H2S & Total Sulfur
Analyzers
Tape Transport System801 and 902 analyzers use a common tape chassis unit. It is designed to handle up to350 feet of lead acetate tape. Thestepper motor advances the tapeon microprocessor command. Inthe explosion proof models, themotor is located in an explosionproof box, and connected via ashaft through an explosion proofcoupler. The shaft is fitted with auniversal coupler to reducealignment related problems. In thegeneral purpose unit, the motor ismounted inside the chassis.

H2S and Total Sulfur
Using Lead AcetateThe lead acetate tape method for the detection of hydrogen sulfide (H
2S) in gaseous
streams is based on the established principle that H2S reacts specifically with lead acetate
to form a lead sulfide brown stain. The concentration of H2S is directly proportional to the
rate of change of staining on the lead acetate tape. This principle is the basis for a number
of ASTM methods. It is by far the most reliable and simple way to measure H2S in process.
H2S + Pb ➔ PbS + H
2O
The analyzer moves the treated paper tape one section at a time. Depending on the
sample concentration, the tape will begin to darken at a rate proportional to the
concentration of H2S in the sample stream. The analyzer exposes a fresh section of tape to
the sample inside the sample chamber every 3-4 minutes.
GASI Analyzers are designed with the following in mind:• Low maintenance• Extended tape life• Fast speed of response• Low power consumption• Optional total sulfur measurement
The lead acetate series of analyzers
are third generation systems
designed to meet
increasing demands for
low level measurement in
processes and laboratories.
Sample Chamber Assembly The Sample Chamberhas a removableaperture that can bechanged for variousgas concentrations.Typically, the higher thegas concentration to bemeasured, thesmaller the aperture.This aperture restrictsthe amount of H
2S
reacting on thetape. The photodetector is a siliconphoto diode thatconverts the darkness to anelectric signal amplified at the sensorboard to a 0 to 250 millivolt signal. This signal is scaled at themicroprocessor. The system uses a single light emitting diode(red) as a light source to illuminate the tape.

CalibrationThe system is self zeroing at every tape advance, therefore calibration is only required every 3-4 months.The units can be calibrated manually or automatically with an optional “autocal” solenoid.
Four types of calibration procedures are available:
1. Analyzer Zero: potentiometer adjusting of the sensor balance (self adjusting on 902 series) note: the analyzer reading iszeroed every cycle (3-4 min) since the measurement is based on rate of change.
2. Manual Span Calibration: applying a known gas reference to the analyzer and manually adjusting the gain factor.
3. Manual Calibration with Auto Gain Adjustments: applying a known reference to the analyzer. The analyzer then calculatesthe gain factor internally.
4. Auto Calibration: a known gas sample is continuously connected to the calibration inlet port and measured on a userprogrammed time period. The analyzer automatically calibrates to the known sample.
H2S or COS in a N
2background provides the most stable and convenient calibration source. It is normally recommended to
calibrate the analyzer at 60-80% of scale or close to the most critical value such as the alarm limit. Disposable and refillablebottles are available from most laboratory gas suppliers.

RangeExtensionSystems
Our lead acetate tape analyzers are usually limited to a maximum 50 ppm H2S
concentration at around 100 cc/min sample flow. Galvanic Applied Sciences Inc.offers three types of sample dilution schemes to allow analyzers to measure higherconcentrations up to 100% H
2S. These dilution systems can be mounted at the
analyzer or near the sample point to avoid bringing high concentration H2S or
other sulfurs near the analyzer.
Permeable Membrane DilutionA permeation dilution device (PDD) consists of two chambers formed within a cylindricalhousing by a permeable membrane. The membrane blocks particulates and mist droplets,while allowing only gas or volatile components to transfer into a clean dry carrier gas orliquid sweeping the opposite side of themembrane. Compounds such as H
2S permeate
the membrane at a known rate, proportional toconcentration over a given area. The size of themembrane can be designed to provide a ratiobetween the input and output concentration aslow as 10:1 and up to 10,000:1. These systemshave proven to be very reliable and stable overtime with very little temperature dependency.
Injection Valve DilutionThe injection valve dilution GASI uses employs a chromatograph valve to inject a smallamount of sample at preset intervals into a clean dry carrier gas. The unit is a pure volumedevice and the dilution ratio can be adjusted over a wide range by changing acombination of injection time and injection volume. Inorder to provide a smooth reading, the injection timeshould be 30-60 sec. The injection volumes can varyfrom .5 microliter to .5 cc. The dilution factor is acalculation of volume of injection multiplied by thenumber per minute divided by the dilutant flow(typically 150 cc/minute).
This dilution method can be used in front of the total sulfur analyzer for H2S. Permeable
membrane devices must be installed after the total sulfur oven to function properly andindependently.
Flow Meter DilutionFlow meter dilution uses the combinedflow from two flow meters for sampleand carrier to the analyzer. A dilutionratio is proportional to the flow in eachmeter. A dilution ratio greater than10:1 is not recommended.
Custom SystemsGASI can supply custom designs and field commissioning for their systems. Completeanalyzer shelters, data acquisition, and sample conditioning panels are part of a totalsolution integration to the user.
