(a) Compounds detected on Tenax® for which Entropy has obtained quantitative
reference spectra. Blank spaces indicate a non-detect.
(b) Probably a mixture of alkane hydrocarbons which may include hexane together
give absorbances similar to hexane.
(c) Concentration of detected compound in FTIR cell calculated using MCOMP
analytical routine.
(d) Concentration of detected compound in flue gas calculated by dividing
in-cell concentration by the concentration factor (see Section 4.6.5).
