Precise and reliable continuous monitoring of natural permanent gases for the petrochemical, chemical and energy industries

Permanent gas analysis is widely used in a broad range of applications in the petrochemical, chemical, and energy industries. As an example, permanent gases like O2, CO2, N2, Ar, CH4 and ethane are ubiquitous in pure gas manufacturing, refinery gases, natural gas, fuel cell gases, as well as plenty of other industrial processes. Automatic identification and quantification of concentrations of these gases can play a crucial role in production quality and manufacturing process control. 

Chromatotec® has developed a method for the measurement of C1-C6+ in natural gas (H2S can also be measured as an option) using their state-of-the-art Chroma Ex analyser. The system uses N2, produced by Chromatotec’s Nitroxychrom Nitrogen generator, as the carrier gas along with a thermal conductivity detector (TCD). To operate this analytical system, all that is needed is an electricity supply. Chromatotec’s® analytical columns ensure accurate and repeatable analyte separations. The system works in a way which enables precise analyte detection while other potential interferents are not injected in the main column to contaminate the sample. Chromatotec off this system with custom configurations for safe and hazardous areas: ATEX, IECEx, CSA and CSA international certificates for use in refineries and petrochemical facilities.
