Gas Chromatograph for Natural Gas, Biogas, and Hydrogen

Emerson have announced the release of the Rosemount™ 470XA Gas Chromatograph, designed to simplify natural gas analysis in custody transfer and other process applications.

As natural gas sources have evolved to include sustainable and renewable sources, such as landfill gas and biogas, the need to provide greater gas chromatograph flexibility has accelerated. Existing designs provide the needed capabilities, but a smaller form factor and a more cost-effective solution is needed.

The Rosemount 470XA addresses these and other needs with an analyser design based on the versatile and industry-proven Rosemount™ 770XA Gas Chromatograph, known for its robustness and wide variety of applications. This opens a wider range of use cases for a product in this segment, such as for carbon capture utilisation and storage, renewable natural gas, and custom applications.

The 470XA provides the same reliable and accurate C6+ BTU/CV measurement that users have come to expect from decades of traditional Rosemont gas chromatograph technology, but now with the added benefit of being a more economical solution for a wider variety of emerging applications.

A full-colour LCD local operator interface and easy-to-use software reduces the need for specialised training by guiding operators through common operational and maintenance functions. Preinstalled Rosemount MON2020 software simplifies analyser configuration, maintenance, and data collection.

The 470XA doesn’t require a shelter for operation in most environments, lowering total cost of ownership. A fully serviceable module combines all critical functional parts in one assembly, allowing for quick and easy field replacement or repair.
