ARC Jetanizer (Methanizer)

What is Jetanizer™?

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%!

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 analysis
• 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.

Legacy nickel catalyst methanizers take 2-6 hours to install and replace. Jetanizers take <5 minutes.

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, Intuvo, Shimadzu 2010, 2030 GC.

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
