A gas chromatography system for the Detailed Hydrocarbon Analysis by component and by group, named DHA, is used to analyze light fractions with final boiling points up to 450°F (225°C). Samples normally analyzed using this technique are virgin napthas, alkylates, FCC gasoline, reformates (charge and product), or gases and liquids from the production of propanes and butanes. Samples containing oxygenated compounds can also be analyzed with this system.

The DHA analyzer classifies the electronic signals accumulated by the data acquisition system and uses that signal to identify individual components present in the sample. Subsequently, it reports the concentrations of the all of the groups specified by the user: Paraffins, Isoparaffins, Aromatics, Olefins, Napthens and Oxygenates. If the system is equipped with a sulfur selective detector, sulfur containing compounds present in the sample are also identified.

The DHA system, is characterized by its totally interactive graphics which permit the overlay of chromatograms to discern even the smallest differences between samples.

The DHA system includes an Agilent 6890 or 6850 Gas Chromatograph equipped with EPC, autosampler, data acquisition system, and Hydrocarbon Expert software; a software specifically designed to bring to the laboratory the ultra-fast data handling capabilities needed to perform this analysis.
