Before you begin the Installation

2.1 Gas requirements

2.1.1 Recommended gases

The carrier gas you use depends on the type of detector and the performance requirements.
See table 2-1 for the recommended gases for the Hi-Speed Refinery GAS analyzer.

Only very low ppm levels (0.5 ppm) of oxygen and total hydrocarbons should be present in
the gas supplies. Oil-pumped air supplies are not recommended because they may contain
large amounts of hydrocarbons. The addition of high-quality moisture, hydrocarbon, and
oxygen traps immediately after the main tank pressure is highly recommended. Refer to the
section "Gas Supply" of the Agilent GC Site Preparation Checklist for more information on
using traps.

Table 2-1: Gas Purity Recommendations

Function Gas type Pre-pressure Purity
Carrier gas Helium 6 bar / 90 psi 99.995% (4.5)
Nitrogen 6 bar/ 90 psi 99.995% (4.5)
FID support gases Hydrogen 5 bar / 75 psi 99.995% (4.5)
Air 5 bar / 75 psi Zero-grade or better

It is possible to use a compressor for the air supply. The air must be free of water and oil for
the FID. The compressor must be capable to supply sufficient air to maintain a 3 bar
pressure.

Hi-Speed Refinery GAS analyzer - Operating Manual Page 6 of 52

Before you begin the Installation

2.1.2 Carrier gas filters

Oxygen and moisture in the carrier gas will result in rapid column stationary phase oxidation,
which causes a short lifetime and which may cause catalytic conversions in certain columns.
The installation of a high-quality filter is suggested to reduce the oxygen and water content of
the carrier gas. Oxygen will diffuse through certain types of diaphragms, valve seals, etc. It is
recommended to install the filter near the gas chromatograph.

The FID is very sensitive to hydrocarbons. If hydrocarbons are present in any of the gasses
in quantities greater than the trace amounts, baseline noise will result. Charcoal filters will
filter out hydrocarbon impurities.

The helium and hydrogen gas lines must be made of stainless steel or copper.
The gas fittings are located at the rear of the gas chromatograph. All of the gas connections
are 1/8 inch male Swagelok fittings. The helium, hydrogen and nitrogen lines are connected
directly to the GC.

Installing Hi-Speed Refinery GAS analyzer

3 Installing Hi-Speed Refinery GAS analyzer

This procedure must be followed when installing the analyzer for the first time or moving it to
a different location. If the analyzer is already installed, it is advised to run the validation
procedure (see chapter 3.4). This will make sure the analyzer has been installed correctly
and is working within given specifications. Refer to the 7890A GC installation Poster and to
the 7890A GC User information for installation information.

3.1 Prepare
Please make sure you are ready to begin the installation. See chapter 2: Before you begin
the installation for details.

Make sure that all power inlets are configured for the supplied voltage.

3.2 Install
The AC Hi-Speed Refinery GAS analyzer system consists of a number of basic hardware
parts and dedicated software for operation and data handling.

3.2.1 Placing the instrument

The analyzer must be installed in a reasonable accessible area with sufficient space. The
dimensions of the instrument are:
 Width: Approximately 2.1 meters (7 feet) for the complete system.
 Depth: Approximately 0.6 meters (2 feet) for the complete system.
 Height: Approximately 0.8 meters (2 feet 8 inches) for the complete system.
 Weight: 70 KG (155 lb.)

Place the GC in such a way that the rear side is accessible. The cables to the PC and the
gas lines are connected at the rear side of the GC.

The Gas Chromatograph will vent hot (185 °C) oven air from the rear of the
Gas Chromatograph when the oven is cooling down to ambient temperature.
Ensure that nothing is placed behind the gas chromatograph that should not
come in contact with the hot exhaust air. Agilent manufactures an "Oven
Exhaust Deflector” (AC part no. 59.40.200) that deflects the exhaust air away
from the rear of the gas chromatograph. This device is easily and quickly
attached to the rear of the gas chromatograph. Please contact your local AC
office to order / install this device.

Do not switch the oven on before all electrical and gas connections have
been completed and checked for leaks.

