Key Features and Benefits

  • A 3-way decoking valve alleviates any coking problems that might occur in the NCD burner during the oxidation process and ensures maximum response and consistency.
  • Can be configured for both liquid and gas sample analysis.
  • High selectivity and equimolar for nitrogen.
  • Approximately 15 minute analysis time.
