Delivering Hydrogen to Consumers Where and When it is Needed
In a Global Hydrogen Review article, Emerson’s Laura Chemler examines what new hydrogen infrastructure will look like. As the world looks to hydrogen as an alternative fuel, we must address transportation challenges in addition to production and utilization...
Achieving Ethylene Purity Calls for Selecting Right Gas Analyzer
More than 100 years ago, Ivory Soap started claiming, and still says, its bar of soap is “ninety-nine and forty-four-one-hundredths percent pure.” At the time, that was an astonishing figure, but in much of the chemical manufacturing industry today, 99.44% purity...
How Pure Does Hydrogen Need to Be? And How Do We Measure It?
One of the interesting aspects of our growing hydrogen economy is the way that it is turning up in all sorts of new places and applications. Ammonia plants and refineries have been handling hydrogen for decades, but the proliferation of electrolyzers, fuel cells, and...
Improving Analysis of Natural Gas Composition and Sulfur Content
The natural gas industry is required to maintain specific standards for gas quality and composition. These standards are in place to ensure better operational efficiencies throughout the natural gas value chain. Limits on a range of gas quality specifications help...
Monitoring Flare Gas Net Heating Value with Gas Chromatographs
Emerson’s Jamie Marsden presented on the subject of gas chromatographs (GCs) for flare regulations 40 CFR Part 63 at the 4C Heath, Safety & Environmental conference.
Efficient Single-Phase Vapor Regulation in Gas Chromatograph Applications
At the Emerson Exchange Americas Virtual Series, Emerson’s Allison Reiter and Ryan Kirchner shared ways to optimize sample conditioning using TESCOM vaporizing regulators.
Reduced Downtime with Gas Chromatograph Maintainable Module
This quick 1:38 YouTube video, The Maintainable Module of Rosemount 370XA Gas Chromatograph, shows how this innovative analytical module is replaceable and rebuildable.
Refinery Flare Regulatory Compliance
At the 2020 4C Health, Safety & Environment conference, Emerson's Jamie Marsden presented, New Refinery Flare Regulations 40 CFR Part 63. The rule, 40 CFR 63 Subparts CC and UUU, affects any refinery with a flare used as a control device for an emission point, and...
Assuring Single-Phase Vapor Sample for Gas Chromatograph
Gas chromatographs analyze the composition of hydrocarbon mixtures in process and natural gas applications. For online natural gas chromatography, the samples must be reliably conditioned to produce a single-phase vapor. In this 5:42 YouTube video, How to Select a...
How to Set Up Gas Chromatograph Serial Communications
Gas chromatographs (GCs) are used in the oil & gas industry where critical measurement of the components in gas are required. GCs are used in custody transfer applications to more complex hydrocarbon C9+ analysis with dew point calculations, trace contaminant...
Reducing Project Execution Risks for Complex Analytical Systems
Real-time analyzers play an important role in many process manufacturing operations. Some examples include natural gas custody transfer, combustion efficiency monitoring, combustion emissions component analysis, flowing fluid compositional analysis and more. Not only...
