High Speed Chromatography Made Simple

PetroPRO can analyze benzene in less than 2 minutes or BTEX in less than seven minutes down to low PPB levels. PetroPRO utilizes photoionization detector which reports sample concentrations from low PPB up to hundreds of PPM.

Two analytical models of PetroPRO available:

Fenceline for perimeter, occupational exposure, and other general measuring requirements
Canister for measuring benzene in the presence of complex and highly concentrated VOC streams

PetroPRO is designed for high-speed analysis of BTEX, but can be modified for analysis of a wide range of VOCs. It weighs less than 15 lbs, is easy to carry with a shoulder strap, and has an internal carrier gas cylinder and battery pack so the instrument can be used in the field without support gas or external power source.

All results are stored in the PetroPRO’s memory for a permanent data archive of the day’s results: no laptop is required in the field. PetroPRO’s built-in graphic display lists the names of detected compounds and the concentration in the sample, eliminating the need to interpret results in the field. An intuitive user interface allows quick and easy changes in the field, if needed. The applications include product fenceline and canister monitoring.

Easy to Use

PetroPRO ELIMINATES method programming and complex data integration
PetroPRO is factory programmed with the GC method and compound library. No method setup required
Direct read display with compound name and concentration eliminates the need for data interpretation/ integration in the field
