| Summary: | <p>Reliable and very sensitive detection of hydrocarbons can be achieved with a
flame ionization detector (FID). Due to the required complex gas
infrastructure for the operation of an FID, these devices have not been
implemented as true field devices yet. Miniaturization by using ceramic
multilayer technology leads to a strong reduction of gas consumption and
allows autonomous operation of the FID with gas supply by electrolysis and
without external gas infrastructure. Therefore, this research enables the use
of the FID in the field. Characterization of this miniaturized FID reveals a
performance comparable to conventional FIDs.</p> |
