Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
Gas Chromatography has become
an important analytical tool in virtually every phase of the petroleum
industry, from exploration of crude oil and refining of finished products to
research on new petrochemicals. Gas Chromatography (GC) is one of the most
widely used techniques in modern analytical chemistry and in its basic form, is
used to separate complex mixtures of different molecules based on their
physical properties, such as polarity and boiling point. It is an ideal tool to
analyze gas and liquid samples containing many hundreds or even thousands of
different molecules, as in the case of crude oil or its products. The technique
allows the analyst to identify both the types of molecular species present and
their concentrations.
This comprehensive BOOST Oil & Gas Technology training seminar introduces the fundamental theory of Gas Chromatography along with the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting, from sample introduction through to data analysis. Instrument components are described and presented, along with their underlying theories as they apply to guiding best practices and effective method optimization and troubleshooting.
