Applikon Analytical has introduced the ADI 2040 Exp for analysis of hydrogen sulphide in the crude treater unit.
Crude oil is passed through the treater to remove hydrogen sulphide with the analysis being carried out by gas chromatograph or on grab samples in the laboratory.
Titrating the sulphide in the sample is the most accurate method, but doing this in the laboratory can take a long time and may lead to a plant operating out of specification for many hours.
Carrying out the titration on-line in the production area cuts this time, leading to greater control of the removal process.
The ATEX-certified ADI 2040 Exp comes with a purpose-built sample conditioning system.
The wet-part is mounted outside the purged cabinet maintenance, meaning operator checks can be made without shutting down the system or carrying out gas testing.
The configuration and working range of the analyser and sample conditioning system can be adjusted to meet the requirements of each individual site.
