Detecting moisture in natural gas – Inventech

The accurate detection of moisture is a challenge for the gas industry. Excess moisture in natural gas causes problems such as corrosion of equipment such as pipelines and storage tanks and formation of gas hydrate. Measuring moisture in natural gas is not a difficult application, but you do want a reliable and continuous measurement. Transfer of glycol and compressor oils can quickly damage the in-situ sensors. Triethylene glycol (TEG) is added to dry natural gas before it is sent downstream for commercial or industrial use. These glycols shift the readings from the sensor. Which analyser provides a reliable and continuous moisture measurement in natural gas?

The solution: reliable moisture measurement in natural gas

Teledyne's 8800 NG Trace Moisture Analyzer solves this problem with a built-in moisture calibration system that allows the operator to periodically check the device's calibration drift. In addition, the moisture sensor uses Hyper Thin Film (HTF) technology. This technology provides higher sensitivity, improved stability and a faster response time compared to conventional aluminum oxide sensors. HTF sensors can tolerate many of the contaminants in natural gas applications, such as glycol, where other sensors quickly deteriorate and fail.
