PAC Launches SeNSe²: The Next Generation of Sulfur and Nitrogen Detection for Gas Chromatography

Houston, Texas, U.S.A. (April 4, 2024) – Petroleum Analyzer Company, L.P. (PAC) announces the launch of SeNSe², its latest sulfur/nitrogen selective detector for gas chromatography (GC) applications. Sulfur and nitrogen detection are necessary in various processes across diverse market spaces. Addressing the need for speciation beyond total content reporting, SeNSe² uses chemiluminescence detection methods to achieve enhanced sensitivity, baseline stability, equimolarity, and optimized flexibility needed for seamless integration into laboratory environments.

Designed for ease of use, SeNSe² simplifies speciated sulfur and nitrogen detection, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, safeguarding catalysts, improving product quality, and creating safer working conditions.

SeNSe² reduces troubleshooting time with its innovative G-Cal permeation device, and maintenance is made easier with removable panels and fast ceramics replacement. Its touchscreen interface provides valuable insights into detector diagnostics and error logs, contributing to a user-friendly experience. Moreover, SeNSe² is compatible with most manufacturers’ GCs, ensuring hassle-free installation.

SeNSe² can be used in a simple configuration or as part of a turnkey solution for various applications, including natural gas, benzene, light petroleum liquids, and more. Custom applications, such as carbonyl sulfide in propylene gas and nitric oxide in ethylene, are also available upon request.

“Addressing the critical need for constant monitoring of sulfur and nitrogen species in refining processes, SeNSe² ensures accurate and reliable detection, even at the lowest levels. With unparalleled sensitivity, linearity, and long-term stability, SeNSe² is poised to revolutionize sulfur and nitrogen detection in gas chromatography applications.”
− Nicole M. Lock, Chemical and Atomic Analysis Group Product Manager at PAC

In terms of detection capabilities, SeNSe² excels in both low limit detection and linearity. It can detect concentrations below 0.15 pgS/sec and maintains four decades of linearity, setting a new standard in sulfur and nitrogen detection for gas chromatography applications.
