The Demo Unit That Was Not Returned - Why the customer loved the portable TDLA For moisture measurement in natural gas

Thursday, April 8, 2021 | Pedro Gutierrez

Applications Technologies Products

If you work in the natural gas industry or are an industrial user of natural gas, water dewpoint is not only a quality measurement but also a big concern. Water condensate presents serious challenges and issues for your process. It is highly corrosive and will form hydrates, which are ice-like solid molecules that can block the flow of gas in pipelines. In cold weather, it will also freeze reducing the pipe pressure.

Accurate Moisture Measurement - It's Important!

Friday, February 12, 2021 | Jung-il Kim

Applications Technologies

Moisture affects the physical, chemical, and electrical properties of virtually everything. Moisture (water vapor) is an impurity in the gas processing and chemical manufacturing industries, and its presence in process gas streams adversely affects the manufacturing process and the final product quality. In fact, moisture is the most monitored impurity in any industry.

The Four Critical Measurements of Combustion Analyzers

Thursday, December 10, 2020 | Tim Tallon

Applications Products

Combustion measurements are critical to ensure the safe and efficient operation of fired equipment. These measurements provide the information needed to make key decisions, such as setting air/fuel ratios at the burner, lowering excess air setpoints, detecting the presence of carbon monoxide breakthrough and alerting accumulation of a fuel-rich mixture.

Part One: The Importance of Measuring Water in Ethylene and Propylene Production

Wednesday, April 8, 2020 | Airat Amerov and Michael Gaura

Applications Technologies

Most ethylene and propylene production processes use catalysts to improve production quality and process yield. Impurities in ethylene and in propylene can affect catalyst performance and as a result, production quality.

Combustibles vs. COe – Navigating Industry Terms

Wednesday, March 18, 2020 | Tim Tallon

Applications Technologies

There are many terms used in the combustion industry. One is the concept of “combustibles” for detecting the onset of incomplete combustion for safety, and for optimizing the combustion process for fuel efficiency. This article provides a basis for understanding combustibles measurements and related terms, such as “COe.”

Net Oxygen vs. Gross Oxygen – Differing Ramifications for Safety

Friday, January 24, 2020 | Tim Tallon

Technologies Applications

In combustion, oxygen measurement is critical to ensure the proper balance (or ratio) of air to fully combust the fuel and generate heat. With existing technologies, two measurement types are available to industry: net oxygen and gross oxygen.

Optimizing Solar Panel Production Using a Residual Gas Analyzer

Tuesday, December 17, 2019 | Tom Watson

Applications Technologies

Solar panels produced via the thin-film deposition process are efficient and small. The thin-film deposition technique allows for a “roll-to-roll” production process that maximizes throughput and minimizes material overhead.
