Accurate Total Hydrocarbon Analysis for Regulatory Compliance
Overview
The Apex Instruments MINIFID is a portable Flame Ionization Detector (FID) designed for US EPA Method 25A. This system determines the total gaseous organic concentration of vapours composed primarily of alkanes, alkenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons (commonly referred to as total hydrocarbons).
The MINIFID Heated FID is ideal for hot and wet samples, providing continuous and fast response times for real-time reporting and alarm-status monitoring.
Key Features & Specifications
- Fully heated system to prevent sample loss due to condensation
- Water vapour removal to eliminate interference around the detector
- Analyser designed for hot, wet samples, including those from combustion and solvent processes
- Integrated heated pump and clean-up system to use ambient air for flame supply and zero-point calibration
- 0-10V and 4-20mA outputs for concentration logging
- 4 contact closure outputs for range selection indication
- Optional onboard data-logging & USB connectivity
- Integrated controls (unlike other analysers that require a separate heated line with an external controller)
- Removable PTFE sample filter for easy maintenance
- Compliant with EU and US EPA regulations
- Operates with or without a heated line, depending on requirements
The MINIFID Sampling System offers precision hydrocarbon analysis with enhanced portability and compliance-ready performance.
