Have you searched on gas chromatography, gas liquid chromatography, and /or GLC?

The detector in GLC's is basically a conductivity detector with two electrodes. In its most common configuration, one electrode is the nozzle for the flame and the other is a cylinder about 0.5 to 1 cm above the nozzle and on the same axis.

If all you want to do is detect flame on or off, as in a burner, you probably don't need to use a cylinder for the second electrode or you could use two separate electrodes. John
