CDQC Analysis System​​​

Carbon Dioxide Quality Control System



 Description

​Teledyne’s Carbon Dioxide Quality Control (CDQC) system offers an integrated package to continuously monitor impurities in carbon dioxide (CO2). The plug-and-play design allows for the user to select only the gases and features of interest to maximize cost benefit and space.

Front door viewing windows allow for view of all analyzer displays, flow and pressure settings. Stainless steel tube fitting connections and NPT or metric electrical ports as required are conveniently located in a central location for ease of access. Sample conditioning, utility gas provisions and integral calibration gas solenoid valves are standard.


Options

•Multi-point stream selection, co​​ntrolled by Profibus-DP or discrete signals
•Stainless steel cabinet, NEMA or IP rated, climate control available
•Profibus-DP communications of most analyzers
•Integral zero air generator to eliminate zero air utility requirement


Optional Accessories

VB Serial Valve Boxes

  • Sequential stream timing control
  • Automatic switch to next stream when the time elapsed.
  • Timer indicator of stream elapsed time
  • Individual timer of each stream
  • Stream selection can be operated in either manual or sequencer
  • Pushbutton to select the stream
  • Optional Profibus-DP communications


Model 701 Zero Air Generator

  • Creates hydrocarbon-free air supply for all FID-based analyzers
  • Optional CO or CO and Hydrocarbon scrubber
  • Automatic water drain
  • Automatic pump control based on flow demand
  • Source of purge air for permeation tube ovens

 Applications

Raw carbon dioxide (CO2) is commonly sourced from ammonia plants, ethanol plants, and other fermentation sources. For use in food and beverages, proper removal of certain compounds in these processes is critical because many of them can pose health risks and impact beverage odor and taste. As a result, ultra-pure CO2 gas suppliers and bottlers continuously check product quality for ​part-per-million (PPM) or even part-per-billion (PPB) levels of these impurities. Impurity limits and the need to continuously monitor may vary depending on the customer and raw CO2 source.​
