Product catalog summary
Introduction
The ProCeas® is a new generation of gas analyzers designed for detecting trace gases in hydrocarbons with high accuracy and low detection limits. It offers significant advantages such as no cross interferences, low maintenance, and no drift over time.
Technologies
The ProCeas® utilizes Optical Feedback Cavity Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy (OFCEAS) and Low Pressure Sampling. This patented laser-based technology allows for the measurement of gases at parts per billion (ppb) levels with exceptional accuracy and repeatability. The low-pressure sampling enhances gas selectivity, eliminating cross interferences even in complex hydrocarbon matrices.
Self-Calibration
The analyzer features an integrated self-calibration system, ensuring no zero or span drift over time, which reduces maintenance costs and enhances reliability.
Importance of Trace Gas Control
In petrochemical processes, trace gases like H2S, NH3, and H2O can act as impurities affecting product quality and process efficiency. Monitoring these gases is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the final product.
ProCeas® Trace Analyzer Features
  • No cross-interferences
  • High sensitivity with low detection levels (ppb)
  • No zero or span drift
  • No regular calibration required
  • Capability to analyze multiple gases (H2S, NH3, H2O, etc.)
  • Fast response time starting from 3 seconds
  • Low sampled volume and low fouling
  • ATEX enclosures available
Applications
The ProCeas® is suitable for various gas backgrounds, including coke gas and pulp and paper industries, among other hydrocarbon applications.

trace gas analysis in hydrocarbons - application note-3

WHY DO YOU NEED TO CONTROL TRACES IN HYDROCARBONS PROCESSES? In many petrochemical applications, some gas components can be found at trace level. Their concentrations can fluctuate over time, and are depending on process parameters, or process feed. Species like H2S, NH3, or H2O, can be considered as impurities (corrosive, toxic, etc.), and are often tracked in these gas matrices to insure the quality of the final gas product and the efficiency of the production process.
