PGC1000 Field Mounted Process Gas Chromatograph

Product catalog summary
Description: The PGC1000 is a field-mounted process gas chromatograph designed for measuring light hydrocarbon gases in compact spaces. It is suitable for various applications in the Hydrocarbon Processing Industry (HPI), including monitoring natural gas and other fuel gases. The device features a compact design, conventional analytical components, and operates on a Windows CE system with an interactive graphical display.
Standard Features: The PGC1000 includes a modular design with application-based software modules, a manifold module, and a dual-train chromatograph. It supports remote user interface software, comprehensive diagnostics, and two-level security. The device offers automatic calibration, operational alarms, and low utility usage.
Installation: Designed for field installation, the PGC1000 is weatherproof and can operate in temperatures ranging from 0°F to 131°F. It can be mounted on pipelines or poles, with an optional cold weather enclosure available.
Sample System: The PGC1000 can sample up to four different gas streams, with options for calibration/validation samples. It includes a standard sample conditioning module for additional filtering and reduced transport lag times.
Operator Interface: The PGC1000 uses a graphical user interface software package for setup and operation, compatible with Windows 2000 or XP. It features a ¼ VGA interactive display for basic analysis data and supports Ethernet connectivity for network integration.
Maintenance: Designed for easy maintenance, the PGC1000 features replaceable electro-mechanical modules and diagnostic software. It includes a local operator interface and supports remote or local operation.
Historical Data: The PGC1000 retains historical data for audit trails and troubleshooting. Users can configure data retention periods, with default settings storing the most recent 480 analysis cycles and operational parameters.
Specifications: The PGC1000 is designed for pipeline-quality gas streams, with specific cleanliness and dryness requirements. It supports various carrier gases and communication protocols, including OPC and MODBUS. The device is certified for various safety and environmental standards.
Available Accessories: Accessories include power supplies, mounting kits, cold weather enclosures, probes, regulators, memory cards, and maintenance kits.

PGC1000 Field Mounted Process Gas Chromatograph-1

DESCRIPTION The PGC1000 is a field mounted GC using two analytical trains per analyzer that enable measurements of C1 thru C9+, inerts and H2S in various Hydro-carbon Processing In-dustry (HPI) streams. The PGC1000 is perfect for measuring light hydrocarbon gases in locations where minimal space is available and a simple, reliable, low cost measurement is required. This analyzer is an excellent choice for most Gas Processing Industry applications. Also it is an excellent choice for monitoring fuel gases such as natural gas, synthetic gas, methane and/or bio-gas required for the efficient operation of process equipment and plant wide systems in the HPI. Servicing the analyzer requires minimal effort to gain ac-cess to the modular analytical hardware which is easily removed for replacement. The PGC1000 innovations include: Modular design includes: Modular software application based plug in software modules Manifold module (internal tubing now replaced by manifold) Analysis section contains stream selection sole-noids, pressure regulation, 32 bit digital detector electronics and a dual-train chromatograph in a single, replaceable module 32 bit digital, low-power controlling electronics, using Windows CE֮ (internal to GC unit) Microsoft Windowsή 2000 or XP based remote user interface software (PGC1000 RUI) Lithium battery-backed RAM Two remote serial digital communications ports; one local port Comprehensive diagnostics and wizards available to users Two-level security for user access control Audit-quality historical data; date and time stamped Auto-start cycle automatically: Stabilizes oven temperature Compact footprint - 16 inches front to back, 28 pounds Confirms modules functions Sets valve operation times Conventional analytical components, not a GC on a chip Locates natural gas components Sets carrier gas pressures Windows CE operating system Gates natural gas components Validates/calibrates Interactive graphical display actuated by magnet con-tact Returns to pipeline streams Operational alarms available with each analysis cycle Economical to operate Detectors - constant temperature, glass encapsulated thermister beads for rugged service and long life (will not burn out on loss of carrier) Simple, reliable, easy to service, low cost measurement! STANDARD FEATURES Dual 10 port valves have no moving metal parts Low utility usage - low-power, low-carrier, no instru-ment air required On demand or scheduled automatic calibration and diagnostics >
