Michell Instruments Condumax II transportable hydrocarbon dewpoint analyser

Michell Instruments has developed a transportable version of its hydrocarbon dewpoint analyser, the Condumax II. The latest version enables engineers to provide a fast response for investigations into the quality of natural gas wherever it is needed.

The transportable analyser 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 simple sampling system that is suitable for performing supervised measurement sequences. It is certified for use in hazardous areas around the world, including ATEX, IECEx, CSA and GOST, with specific local certification available.

The flexible analyser package could 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. The system can be loaded into and out of a pick-up truck by two engineers, who will be able to operate and analyse the results on-site. This ease of use reduces the reaction time of test measurements.
