BARTEC harmonizes its moisture analyzer portfolio

BARTEC, a leading provider of process analyzers for the global energy and gas industries, announces the harmonization of its product naming structure for moisture and hydrocarbon dew point analyzers. The updated naming convention follows a unified, function and platform oriented approach to ensure greater clarity and consistency across the analyzer portfolio.

As part of this alignment, the following product names are now officially in use:

• PMA 5674 – Process Moisture Analyzer
• HCDT 5673 – Moisture and Hydrocarbon Dew Point Analyzer

The long standing product name HYGROPHIL, recognized for more than three decades in industrial moisture measurement, will be discontinued and removed from all current product designations.

BARTEC confirms that this update affects naming only. All systems remain technically unchanged:

• Same technology
• Same performance
• Same applications
• Full compatibility with installed systems

All existing systems, documentation, and service support remain fully valid.

Focus on the PMA 5674: Proven Optical Trace Moisture Measurement

The PMA 5674 Process Trace Moisture Analyzer continues to serve as a robust and reliable solution for demanding industrial environments. Designed for precise trace moisture measurement in both gases and liquids, the PMA 5674 combines optical sensing technology with engineered sample conditioning to ensure stable, reproducible, and long term reliable performance.

Key Benefits of the PMA 5674

• Trace moisture measurement in gases and liquids using one analyzer platform
• Optical sensor technology for exceptional long term stability
• Sensor validation under near process conditions
• High pressure operation up to 20 MPa (2900 psi)
• Multi channel architecture for multi point measurement
• Engineered sample conditioning for reliable online operation
• Emission free in line sensor retraction for maintenance without process shutdown
• Hazardous area certification for explosive atmospheres

Typical applications include natural gas processing and quality metering, LNG production, petrochemical processes, hydrogen infrastructure, and specialty gas systems.
