Chromatotec’s MEDOR Exp: Online Sulfur Monitoring for Hazardous Areas
The CHROMATOTEC® MEDOR® Exp offers continuous online analysis of sulfur compounds in natural and biogas feeds, with detection limits as low as 1 ppb. The system analyzes all naturally occurring sulfur compounds like H2S, methyl and ethyl mercaptans, and various odorant blends. It leverages proven GC technology, refined over 35 years, for odorization, quality control, and safety applications across diverse processes.
The MEDOR Exp is an automatic and isothermal gas chromatograph dedicated to analyzing sulfur compounds (H2S, mercaptans, and sulfides) in various matrices. It comes in two versions:
- MEDOR Exp ppm: Measures sulfur concentrations at ppm levels.
- MEDOR Exp ppb: Measures sulfur concentrations at ppb levels.
Operating Principle:
- Designed for hazardous areas with Ex enclosure.
- Continuously monitors internal temperature and pressure.
- Automatic valve injects samples using a loop.
- Detection employs a gas-liquid reaction for high specificity, eliminating interferences.
- Sulfur-specific detector boasts a lifespan exceeding 10 years.
Key Features:
- Complies with ASTM D7493-08: Standard Test Method for Online Measurement of Sulfur Compounds in Natural Gas and Gaseous Fuels.
- Fully automatic and continuous online analyzer housed in a hazardous area enclosure.
- Integrated industrial computer for on-site data processing.
- Stores chromatograms with timestamps for traceability.
- Utilizes VISTACHROM® software, a Chromatotec-developed system enabling:
- Remote monitoring and injection control.
- Full traceability with onboard archiving of results.
- Setting up and controlling QC (Quality Control) and threshold alarms.
- Exporting data in various formats (MODBUS / MGS1 / 4-20mA / 0-10V).

Application
Odorization Application : The MEDOR® Exp is designed to monitor all commercially available odorant and mercaptan blends. It facilitates continuous analysis and control of odorant injection systems in natural gas, landfill gas, and biogas facilities. The integrated software automatically transfers all results and data to a host system.
Process Monitoring – Gas Cleaning & Desulfurization : Processes involving sulfur removal, such as landfill or biogas treatment before pipeline injection, necessitate meticulous monitoring and control. With a detection limit as low as 1 ppb H2S, the MEDOR® Exp provides unparalleled security for process monitoring.
The internal multiplexer allows for monitoring both pre- and post-treatment stages using a single analysis system. VistaChrom, the integrated software, features concentration-based alarm thresholds that trigger safety measures in case of process failures.
Natural gas destined for cracking processes can be effortlessly monitored automatically to safeguard catalytic plants. The internal permeation system offers automatic validation of results and data.
Pipeline Quality Control: The MEDOR® Exp is widely used for monitoring sulfur content in natural gas storage and transportation. Unodorized gas can be analyzed for natural sulfur species before and during transport or storage.
