Summary of Test Method4.1 An internal standard, 1-propanol, is added to the sample,which is then intr

19、oduced into a gas chromatograph equippedwith two columns and a flow switching system between thetwo columns. The sample first passes through the polydimeth-ylsiloxane WCOT column that performs a pre-separation of themethanol and 1-propanol and eliminates unwanted hydrocar-bons. The methanol and 1-pr

20、opanol are transferred to theanalytical PLOT column for oxygenates. While the methanoland 1-propanol are eluting from the analytical PLOT columnfor oxygenates, auxiliary carrier gas is used to elute higherboiling crude oil hydrocarbons from the pre-column, either inthe forward or backflush mode, to

21、yield a stable baseline for thenext analysis.5. Significance and Use5.1 Methanol is used in production of crude oil to preventformation of gas hydrates. The presence of residual methanolin crude oils can lead to costly problems in refinery operations.6. Apparatus6.1 ChromatographA multidimensional t

22、wo-WCOT col-umn gas chromatographic system, capable of adequately re-solving methanol and the 1-propanol internal standard and ofeliminating hydrocarbon and other interferences, is requiredfor this analysis. Flow switching between the two specifiedWCOT columns may be accomplished by either using a v

23、alveor pneumatic (pressure) switching to redirect flows. Theunwanted higher boiling hydrocarbons may be removed fromthe pre-column either by forward flush or backward flush. Thesystem requires that carrier gas flow controllers must becapable of precise control for the typical pressures required.Such

24、 flow controllers are available on gas chromatographs.The precision of this test method was obtained using severalinstrument configurations described in 6.1.1 6.1.5. Othermultidimensional configurations may be used, provided thatthey meet all of the requirements of this test method.6.1.1 Configurati
