Online TDU/Pyrolysis - GC-MS/MS

Gerstel Thermal Desorption & Pyrolysis unit coupled to a Thermo Quantum XLS QqQ via a Trace GC for the analysis of volatiles and for polymer analysis.

Thermovaporisation & pyrolysis GC-FID

Quantum MSSV-2 Thermal Analysis system coupled to an Agilent GC-FID  for whole-oil characterization, the analysis of volatile hydrocarbons in source rock bitumens and oils and the quantification of source rock potential.

Offline Micro-scale-sealed-vessel (MSSV) oven

Pyrolysis in small- and large-scale evacuated glasstubes for the determination of (source rock) reaction kinetics.

Source Rock Analyzer (SRA)

Humble (/ Weatherford) SRA for characterization of org-C content, bitumen/oil content, release potential and bulk kinetic parameters (comparable to 'Rock Eval').

MSSV-HY

Catalytic hydrogen-donating MSSV method to (chemically) reduce pyrolysis products and generate results equal to much more complicated HyPy instrumentation.
