Rosemount™ Gas Chromatograph Solutions For natural gas transmission applications

Product catalog summary
Overview
Rosemount™ Gas Chromatograph Solutions are tailored for natural gas transmission, ensuring precise and reliable gas measurement analysis. The document addresses challenges in two-phase flow measurement errors and offers solutions to enhance energy measurement accuracy and cost efficiency.
Two-Phase Flow Measurement Error
Two-phase flow, involving liquid hydrocarbons in the gas stream, can lead to significant measurement errors. The Rosemount 770XA C9+ gas chromatograph with Hydrocarbon Dew Point (HCDP) application mitigates these errors by calculating the HCDP at flowing pressure, ensuring single-phase flow and accurate measurements.
Cost Reduction and Energy Measurement
With increased natural gas supply and reduced prices, companies aim to lower operating costs. Rosemount gas chromatographs are crucial for gas energy quality analysis, offering low total ownership costs, ease of use, and minimal maintenance.
Rosemount Gas Chromatographs
Engineered for durability and reliability, Rosemount gas chromatographs are suitable for extreme conditions, offering various configurations and minimal startup and maintenance efforts. The Lifecycle Services program provides ongoing support.
Standard Applications
The Rosemount XA series supports standard C6+ and C9+ analysis, fiscal metering, custody transfer, and more, with custom applications for complex needs.
Impact of Inaccurate Measurement
Inaccurate energy flow measurement can result in significant revenue loss. The document includes a formula to calculate potential flow error impacts.
Reducing Installation and Maintenance Costs
The Rosemount XA Series shares a common electronics platform, reducing complexity and training needs. The Rosemount 370XA offers a lower upfront cost and features Maintainable Module™ technology for easy maintenance.
Increasing Profitability
Accurate measurement reduces lost and unaccounted-for gas, enhancing profitability. The Rosemount 370XA is ideal for upgrading older systems to improve measurement accuracy.
Hydrocarbon Dew Point and Composite Sampler
The Rosemount 770XA C9+ calculates HCDP at multiple pressures for accurate gas quality measurement. Composite samplers collect gas samples for laboratory analysis, though manual processes can introduce errors.
Lost and Unaccounted For Gas
Energy loss in the transmission network affects profitability. Accurate measurement helps minimize this loss.
