  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.
