MAXUM Edition II

With the introduction of the Maxum Edition II, Siemens has further strengthened its position as the global market leader in process gas chromatography.
The Advance Maxum Edition II process gas chromatograph offers more choice in detectors, ovens, network communications and many other hardware than any other process GC.

Process Gas Chromatograph
Maxum Edition II is a process gas chromatograph , so designed for industrial environments and ATEX certified for installation in Zone 1 hazardous locations. The sample conditioning system can be pneumatically controlled directly. Furthermore, the Maxum Edition II offers extensive communication options such as Modbus, Ethernet OPC, Fiber Optics, redundant networks and so on. Airless ovens drastically reduce instrument air and electricity consumption.

Sample applications

Maxum Edition II measures the chemical composition of a wide variety of gases and liquids, in concentrations from ppb to 100 vol%. Maxum is used for process monitoring, product quality control, air monitoring etc.
With an installed base of more than 10,000 (!) Siemens gas chromatographs in all corners of the world, it is very likely that we also have experience with your application.
