Michell Instruments has released a transportable version of its Condumax II hydrocarbon and water dew-point analyser.
This will enable engineers to provide a fast response for investigations into the quality of natural gas, wherever it is needed.
The transportable Condumax II measures hydrocarbon and water dew-point (key indicators of the quality of natural gas) in the same way and to the same accuracy as the online version.
The analyser is fitted into a robust transport case with rudimentary sampling system suitable for performing supervised measurement sequences.
Michell’s technical consultant, Andy Benton, said Condumax II provides a totally flexible analyser package for investigations into natural gas quality, meaning it can be employed anywhere in the natural gas supply chain from processing plants through to pipeline transmission, and by large users such as electricity generation companies.
“So it’s important that the system can be loaded into and out of a pick-up truck by two engineers, who will be able to operate and analyse the results on site; this ease of use reduces the reaction time of test measurements as well as the cost,” Benton said.
A typical application for the transportable Condumax II would be investigations into the performance of hydrocarbon reduction processing by natural gas producers.
The analyser can be brought into operation quickly at any point in the process to help resolve issues.
Gas pipeline transmission operators usually have online hydrocarbon dew-point analysers installed at the entry and delivery points of their pipeline network, but the transportable Condumax II allows for quality checks to be made at any point within the pipeline.
