Solvent & VOC monitoring

HiQ gases support analytical instrument to measure VOC emissions from various indutries. SPECTRA VOC Standards are certified to meet the most sophisticated environmental measurement EPA protocols.

In chemicals, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries solvents with low vapour pressures are used. Due to their low vapour pressure they evaporate very fast into our environment. With the increasing environmental awareness VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions control is high on the global agenda nowadays. In order to reduce VOC emissions for environmental benefits and recover valuable solvents for economic benefits, the emission levels of VOCs need to be monitored and measured. VOC can be some of the most difficult environmental pollutants to identify and measure. 

Such measurements require dedicated analytical instruments such as GC-MS (Gas Chromatography – Mass spectrometry). HiQ high purity gases and gas mixtures play a vital role in the operation and calibration of these instruments. High purity helium, nitrogen and hydrogen can be used as carrier gases in GC-MS, and a range of high accuracy gas mixtures can be used in instrumentation calibration. Linde can even offer certificated gas mixtures with components down to ppb (parts per billion) level. For example, SPECTRA VOC Standards offer calibration gas mixtures that are engineered, produced and certified to meet the most sophisticated environmental measurement EPA protocols: TO 14A, TO 15 and TO 17. We also provide custom VOC mixtures to meet the specific requirements of the customers. 

As the reliability of analysis is only as good as the quality of the gas being used, to supply high quality specialty gases, HiQ specialty equipment and gas distribution systems are also essential.
