Streamline Complex Natural Gas Analysis with Concurrent Measurements of Sulfur and Energy Content

Current gas quality measurement requirements are driving the need for analysis of both sulfur compounds and natural gas composition in pipeline and gas processing applications using a gas chromatograph (GC). Conventional air-bath oven GCs capable of supporting these measurements are expensive, complex large platforms unsuitable for field-installation without elaborate analyzer shelters, adding significant capital and operating costs.

This white paper explores the industry’s first field-mountable, transmitter-style gas chromatograph capable of providing measurement of sulfur compounds and energy content of natural gas in a single, compact explosion-proof analyzer, reducing cost and footprint.

Learn how to:

• Avoid the wasteful strategy of using two separate analyzers for sulfur measurement and heating value analysis
• Replace up to four analyzers with one Rosemount 700XA Gas Chromatograph as a practical solution to the measurement of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), energy content, hydrocarbon dewpoint, as well as trace-level speciation and quantification of total sulfur compounds
• Leverage the field-mountable design of transmitter-type GCs to minimize installation, footprint and ownership costs
• Tap into embedded automation capabilities and remote connectivity to simplify operation
