and butane

New from Applikon Analytical is the ADI 2040 Exp for analysis of hydrogen sulphide in a crude oil treater unit
Sampling and analysis of propane and butane is lengthy and hazardous giving a low frequency of analysis for laboratory results.
The ADI 2040 Exp is designed to bridge the gap between the process and the laboratory by allowing the sodium analysis to take place in the production environment.
Supplied as a complete system the ATEX certified ADI 2040 Exp comes complete with a purpose built sample conditioning system to provide a complete integrated system.
As the wet-part is mounted outside the purged cabinet maintenance and operator checks can be made without shutting the system down or carrying out gas testing for safety.
The configuration and working range of the analyser and sample conditioning system can be adjusted to meet the exact requirements of each individual site and a full range of input/output signals with appropriate barriers for a complete system.
