PID Detection in the Petrochemical Industry

Posted by Rhys Redrup

PID (or “photoionization detector”. ) detection uses ultraviolet light to ionize VOC molecules in order to measure a resulting electric current. This simple method allows PIDs to detect VOCs at ultra-low levels, from parts per billion (ppb) to parts per million (ppm). Most industry insiders know that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) evaporate rapidly when emitted...

What gases are created in brewing and distilling?

Posted by Rhys Redrup

The main gases created in brewing and distilling are carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethanol (C2H5OH). Carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced by yeast during fermentation when it converts the sugars in the wort (the liquid that is made from mashing the grains) into alcohol and CO2. The amount of CO2 produced depends on the type of...
