Gas analyzer RGA

hydrocarbonpetroleummonitoring

Refinery gas analyzers (RGA) utilize gas chromatography to test and characterize gases and pressurized liquids utilized in refinery operations. Routine testing of refinery gas aids operators in achieving product quality goals, while also protecting equipment that could be damaged by contaminants. PerkinElmer’s RGA instruments are designed to provide the flexibility needed by refineries producing a number of petroleum varieties, considering a number of variables, conditions and sample types. Our RGA instruments provide complete solutions for the analysis of hydrogen, helium, oxygen/argon, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and light hydrocarbons from methane through hexane. Model 1015 offers a rapid testing solution for the determination of O2, N2, CO2, CO, H2S, C1 through C5 and a =C5/C6+ composite peak in gas samples in 15 minutes. Utilizing a dual channel-flame ionization detector (FID) and thermal conductivity detector (TCD), RGA Model 1015 provides critical butene-1/isobutylene separation, and also includes Model 3062 Software, which contains a merge program to combine multichannel data into one report. Rugged packed columns ensure no degradations from water, ammonia or other common contaminants. Meeting the requirements set forth in ASTM D1945, D1946, D2597, UOP 539, UOP 709, and DIN 51872-4, Model 1015 provides minimum detection levels of 0.002% for the =C5/C6+ composite and 0.001% on all other components on the FID channel, and 0.02% for H2S and 0.01% for all other components on the TCD channel.
