Synspec Alpha 116 gas chromatograph (GC) is built for continuous stack monitoring with high-range detection limits, up to 1000 ppm. Alongside the measurement of greenhouse gas methane, the analyser detects and presents the sum of all other hydrocarbons, ensuring precise measurement of the total air pollution. The method utilised ensures that the instrument does not only measure the concentrations of the greenhouse gas methane but simultaneously presents the sum of all other hydrocarbons, even the ones that are usually difficult to detect such as oxygenated hydrocarbons.

The gas chromatograph contains a compact oven with a column that separates Methane from other hydrocarbons, and features an FID detector, resulting in two distinct peaks: one for methane and one for total non-methane hydrocarbon (TNMHC). The Alpha 116 model has a CE approval for EMC conformity.