3.2.2 Connect gases

The gas fittings are located on the rear of the gas chromatograph. All of the gas connections
are 1/8 inch male Swagelok fittings. Each of the connections is marked for the correct gas.
Please make the following connections:

• Helium carrier to the Front, Aux1, Aux2 and Aux TCD

• Hydrogen fuel gas to the FID
• Nitrogen carrier for Aux 3 and reference flow for Back TCD

3.2.2.1 Check the gas connections

Check that all gas lines are properly installed and all gas connections are leak tight.

Hydrogen is a flammable gas. If hydrogen or any other flammable gas is

used, periodic leak tests should be performed. Be sure that the hydrogen
supply is off until all connections are made, and ensure that the inlet fittings
are connected.
A Hydrogen flame is invisible!

All gases are dangerous when compressed. Do not store gas cylinders where
they might be dropped or exposed to excess heat. Always direct the flow of
compressed gases away from people.

The electrical power to the complete system should still be turned off.

The FID air supply should be zero grade to prevent excessive baseline noise.

The helium and hydrogen gas lines must be made out of stainless steel or
copper tubing. Teflon tubing must not be used for these gases. When using
Teflon tubing for the air connections, make sure not to over-tighten the
connection. The tubing may be squeezed too tight causing a restriction for
the air.

3.2.3 Preparing PC and printer

It is advised to place the PC close to the instrument. Make sure the PC is meeting the
specifications and is suited for your needs (see chapter 2). Setup the PC as instructed by the
supplier. If desired connect the PC to the corporate network. Windows should be installed,
licensed and configured correctly.

To prevent data loss, Windows must be configured as follows:

 Power options must be set to ‘Always on’
 Automatic updates (or any other application) must not restart the PC automatically

Make sure a printer is installed. This can be either a local or a network printer.

Contact local IT support before connecting the PC to your corporate network.

3.3 Startup
After the gas and electrical connections are made, you can switch on the 7890 GC.
Particularly when the instrument is just installed, it is important to flush the system with
carrier gas for some time to remove most of the air out of the instrument. Do not heat up a
thermal zone when flushing the system during startup. Then it may still take several runs
before the system is free of air and it may take several days before the system is free of
moisture.

The following instructions assume that you use the GC key panel to set temperatures and
flows.

The AC Hi-Speed Refinery GAS analyzer is completely tested and calibrated

prior to shipment. Copies of all test data and flow settings are included on the
accompanying CD-ROM. The system should not require major re-adjustment.

AC Refinery Gas analyzers come with pre-installed and validated columns

The following procedure assumes standard instrument configuration.

3.3.1 Procedure

1. Switch on the 7890 GC.

2. Set the air pressure for the actuators at ±3 bar with the air actuator control regulator
at the back of the GC (see figure 3-1)
3. Press Oven and press Off for the temperature.
4. Press Column 1, scroll down to the flow line. Make sure that a flow is set (when
turned off, type 5.1 and press <Enter>).
5. Press EPC (1,2,3) Select EPC 1 and make sure that a pressure is set (when turned
off, type 360 and press <enter>). Repeat for EPC 2 (360) and EPC 3 (350).
6. Let flow run through the instrument for at least 10 minutes.
7. Press Oven and press On to turn the Oven temperature on.
8. Press Front detector (FID) and set temperature and all flows on
9. Press Back Detector (TCD) and set temperature and reference flow on
10. Press Aux Detector (TCD) and set temperature and reference flow on
11. Turn on Aux 1 and Aux 2 and front inlet temperature by pressing the successive zone
keys.

See for the actual flows, pressures and temperatures chapter 4: Actual
settings of the analyzer in the supplied factory test documentation with the
analyzer.

3.4 Validate
The next checks can be executed to validate Hi-Speed Refinery GAS analyzer installation.

 After power-on, the GC will become ready within reasonable time.

 The GC replies to ping requests from the PC. (On the PC open an command prompt
and type ping <IP>, where <IP> is the IP address of the GC)
 The printer is working correctly. This can be verified by printing a test page.

3.5 Needle valve Tuning

In the Hi-Speed are two Needle valves located which have to be tuned with the startup of the
instrument or after column 6 conditioning (13X column) or column 6 replacement.(See
chapter 6.1)

Needle valve 1: Restriction to vent

Needle valve 2: Column 6 Bypass

Both Needle valves are located inside the left side. (See chapter 6.1 figure 6-
2 and 6-4). Needle valve 1 is located at the back of the front plate of the left
side.

