector. The sample injection part is provided between the carrier gas introduction part and the inlet of the separation column. The chromatographic apparatus further comprises a solvent introduction means for adding a liquid solvent as a second mobile phase medium to a carrier gas and mixing them together, a mechanism for regulating the amount of the carrier gas introduced and the amount of the solvent added, and a mechanism for regulating the temperature of each flow passage. A plurality of clogging liquid stoppers, of which the liquid film thickness is equal to the inner diameter of a capillary column, are partly provided at predetermined intervals within the column in a longitudinal direction of the column. In such a state that a gas phase and a liquid phase are intermittently alternated, a mobile phase medium is moved toward a column outlet and a sample is separated by utilizing distribution between the solvent liquid film of the mobile phase medium and the column stationary phase. There is also provided a chromatographic analytical method utilizing this apparatus. According to this method, a sample can be separated without using any high pressure pump.
