Michell Instruments Transportable Condumax II hydrocarbon dewpoint analyser

Michell Instruments has developed a transportable version of its hydrocarbon dewpoint analyser. The key function of this version will be to 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 dewpoint (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.

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 dewpoint analysers installed at the entry and delivery points of their pipeline network; however, the Transportable Condumax II allows for checks of quality to be made at any point within the pipeline.

Electricity-generating companies that operate gas turbines need to be sure of the superheat margin between the dewpoint and delivery temperature of the fuel gas to avoid damage caused by liquid condensate in the gas, as well as avoiding environmental levies on emissions.

The Transportable Condumax II is certified for use in hazardous areas around the world, including ATEX, IECEx, CSA and GOST, with specific local certification available.