3.5.1 Restriction to vent needle valve adjustment

a. Set V4 OFF
b. Change the Aux1 pressure (~ 360kPa) till the measured flow of ~12ml/min is
reached on the TCD Vent (Reference flow off).
c. Set the same pressure for Aux 2 as for Aux 1
d. Adjust the needle valve till l flow of ~12ml/min is reached on the Helium Vent

TCD Vent and Helium (He) Vent are located at the rear of the leftside.

3.5.2 Column 6 bypass needle valve adjustment (needle valve or fixed

restriction)
a. Set V5 OFF
b. Change the Aux1 pressure (~ 360kPa) till the measured flow of ~12ml/min is
reached on the TCD Vent (Reference flow off).
c. Switch V5 ON.
d. Adjust the needle valve or fixed restriction (squeezing the tubing) till the flow is
within ±0,5ml/min difference of the measured flow in V5 off position.

TCD Vent is located at the rear of the left side.

3.5.2.1 Needle valve column 6 bypass adjustment procedure

o Remove the nut with two wrenches

o Remove the cap and O-ring
o Adjust the needle valve with a screw driver
o Replace the O-ring, cap and Nut

It is recommended to replace the O-ring every time the needle valve is

adjusted, preventing the needle valve going to leak, which causes retention
time shifts on the Aux channel (CO2) in the first runs of the day.

Over the past different configurations have been used regarding the use of
needle valves in the system configuration. See the factory test documentation
applied with the analyzer for the used system configuration. See chapter 3.5
for needle valve adjustments if columns are conditioned or replaced.

Valve 1 is used to make reproducible and operator-independent injections. Valve 1 blocks

the gas sample flow to the sample loops after flushing, allowing the pressure in the sample
loops to become atmospheric.

Valve 1 is configured as a switching valve in the Chemstation method and the on/off settings
are in the Chemstation runtable. This allows the user to start the analysis from GasXLNC™
sequence editor. In the Chemstation method the injection source is manual. This means that
the analysis is always started by pressing the start button on the GC.

6.3 Analysis description

The AC Hi-Speed RGA determines helium, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide,
carbon dioxide, C1-C5 hydrocarbons and C6+ in 7.5 minutes. The system contains six
columns and is subdivided into three separate channels. One channel determines all
hydrocarbons, a second channel determines hydrogen, and the third channel is used to
determine oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The first channel uses a
temperature program, the other two channels are run isothermally.

6.3.1 Front (FID) Channel

This channel consists of one six-port gas sampling valve, one six-port back flush valve, a
capillary pre column (column 1), and a capillary Aluminum oxide Plot column (column 2)
configured in series. Helium gas is utilized as a carrier gas. An electronic flow regulator
controls the flow, and a FID detects the components.

The sample is introduced into the system using a sample loop that can be switched into the
flow using Valve 2. The contents of the sample loop is then transferred to the split/splitless
inlet. Here it is mixed with carrier gas and a small portion is transferred to the pre column. On
this column a pre separation takes place. Just before the elution of n-Hexane from this
column to the aluminum oxide Plot column, Valve 6 is switched. Now the flow on the pre
column is reversed and simultaneously the pre column is placed behind the aluminum oxide
Plot column. N-Hexane (and any heavier components) are now back flushed from the pre
column to the detector, followed by the hydrocarbon compounds on the aluminum oxide
column that are separated in a temperature programmed oven run.

6.3.2 Back (TCD) Channel

The third channel consists of one ten-port valve and one combined HayeSep/Molsieve
column (column 5). The carrier gas is Nitrogen, and a constant pressure regulator (Aux 3)
controls the flow. Detection is performed by TCD 2B.

After the sample has been introduced into the system by switching Valve 3 ON, Helium and
Hydrogen are separated on the HayeSep/Molsieve column. After the elution of Hydrogen, the
heavier components are back flushed to the detector. This is done by switching Valve 3 Off.

6.3.3 Aux (TCD) Channel

The second TCD channel consists of one ten-port valve, one six-port valve, two HayeSep
columns and a Molsieve 13X column. The carrier gas is helium, and two electronic constant
pressure regulators (Aux 1 and Aux 2) control the flows. Detection is performed by a TCD.

