a1-envirosciences introduce the New Gastec Pyrotec Pyroliser

Fluorochlorocarbons (CFC) have been linked to ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere, yet they have been used in a wide assortment of industries because of excellent properties such as incombustibility, chemical stability, and insulation capability. Conventionally, measurements of these gases have required expensive equipment and skilled specialists. The Gastec Pyrotec System has made this monitoring easy and economical by combining detector tube technology and a portable pyrolyser.

When the handle of the Gas Sampling Pump is pulled, fluorochlorocarbons or halogenated hydrocarbons in the sample will first pass through the pretreatment tube where interfering organic vapours are removed and then enter into the Pyrotec where they are thermally decomposed into substances that can be easily measured by the Pyrotube, and finally enter into the Pyrotube where the by-products of the pyrolysis react chemically with the reagent.
