An environmental chromatograph from the people who build process chromatographs. You know us. We build first-rate process chromatographs. And now, we're usingthe same technologies t o build environmental chromatographs, too. Same sampling techniques. Same analytical skills. Using hydrogen flame-ionization detectors, our chromatograph detects methane, carbon monoxide and total hydrocarbons. Sensitivity?To an incredible parts per billion. Operation is automatic, too. Concentrations are automatically recorded on a moving strip chart. Our environmental chromatograph is just one weapon in an arsenal of equipment we offer to help you fight the dirty dozen, today's twelve most common air pollutants: total hydrocarbons, NO, NOx, CO, C02, S02, SOS, HIS, mercaptans, phosphorous, OS, "3. Whether you want to tackle one or the whole dirty bunch, we have the detection capability to help YOU do it. The BendixCorporation, Process I nstriments Division, Ronceverte, W. Va. 24970.
