• Moisture Measurements for Natural Gas Quality

Sampling Systems

A well designed sampling system is key to achieving correct measurement and reliable long-term operation of any moisture or hydrocarbon dew point analyzer. Systems that disregard the requirements for adequate sample conditioning will fail to achieve the levels of accuracy promised in the analyzer data sheet and also may be very costly for the user in the longer term. Our Systems Engineering team can provide custom design and build services to suit your Class I Division 1 or 2 application.

Certification

The analyzers and sampling systems meet major world-wide safety standards from ATEX, IECEx, FM, _CCSA_US, and GOST-Ex among others. Find full details on each product page.

With markets shifting towards increased activity in LNG processing and transport, along with the development of unconventional gas sources, the control of moisture and hydrocarbon dew point is critical for the operational safety and efficiency of the plant equipment.

• Glycol dehydration
• Membrane separation processes
• Hydrocarbon dew point reduction processing
• Gas dehydration prior to NGL extraction
• Trace moisture before LNG liquefaction
• Gas drying for high pressure enhanced oil recovery

For all natural gas transportation, storage and conditioning plant, a clear view of the process environment is essential. Our broad range of moisture and hydrocarbon dew point analyzers provide that insight.

• Transmission gas quality at custody transfer
• LNG re-gasification terminals
• Network gas storage
• Fuel gas conditioning for gas turbine power plants
• CNG compression/dryer skids
• Bio-methane injection to network

In isomerisation processes, it is critical to strictly control moisture levels within the feedstock to maximise the lifetime of the catalyst bed. Our products enable continuous on-line monitoring of the moisture content, therefore maintaining efficient plant operation.

• Catalytic reformer hydrogen recycle gas
• Naphtha liquid feed to isomerisation

In many petrochemical processes the presence of moisture has serious detrimental effects on plant operation and production efficiency. For instance, the presence of moisture in solvents used in polymer production results in adverse changes in fluid viscosity and drying times. Accurate and fast moisture measurements are key to maintaining quality.

• Ethylene gas and solvent liquid dehydration in polymer plants
• Aromatic hydrocarbons in BTX plants
• Butadiene in synthetic rubber manufacture

For any process application where keeping moisture levels as low as possible is of critical importance, highly reliable, fast and accurate measurement of trace levels of moisture content (ppb_V and ppm_V) are required. Our advanced quartz crystal microbalance technology can help.

• High purity gas production
• Air separation plants
• Catalyst bed protection
• Semiconductor grade gases
• Process dryers
• Industrial gas production
• Specialist and cylinder gases
