For those involved in the pipeline industry, understanding natural gas is an absolute necessity – from recognizing important markers and indicators of potential issues to increase safety to estimating how much can be transported through pipelines. Accurate natural gas analysis using suitable instrumentsfor your pipeline situation is essential for this process. In this blog post, we’ll discuss why mastering analyses of natural gas are so critical and detail the different analyzers available to ensure accurate data collection every time. We will also feature the Hobre Instruments TISOMIC analyzer.
Why is natural gas analysis in the pipeline industry important?
Natural gas analysis plays a critical role in the pipeline industry, allowing operators to ensure that their pipelines remain safe and efficient. Using natural gas analysis, operators can assess the quality of the gas flowing through the pipeline. This analysis can provide valuable information about the composition of natural gas, including temperature, pressure, BTU content, and other important characteristics.
Why is choosing the right natural gas analyzers important?
Choosing the right natural gas analyzer is important because it ensures that accurate and reliable data is collected from the pipeline. Accurate natural gas analysis plays an essential role in helping operators identify potential issues, so it is important to choose a suitable instrument that can accurately measure various aspects of natural gas composition. In addition, choosing the right analyzers can reduce costs and improve safety measures by detecting problems before they become serious. An accurate and reliable analyzer also helps operators adjust certain parts of their pipelines for optimal performance, ensuring efficient and safe operation.
Hobre Instruments TISOMIC Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), Moisture (H2O), & Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Analyzer
The Hobre Instruments TISOMIC is a revolutionary online process analyzer that utilizes the full precision and capacity of Photo Acoustic Tunable Diode Lasers (PA-TDL) to measure hydrogen sulfide (H2S), moisture (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2) with greater accuracy in both liquid and gas streams. This system uses a combination of low-noise acoustic amplifiers, high-quality microphones, and TDLs to excite targeted components.
Through modulation of the laser diode to the resonance frequency of the measurement cell, a linear pressure wave is generated that is directly proportional to the concentration of the specific component. A resonance chamber amplifies the sound from this pressure wave before being filtered out from other background noise using specialized microphones. Furthermore, acoustic mufflers remove any additional background noise for more accurate readings. Electronic boards further improve signal reception for even more accuracy. As a bonus benefit, because it does not use optical technology, the TISOMIC is not affected by fouling, or contamination like other systems may be.
The TISOMIC also features an easy-to-operate touchscreen Human Machine Interface (HMI) based on their WAVE™ software package, making the analyzer fully configurable without needing a computer hookup. The software also allows the analyzer to be operated & controlled remotely through its MODBUS TCP/IP connection.