After the sample is introduced into the system by switching valve 4 ON. Oxygen, Nitrogen,
Methane and Carbon monoxide quickly pass both HayeSep columns (columns 3 and 4) and
elute onto the Molsieve column (column 6). Here these components are trapped by switching
Valve 5 On.

Then carbon dioxide, C2 Hydrocarbons and Hydrogen Sulfide elutes from the HayeSep Q
column (column 3) to the HayeSep N column (column 4.) Just after the elution of Hydrogen
Sulfide from the Haysep N column, Valve 4 is switched OFF, back flushing all remaining
components from the HayeSep Q column to vent. In the meantime Carbon dioxide and
Hydrogen Sulfide are separated on the HayeSep N column and detected by TCD 3C.

After the elution of Carbon dioxide from the HayeSep N, the Molsieve column is put in flow
again and the permanent gases are separated and detected by TCD 3C.

Operation

6.4 Operation
The AC Hi-Speed analyzer uses the Gasxlnc fully integrated with the data system in a
Microsoft Windows environment to control all GC functions. This integrated software package
automates all aspects of the calibration, calculation and customized reporting.

The Agilent Chemstation method: RGA_HIX.m takes care of instrument controlIt is used for
all Gas sample analysis (GSV). LPG.m is used for Liquid Samples (LSV), Front channel only.

For detailed information on how to operate the Agilent Chemstation, refer to

the Agilent Chemstation Help file.

GasXLNC is used for Data handling and calibration. Integration is done by the Chemstation
method.

For detailed information how to operate the GasXLNC software, refer to the
GasXLNC operator manual

The tuned Database is applied with the system on the methods and data CD.
To use the database provided on the CD, copy the “database”-file to the
folder C:\Temp (create if it doesn’t exist). Start the GasXLNC™ software.
Restore the database from the File menu. Browse to the “c:\temp” folder,
select the “bak”-file and click OK. Close the software when done.

6.4.1 Sample preparation and sample handling

The next procedure describes the step-by-step sample introduction.
(Normally open gas sampling valve V1)
 Connect the calibration or gas sample cylinder to the “Gas sample in” connection at the
left side of the GC.
 Connect approximately 0.5-meter steel tubing to the “Gas sample out” connection at the
left side of the GC.
 Create a sequence line in the GasXLNC software, start the analysis and wait till the
GasXLNC control engine icon is green. See Chapter 3 of the GasXLNC Operator manual
for instruction on how to create a sequence.
 Press the PrepRun button on the GC.
 Flush the inlet tubing and sample loop with the gas for at least 1 minute with a flow of
approximately 50 ml/min.
 When the GC is ready for analysis: Press the START button on the GC to start the
analysis.
- The automatic sample shut off valve closes and the pressure in the sample loops
drop to atmospheric.
- At 0.1 minute the sample loop valves switch ON and the sample enters into the
system.
 At 0.2 min the sample shut off valve is opened. Close and disconnect the sample gas
cylinder.

Operation

6.5 Calibration
Use GasXLNC for the calibration of your components. Refer to the operating manual of
GasXLNC for more information regarding calibration.

It is recommended that to calibrate on a regular basis. The system consists of three

detectors, one FID and two TCDs. The absolute response factors for each detector are
determined with calibration standards.

Because the GAS XLNC operates on mole percentages, the concentrations

must be specified in mole %.

The concentration of the calibration components must be within a 10%

window of the concentration of same components in the samples to be
analyzed. A good practice is too bracket your sample with a multilevel
calibration using calibration concentrations just below and above the final
concentration of the sample components.

6.5.1 Calibration Procedure

1 Create a calibration set for your calibration gases
2 Use Gas XLNC to inject the calibration gas containing all compounds on both channels.

Set the sequence event for the first calibration analysis to “Start new
calibration”.

3 Perform more calibration runs if you wish to average the response factors.
4 Use the calibration browser to view the calibration points in a plot and to discard
analyses that are faulty.
5 Recalibrate the calibration set if analyses are removed or updated.

6.5.2 Reports
There are standard report options in the GasXLNC software to present the sample or
calibration results like: Overall Report 7890 (with signal plots) or Small Report (components
results only) For Sample analysis special calculations are added to the reports.

