Description:
Course code: MAXTSA. List price: $1,800 per student.
The course covers operation, setup, validation and calibration of the Maxum Gas Chromatograph Total Sulfur Application. Students are encouraged to complete assigned lab exercises during and after each session to reinforce the learning modules throughout the week. A professional instructor will also be available to answer student questions outside of scheduled class times.
This course uses interactive presentations and discussions on the four key areas of this application - multiple range dilution system, FID combustion to convert Sulfurs to SO2, SO2 chromatograph application, the FPD detector and validation setup. Course includes hands on exercises in an off-line database using GCP workstation software.
Contact the Training Support center for site specific customization.
Objective:
Upon completion of this course, the student shall be able to:
- Understand the basic operation and maintenance of the FID and FPD.
- Adjust pressures and timing for the sample dilution system.
- Setup FID combustion for Sulfur conversions
- Setup and Calibrate the SO2 analytical Method.
- Setup sequences and validation for multiple sample gases.
Audience:
This course is intended for individuals responsible for routine maintenance and calibration of the Maxum Gas Chromatograph Total Sulfur Application measuring vapor samples such as flare gas.
Pre-requisites:
Maxum Operation with GCP Level 1
