Key Features of Nutech 6300

1. Continuous Monitoring of THC, CH4, and NMHC

The Nutech 6300 is designed for continuous hydrocarbon monitoring, measuring THC, CH4, and NMHC in ambient air or fence-line environments. It is suitable for routine environmental monitoring, industrial boundary monitoring, research applications, and third-party testing laboratories.

2. FID Detection for Reliable Hydrocarbon Analysis

The system uses Flame Ionization Detection (FID), a well-established detection method for hydrocarbon measurement. FID provides strong response to hydrocarbons and is widely used for air quality and VOC-related monitoring applications.

3. Low Detection Limit for Trace-Level Monitoring

With a detection limit of 5 ppbC for NMHC and 100 ppbC for CH4, the Nutech 6300 is suitable for low-concentration ambient air monitoring and applications where trace-level hydrocarbon changes need to be captured.

4. Fast Analysis Cycle

The system completes each analysis in less than 15 minutes, supporting near-real-time trend tracking and long-term unattended monitoring.

5. Good Precision and Accuracy

The Nutech 6300 provides RSD below ±2% and accuracy within ±5%, helping laboratories and monitoring stations obtain consistent and defensible data for routine monitoring programs.

6. Automated Calibration with Optional 2207 Dynamic Dilutor

When paired with the Nutech 2207 Precision Dynamic Dilutor, the system can automatically switch between different standard gas concentrations and control the standard gas supply. This supports automated calibration workflows and reduces manual operation.

7. Inert, Heated, and Humidified Flow Path Design

The optional 2207 diluter uses inert-treated internal pipelines and fittings, with heating and humidification functions to help reduce sample loss, contamination, and adsorption. This helps improve sample representativeness, especially for low-level monitoring.

8. Integrated Software for Operation, Calibration, and Data Review

The operating software supports sequence setup, sample analysis, chromatogram review, standard curve fitting, data export, historical data query, and concentration trend display for THC, CH4, and NMHC. Users can manage both routine analysis and calibration from one software platform.

9. Multiple Data Output Interfaces

The system supports 4–20 mA, 0–5 V DC, and RS232 data interfaces, making it easier to integrate with online monitoring platforms, data acquisition systems, and environmental monitoring networks.

10. Complete System Configuration Available

The Nutech 6300 can be configured as a complete online monitoring system with the 6300 analyzer, 2207 precision dynamic diluter, zero air generator, hydrogen generator, computer, and system cabinet. This allows users to deploy a practical turnkey solution for online THC, CH4, and NMHC monitoring.

FAQ

The Nutech 6300 is designed for continuous monitoring of Total Hydrocarbons (THC), Methane (CH4), and Non-Methane Hydrocarbons (NMHC) in ambient air and fence-line monitoring applications. It is suitable for environmental monitoring stations, industrial parks, third-party laboratories, research institutes, and other organizations that require long-term hydrocarbon monitoring.

The Nutech 6300 uses Flame Ionization Detection (FID). FID is a widely used detection method for hydrocarbon analysis because it provides stable and sensitive response to organic carbon compounds.

The system is mainly used to measure THC, CH4, and NMHC. It is not designed for compound-by-compound VOC identification like GC-MS. Instead, it provides total hydrocarbon and methane/non-methane hydrocarbon monitoring data.

The detection limit is 5 ppbC for NMHC and 100 ppbC for CH4, making the system suitable for trace-level hydrocarbon monitoring in ambient air and fence-line environments.

Each analysis can be completed in less than 15 minutes. This allows the system to provide frequent monitoring data for long-term trend analysis and online monitoring applications.

Yes. When configured with the optional Nutech 2207 Precision Dynamic Dilutor, the system can automatically switch between different standard gas concentrations and support automated calibration workflows.

The 2207 dilutor improves calibration convenience and reduces manual work. Its internal pipelines and fittings are inert-treated, and the system supports heating and humidification functions to help reduce sample contamination, adsorption, and loss.

The Nutech 6300 supports 4–20 mA, 0–5 V DC, and RS232 data interfaces. These interfaces make it easier to connect the analyzer to data acquisition systems, online monitoring platforms, or environmental monitoring networks.

The operating software supports sequence setup, sample analysis, chromatogram viewing, standard curve fitting, data export, historical data query, and concentration trend display for THC, CH4, and NMHC.

Yes. The software allows users to query historical data and display concentration trends for THC, CH4, and NMHC. Users can also view annual, monthly, and daily average data depending on the software settings.

Recommended maintenance includes regular trap baking or replacement, sampling filter replacement, standard gas verification, and maintenance of gas generators if used. The manual recommends annual system maintenance, while some consumables have shorter replacement intervals depending on use.

A complete Nutech 6300 monitoring system may include the 6300 Online NMHC Analyzer, 2207 Precision Dynamic Dilutor, zero air generator, hydrogen generator, computer, software, and system cabinet. This configuration forms a practical online monitoring solution for THC, CH4, and NMHC analysis.
