To analyze small concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2), instead of the usual catarometer for these gases, a more sensitive PID is used, while carbon oxides are converted into methane (CH4) using reaction chromatography. The device implementing the conversion reaction is called a methanator, i.e. a device with a special catalyst that converts CO, CO2 into methane in a hydrogen current, while the latter is either a carrier gas itself, or is blown together with the carrier gas into the methanator through a tee. The methanator provides a highly efficient conversion reaction, while the detection limit of carbon oxides reaches 0.1 ppm. technical specifications Metanation temperature — 330 °C The coefficient of metanation is not less than 95 % The effective volume of the methanator is 1 ml.
