About The Maxum II, Continued
The Maxum edition II gas chromatograph is primarily used in all
branches of the fine chemicals, refining and hydrocarbon processing
industries. It performs chemical composition analysis of gases and
liquids that are present in all phases of production. The Maxum II is built
for installation in harsh environments either directly or nearby in at-line
process measurement laboratories. Its application flexibility allows it to
analyze samples of feedstock, partially processed streams, final
products and process byproducts including wastes and environmental
hazards.
Intended Use
