INTRODUCTION :
ORSAT GAS ANALYSIS APPARATUS

An Orsat gas analyzer is a piece

of laboratory equipment used to
analyze a gas sample (typically fossil
fuel flue gas) for its oxygen , carbon
monoxide and carbon dioxide content.
Although largely replaced by
instrumental techniques, the Orsat
remains a reliable method of
measurement and is relatively simple to
use.

CONSTRUCTION:

The apparatus consists essentially of a calibrated water-jacketed gas burette connected

by glass capillary tubing to two or three absorption pipettes containing chemical
solutions that absorb the gasses it is required to measure. For safety and portability, the
apparatus is usually encased in a wooden box.
THE ABSORBENTS ARE:
Potassium Hydroxide (Caustic Potash)
Alkaline pyrogallol
ammoniacal Cuprous chloride
The base of the gas burette is connected to a leveling bottle to enable readings to be
taken at constant pressure and to transfer the gas to and from the absorption media.
The burette contains slightly acidulated water with a trace of chemical indicator
(typically methyl orange) for coloration.
WORKING PRINCIPLE :

The Orsat apparatus works using a very simple method. To find the volume of a
particular gas within the sample a fixed volume of the sampled gas is passed through a
specific solution which absorbs only the required gas. The remaining volume of the gas
can then be re- measured and compared with the original volume to find the proportion
of a specific gas within the sample.

 The sampled gas is passed through a sequence of solutions each removing one of the
gases and the remaining volume calculated afterwards. A solution of caustic potash is
used to absorb the carbon dioxide, a mixture of pyrogallic acid, caustic potash and
water is used to absorb the oxygen, and to remove the carbon monoxide a solution of
cuprous chloride is used.
