The micro gascromatographic analyzer μPGC NG+H2 of SRA Instruments is an innovative solution designed to analyze Natural Gas, i.e. blended with Hydrogen up to 25% with a single carrier gas (Helium) and calculate the calorific value in real time.
The ATEX Zone 1 certified analyzer offers operational safety in areas classified as hazardous.
Thanks to its modular configuration, it guarantees rapid maintenance interventions and reduced management costs.
Data control and processing are carried out via Web Browser-based software Agilent PROstation.
Key features:
- Real Time Analysis: It accurately measures the components of Natural Gas (CH4, CO2, C2H6₆, C3₃H₈8, C4, C5, C6₆+, H2, O2, N2, CO, COS, H2S), without the need for manual intervention, reducing the risk of human error
- Continuous Calorific Value calculation: Provides fast results (within 90 seconds) with calculations compliant with ISO 6976:2016 standards, essential for fiscal transactions
- Remote Web Access: Allows you to monitor data in real time from any device (PC, tablet, smartphone), connected via LAN, WiFi or other industrial protocols
- Advanced analysis management: Allows automatic programming of analytical sequences, alarm management, continuous calibration and data transmission via MODBUS RTU/TCP, RS485, 4–20 mA, FTP.
Benefits:
- Online analysis where the operator does not handle the sample, reducing both human error and analysis time
- Fully autonomous analyzer, with no need for manual intervention during routine operation
- Continuous real-time monitoring, ensuring immediate detection of variations in gas composition and improved process control
- Minimized downtime and product posses
- Early detection of anomalies or off-spec gas allows for faster corrective action.
Applications:
- Grid feeding and fiscal transactions: It guarantees the quality of Natural Gas and
its blends, respecting the regulatory
requirements for grid feeding and for the
calculation of the calorific value, essential for
fiscal management
- Quality control of Natural Gas and blends
with Hydrogen: The quality of Natural Gas and its blends with
Hydrogen is guaranteed through continuous
monitoring, without the need of sampling
- Sustainability and energy transition: It optimizes the management of low carbon
natural gas and blends with Hydrogen,
contributing to the transition towards more
sustainable energy.
