Moisture and hydrocarbon dew point in natural gas!

The world’s most established hydrocarbon dew-point analyser and the latest generation of tuneable diode laser spectroscopy moisture analyser are now available in a single package to help gas companies ensure the quality of their pipeline transmission gas. Moisture and hydrocarbon dew point are the key parameters in gas quality standards for custody transfer of transmission pipeline gas and reliable measurements are vital for pipeline operators. Michell Instruments’ Condumax II is the most frequently installed hydrocarbon dew point analyser around the world. The recently launched OptiPEAK TDL600 represents the latest developments in spectroscopy, with improved sensitivity and accuracy along with the ability to automatically cope with changing background gas compositions. The combined system provides users with the benefits of both systems in an easy-to-install package. It has a smaller footprint than two analyser systems: this reduces costs and also saves on space. The package includes both analysers and a combined sample conditioning system to ensure a steady sample flow which is at a uniform pressure and temperature. It is fully certified for installation in hazardous areas worldwide, with certifications from ATEX, CCSAUS and IECEx. • Michell products are marketed in Ireland through Instrument Technology.
