摘要

Process Gas Chromatographs have been in use in the natural gas industry since the early eighties. The core analyticalrnelements are commonly manufactured with conventional fine-mechanical tools. Recently MEMS technology has enabledrna new level of performance for on-line natural gas analysis.rnMEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) technology combines mechanical and electronical techniques on a micro-scale.rnUsing micro-machining processing steps developed by the IC industry, chip-level devices are created which not onlyrnallow for a significant improvement of the interaction between these 2 disciplines, but also provides a much betterrncontrol of the processes which occur on this micro-scale.rnGas chromatography is one of the most suited scientific disciplines for MEMS technology. Besides the obvious sizernreduction (with the associated decrease in production and installation costs) and the reduction in consumables (bothrnpower and gas consumption), MEMS technology has a major impact on the analytical performance :rn?? Miniaturization of the Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD), which drives its performance up to levels previouslyrnonly attainable with FID’s, and which indirectly enables the use of capillary columns for on-line C6+ analysis.rn?? Ultra precise integration of columns, detectors and sample injection system – the core analytical components –rnwith the channel system of the base silicon wafer, leading to a significant reduction of the internal deadrnvolume, which is absolutely crucial for the analytical performance of a GC.rn?? Reduction of the analytical module size, allowing for a much tighter temperature control of the analyticalrncomponents, which is essential for the repeatability of the analysis results.rnThe paper explains the advantages of MEMS technology for on-line process gas chromatography in detail, and givernexamples of practical MEMS applications with analytical results.
