Process Mass Spectrometers in Petrochemical and Chemical Processes

Fast, accurate, comprehensive gas analysis data enables model predictive control systems to be updated in real-time, resulting in production unit optimization and maximum profitability. Hydrocarbon processing plants around the world use process mass spectrometers to optimize a diverse range of chemical production processes as well as to monitor fugitive emissions.

Process mass spectrometers offer complex sample stream analysis in seconds, automatic calibration, minimal maintenance, no required carrier gases required and few utilities.

Select a monitoring method that meets the accuracy and precision requirements of the prevailing standard.

Accurately analyze the calculation of calorific value (gross and net), density, specific gravity, Wobbe Index, stoichiometric air requirement and the combustion air requirement index (CARI).

Minimize costs by eliminating the need for hydrogen fuel or helium carrier gas.

Accurately measure the molecular balances of carbon and oxygen to validate accuracy. Preferred technology for catalyst development research, where the goal is to increase the efficiency of the catalyst at high rates of activity.

Clearly track the variation in the hydrogen/ethylene ratio with greater precision than other gas analyzers.

High accuracy for feed gas composition and calculated heating value; reduces energy consumption due to the tight control of the steam-to-carbon ratio (±0.01%).

Monitor 100 or more sample points, within 15 minutes, with species-specific detection in the 0.01 to 1 ppm range.

Comply with regulations 40 CFR Parts 60 & 63 and 40 CFR part 60 (subpart ja). Report net heating value and sulfur.
