Abstract
Apparatus and methods for measuring the efficiency of a thermal catalytic combustion unit. An example method provides a thermal catalytic combustion unit, a drying unit fluidically connected to the thermal catalytic combustion unit and configured to be downstream of the thermal catalytic combustion unit, and a sensor fluidically connected to the thermal catalytic combustion unit and configured to be downstream of the thermal catalytic combustion unit. The method further includes flowing a formation fluid sample through the thermal catalytic combustion unit, flowing a formation fluid sample through the drying unit, and sensing the formation fluid sample with the sensor after the formation fluid sample has flowed through the thermal catalytic combustion unit. The sensing detects the presence of a hydrocarbon and/or carbon monoxide in the formation fluid sample.
