Petrochemical

Petrochemicals are chemicals originating from natural gas or petroleum. These chemicals are used for a wide variety of applications and are a significant source of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) impact. For example, the GHG methane (CH₄) is a primary component of natural gas. Natural gas is used in the production processes of petrochemicals such as ethylene, a fruit ripening agent and plastic component, as well as ammonia (NH₃), used primarily in fertilizers. The GHG carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a byproduct of petrochemical manufacturing and a significant source of climate change. Monitoring activities may help to identify gas sources, ensure safety, or confirm compliance.

Peripherals

Product	Model	Measurements
Combustion Module The Combustion Module, designed for Picarro by Costech (a leader in combustion systems), combusts solid samples as small as 250mg C to release CO2 gas. The Combustion Module is connected to a Picarro isotopic analyzer via the Picarro Caddy (A2100) or the Picarro Liaison™ Universal Interface (A0301) for high-precision carbon isotope (13C) measurements from carbon dioxide.	A0201	Isotopic Carbon Dioxide (iCO₂)
AutoMate Prep Device When a Picarro δ13C-CO2 analyzer is coupled with an Automate FX sample preparation device, the system provides δ13C measurements of the dissolved inorganic carbon in water samples or δ13C in solid carbonate samples. The AutoMate Prep Device adds phosphoric acid to the samples to liberate CO2, which flows to the Picarro for δ13C-CO2 analysis.	A0302	Isotopic Carbon Dioxide (iCO₂)
16-Port Distribution Manifold The Picarro 16-Port Distribution Manifold provides unparalleled multiport sample-data collection.	A0311	Carbon Monoxide (CO) Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Methane (CH₄) Ethane (C₂H₆) Acetylene (C₂H₂)
Small Sample Introduction Module 2 High-precision δ¹³C measurements of small volume CO₂ and CH₄ gas samples.	A0314	Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Methane (CH₄) Nitrous Oxide (N₂O) Water (H₂O) Isotopic Carbon Dioxide (iCO₂)
