Reliable measurements ensure process safety

Bartec Benke’s (Germany) Hygrophil F5673 has a proven track record for reliable trace moisture measurement in a variety of liquids and gases. Originally designed for the natural gas market, the Hygrophil® F 5673 is furthermore used for to measure trace moisture in an array of liquids and gases in hydrocarbon process streams.

Bartec Benke has patented a measuring principle whereby the trace moisture content in the analyte changes the refractive index of the optical layers found within the instrument’s sensor. There is a change in the light spectrum’s minimum caused by the presence of moisture, which is then measured by a Polychromator located within the analyser.

The multichannel Hygrophil F5673 and its rugged moisture sensors has been successfully used in the petrochemical industry to measure recycle gas streams, gaseous or liquid hydrocarbons and fuels. It has also made bio and natural gas plants safer places, measuring gas treatment streams, biogas injection plants, gas transport, gas storage facilities and gas dryers. This versatile analyser has also been widely used in chemical plants for performance evaluation of catalysts and process safety and in improving operations and quality control at power plants.