To customize, add or remove calculations to the report, see the GasXLNC

operator manual for more detailed information.

6.6 LPG Analysis

Optionally the Hi-Speed Refinery Gas Analyzer can be configured with a seventh valve, a
liquid sampling valve for LPG analysis.

In that case, the liquid sampling valve is located in the left-hand side compartment of the
chromatograph and is controlled by valve 7.

Figure 6-9 Detail of Hi-Speed Refinery Gas Analyzer with Liquid Sampling Valve
flow diagram
The LPG sample is injected through the liquid sampling valve, enters the split/splitless inlet
Here it is mixed with carrier gas and a small portion is transferred to the pre column. On this
column a pre separation takes place. Just before the elution of n-Hexane from this column to
the aluminum oxide Plot column, Valve 6 is switched. Now the flow on the pre column is
reversed and simultaneously the pre column is placed behind the aluminum oxide Plot
column. N-Hexane (and any heavier components) are now back flushed from the pre column
to the detector, followed by the hydrocarbon compounds on the aluminum oxide column that
are separated in a temperature programmed oven run.

6.6.1 Calibration
LPG Analysis uses relative response factors, therefore no calibration is needed.

Hi-Speed Refinery GAS analyzer - Operating Manual Page 41 of 52

Operation

6.6.2 Operation
The next procedure describes the step-by-step sample introduction done by a liquid sampling
valve.

1. Verify the pressure of the sample cylinder. The pressure should be lower than the rating
of the BPR (< 375 psi / 25,8 bar).

If the pressure inside the sample cylinder is higher than the rating of the BPR,
you will not be able to supply enough back pressure. The result will be that the
BPR stays “open”, resulting in continuous flow of sample until the pressure inside
the sample cylinder is equal to the set pressure of the BPR.

2. Connect approximately 0.5-meter steel tubing to the “Liquid sample out”.

Always connect the outlet of the sample line to a Fume hood, because the
samples are likely to be flammable and cause an explosion hazard when
mixed with air.

3. Connect the liquid sample cylinder to the “Liquid Sample in” connection at the left side of
the GC.

Hi-Speed Refinery GAS analyzer - Operating Manual Page 42 of 52

Operation

4. Increase the back pressure of the BPR almost completely by turning the handle
clockwise.

5. Start the analysis from the data system:

a. Create a sequence line in the GasXLNC software, start the analysis and wait till
the GasXLNC control engine icon is green. (See Chapter 3 of the GasXLNC
Operator manual for instruction on how to create a sequence.)
b. If no GasXLNC software is used, start the analysis directly from the used data
system.

6. Press the PrepRun button on the GC.

7. Open the liquid sample cylinder slowly.

Check if there is no fluid or gas coming out of the GC sample outlet tubing. If
there is gas/liquid coming out, the sample pressure is higher than the BPR
range. See step 1.

8. Flush the sample tubing and sample loop until liquid fluid comes out of the sample out.
Do this, by slowly decreasing the back pressure of the BPR (turning the handle counter
clockwise). If the applied back pressure drops below the sample pressure, the BPR will
“open”.

Hi-Speed Refinery GAS analyzer - Operating Manual Page 43 of 52

Operation

9. After the samples lines have been flushed with a couple of mL sample, increase the back
pressure of the BPR again (by turning the handle clockwise), until (almost) no sample
comes out.

A BPR is not a shut-off valve!

10. When the GC is ready for analysis: Press the START button on the GC to start the
analysis.

11. Close the sample cylinder.

12. After the injection, decrease the back pressure of the BPR almost completely by turning
the green handle counter clockwise to flush the remaining sample out of the sample line.

After decreasing the back pressure completely, always turn the green handle
a half turn back (clockwise) to prevent the stem of the BPR getting stuck.

13. Disconnect the sample cylinder.

Check if the liquid check loop is empty and no gas is coming out of the GC
sample outlet tubing, before disconnecting any connection line.

6.6.3 Report
There is one standard report in the GasXLNC software to present the sample results: LPG
Report. For Sample analysis special calculations are added to the reports.

To customize, add or remove calculations to the report, see the GasXLNC

operator manual for more detailed information.
