Multi-level gas chromatograph analyzer simulator covering advanced fault diagnosis and full chromatogram interpretation. Designed for instrumentation technicians and process engineers working with online analytical equipment in the field.
The GC Analyzer Training Simulator puts technicians and engineers through realistic gas chromatograph fault scenarios in a completely safe, browser-based environment. No access to a real GC unit is required — the simulator replicates the decision-making process of diagnosing faults and interpreting chromatograms from actual field instruments.
Gas chromatographs are critical analytical instruments in petrochemical, refinery and natural gas processing facilities. Misdiagnosis of GC faults leads to costly downtime, inaccurate product quality data and potential safety risks. This simulator builds competency before technicians work on the real thing.
Identify tailing, fronting, split peaks and ghost peaks — each indicates a specific fault in the column or injection system.
Unexpected changes in component retention time point to carrier gas flow issues, oven temperature drift or column degradation.
A noisy, drifting or elevated baseline often indicates detector contamination, electrical interference or carrier gas impurities.
Missing peaks, reduced sensitivity or saturated signals help diagnose TCD, FID or FPD detector faults in process GC units.
Trainees are presented with fault symptoms and instrument readings. They must work through a structured diagnostic sequence to identify the root cause — without being given the answer. Scenarios reflect real plant conditions and common failure modes seen in the field.
The highest level. Trainees are shown a live-style chromatogram output and must diagnose what's wrong from the data alone — no textual clues. This mirrors the real-world task of an experienced GC technician interpreting raw instrument output during a plant upset.
