Struggling to Reduce Costs While Meeting Tighter Energy Measurement Demands? Avoid two-phase flow measurement error? A significant cause of inaccurate measurement where rich gases are most likely to be found is the error caused by two-phase flow through the meter run. All gas flow meter used in custody transfer are designed for single-phase gas flow, and will generate significant errors when liquid hydrocarbons occur in the flowing stream (up to 5 % with ultrasonic meters1). Additionally, gas sampling systems are designed to reject liquids prior to analysis in gas chromatographs, so the...

Recommended Solution About Emerson Gas Chromatographs Natural gas is bought and sold based on the level of its energy content. Gas transmission plays a critical role in ensuring these natural gas resources are safely transported, measured, and recorded before reaching their final destination point. The recent influx of natural gas deposits discovered around the world has caused such an increase in supply that market demand cannot keep up and prices have dropped to an all-time low. These lower prices have caused a domino effect across the industry, and businesses are looking for ways to...

Natural Gas Transmission Chain of Custody Applications Offshore C6+ C9+ Compression/Interconnect C6+ C9+ Production/Gathering Network Standard Measurement Ranges Methane Ethane Propane N-Butane Iso-Butane N-Pentane Iso-Pentane Neo-Pentane Hexane (**) Nitrogen Carbon Dioxide C6+ (*) Heptanes (**) Octanes (**) Nonane (**) C6+ – The traditional GC “natural gas custody transfer” measurement. Individual hydrocarbons up to normalpentane, nitrogen, and CO2 are analyzed individually, and heavier hydrocarbons are combined to form “C6+” concentration, hence the descriptor. The 370XA C6+ performs this...

City Gate Hydrocarbon Dew Point – The hydrocarbon dew point changes with pressure, so the 700XA C9+ can calculate HCDP at four different pressures, as well as the cricondentherm. The pressures can be fixed, or may be sourced from the modbus link or an analog input to enable the live calculation of HCDP at pipeline pressure. measured or collectively as total sulphur. Emerson can provide all these measurements on the XA platform, reducing the complexity of a gas quality measurement system. Composite Sampler – A cylinder is continuously filled with small samples of the flowing gas. At regular...
