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 a rudimentary sampling system suitable for performing supervised measurement sequences.

The Transportable Condumax II can be employed anywhere in the natural gas supply chain, from processing plants through to pipeline transmission, and by large users such as electricity generation companies. This ease of use reduces the reaction time of test measurements as well as the cost.

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.
