| New laser-based moisture analyzer  The costly dilemma of getting consistently accurate readings on wet gas through conventional sensors has become a thing of the past with new technology - the laser-based moisture analyzer. Unaffected by the contaminants in natural gas streams, especially wet ones, the laser-based natural gas analyzer offers producers and service companies a precision alternative to the problems of inaccurate and slow measurements that results in problematic and expensive sensor maintenance and too often leads to excessive treatment costs or disastrous shut-ins.In May 2006 Tibbetts' measurement group bought the newest in moisture analyzer technology from SpectraSensors, the company who developed the laser-based technology. Using a 'tunable-diode' laser-based technology, the SpectraSensors natural gas analyzer accurately monitors moisture content by precisely measuring the absorbance of light by moisture molecules, thereby measuring the exact amount of water or carbon dioxide. There are no chemical conversions involved, and no natural gas sensor contact with the sample gas. This eliminates 'coating' problems, erratic measurements, and exceeded tariffs. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
