Small size, big performance – MicroSAMWhether you want to refurbish an existing system orare planning a greenfield project, space-saving is alwaysan important issue in the process industry, and a clearcase for MicroSAM. If the micro process GC is installedtogether with traditional process gas chromatographs(PGCs), significantly smaller analyzer shelters are requiredat significantly reduced costs. When combined with auser-friendly remote operation concept, the MicroSAMallows for field-mounted operation directly at thesampling point. This is particularly advantageous in thoseinstallations where analyzer shelters cannot be used forreasons of space or cost. But the MicroSAM is not only anattractive solution in these situations. It is also recommendedfor installation at remote locations with limitedinfrastructure and restricted maintenance potential.• Lower operational costs due to reduced carrier gas andpower consumption; no instrument air necessary• Protection from sun and rain is provided by a canopy or asimple enclosure, rather than using an analyzer shelter• Shorter sample infeed, return, and waste lines• Lower sample extraction volume• Reduced engineering and installation time and costs• Use of MAXUM edition II software reduces trainingrequirements• Communication interfaces and network connection asfor the MAXUM edition IIThe MicroSAM offers considerable economic advantageswhen compared to traditional PGCs, both in the initialinvestment and life-cycle costs:• Simple analyzer maintenance, even without expertknowledge• Fast and simple replacement of the analysis moduleinstead of replacing or repairing individual analyticcom ponentsMAXUM or MicroSAM: Which device is best suited to my application?Do you have an application where space in theanalyzer shelter is a critical factor?Do you need a solution which can be integratedinto your complete system without a great dealof investment cost?Are you looking for a device which can taketime-critical measurements as part of complexapplications?Do you find that device maintenance takesa long time and is very complicated?Do you need a gas chromatograph for sampleswith complex compositions, trace detection orfor liquid samples?The most up-to-date silicon-based micromechanics are integratedinto the MicroSAM. This allows the size of the deviceto be reduced to that of a football while increasing its performanceat the same time.The compact and rugged design of the MicroSAM means itcan be integrated into the process environment simply andcost-effectively.The parallel chromatography of the MAXUM edition II enablesthe distribution of complex applications to several simple units,which shortens analysis times and improves the device serviceability.The average maintenance time for the MicroSAM and MAXUMedition II modular oven is half an hour. And the service can becarried out by staff with practically no training. This increasesthe availability of your plant.The MAXUM edition II enables applications like temperatureprogrammedanalyses, trace analyses with special detectors orthe analysis of liquid, complete and undecomposed vaporizablesamples.5
