Quality analytical measurements for natural gas treatment plants
As the third largest energy source globally, natural gas is already playing a vital role in the industrial world today. While global energy demand in the future will continue to be fulfilled mainly by fossil fuels, the importance of natural gas is projected to grow within the energy mix. Natural gas treatment plants perform multiple treatment steps to remove acid gases and other impurities. How do you monitor H2O, H2S, CO2, and O2 in natural gas?
Principais fatos
2/3
of worldwide natural gas output is produced in 9 countries
These countries include the United States (US), Russia, Iran, Canada, Qatar, Norway, China, Saudi Arabia and Algeria. The same data suggest that about 40 % of the global natural gas production is happening in US and Russia.

Takeaway
Laser-based analyzers for natural gas
Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) analyzers perform on-line, real-time measurements of impurities in natural gas streams from sub-ppm levels to percentage levels. The unique design of such analyzers provide significant advantages over other technologies for monitoring H2O, H2S, and CO2 in natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs).
- Optical Analysis: exceptionally fast speed of response from analyzers
- Laser spectroscopy selectively measures analytes in natural gas
- No field calibration/ re-calibration required
- Designed for operation in harsh environments (off shore, hot / cold climates)
- Low cost of ownership - no consumables items required
