Gas chromatographs (GCs) are used in the oil & gas industry where critical measurement of the components in gas are required. GCs are used in custody transfer applications to more complex hydrocarbon C9+ analysis with dew point calculations, trace contaminant monitoring, and product quality verification. A GC consists of a probe, sample system, chromatographic oven […]
Gas chromatographs (GCs) are used in natural gas applications to measure the hydrocarbon components. The heavier natural gas liquids beyond butane and pentane are referred to as C6+ hydrocarbons. Gas chromatographs performing C6+ analysis are used by hydrocarbon processing facilities when high-quality product specifications are required or when rigid custody transfer standards are needed in […]
When I first heard that Australian accent in the YouTube video, 370XA Gas Chromatograph Cal-Gas Saver (4:23 runtime), I knew it was my friend Emerson’s Shane Hale, a Product Marketing Manager involved in the new product design process for gas chromatographs in the Natural Gas industry. You may recall Shane from earlier gas chromatograph-related posts. […]
There is lots of excitement just east of us here in Austin for the 2014 Offshore Technology Conference (OTC2014) in Houston, Texas. One of the innovations being highlighted is Emerson’s Rosemount Analytical 370XA gas chromatograph for natural gas measurement analysis in Fiscal and Custody Transfer applications. The ARC Advisory Group has a nice summary: Key […]
One of the challenges in measuring hydrocarbon gases is the precipitation condensation of liquids, which can impact measurement accuracy and create maintenance issues. Emerson’s Shane Hale authors an article, Hydrocarbon Dew Point Measurement Using Gas Chromatographs in Pipeline & Gas Journal magazine. Much like the dew that forms on a lawn when the temperature drops […]
