Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed information about the BARTEC BENKE Pour Point Process Analyzer PPA-4, a system designed for the automatic determination of the pour point of various products, crucial for optimizing production processes in the oil and gas industry.

Application: The PPA-4 is used by lube oil and fuel oil producers to optimize production and meet market demands. It is the only process analyzer compliant with applicable norms using a tilting device, suitable for both low and high-temperature applications.

Special Features: The PPA-4 includes a real tilting measuring cell, rugged design, easy assembly removal, and various communication interfaces such as Modbus/RTU and Modbus/TCP. It also features integrated failure diagnosis, self-monitoring, and a validation report for quality assurance.

Norms and Standards: The analyzer complies with ASTM D97, DIN ISO 3016, and IP 15 standards, ensuring reliable and standardized measurements.

Technical Data: The PPA-4 operates with an automatic tilting measuring cell, covering a measuring range from -30 to 33°C. It offers repeatability and reproducibility in line with DIN EN/ASTM standards, with a measuring cycle time of 15 to 90 minutes depending on the pour point temperature.

Electrical and Environmental Specifications: The analyzer requires a nominal voltage of 230 VAC and consumes approximately 600 W. It operates within ambient temperatures of 5 to 40°C and humidity levels of 5 to 80%.

Utilities and Connections: The system uses instrument air and coolant supplied by a chiller. It includes various signal outputs and inputs for analog and digital data, with auxiliary power supply output at 24 VDC.

Control and User Interface: The central control unit is an industrial PC running Windows Embedded Standard 7®, with control software PACS. User interfaces include a TFT display with touch function and a virtual keyboard.

Physical Specifications: The PPA-4 weighs approximately 420 kg and has dimensions of 1140 x 1900 x 710 mm, requiring additional space for installation.

Optional Interfaces: Additional analog outputs and MODBUS interfaces are available on request, with remote access via Ethernet.

Explosion Protection: The analyzer is marked for ATEX and NEC standards, ensuring safe operation in explosive environments.

Process Analyzer Pour Point Process Analyzer PPA-4 To remain competitive, today’s refiners must employ all optimization and product control techniques available. The use of online physical property analyzers is one of the key features to reach those objectives because they measure important quality properties in the process directly. The pour point of a liquid is the temperature at which it still flows but starts losing its flow characteristics by becoming semi solid. For hydrocarbons the pour point temperature depends on the content of paraffin in the liquid but also on the viscosity that changes...
