Hyper-Extended Refinery Gas Analysis (RGA)

Analyzer Description

Configuration:

6-valve, 6-columns (packed and capillary), TCD / TCD / FID

Sample Type:

Natural gas, sour gas, other refinery gases

Components Separated:

C1 - C7, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide

Additional Column:

Heavy hydrocarbon separation up to C12

Lower Detection Limits:

20 ppm for hydrocarbons, 100 ppm for permanent gases, 500 ppm for H2S, 400 ppm for carbon monoxide

Methods Met:

ASTM D1945, ASTM D1946, ASTM D7833, UOP 539, Wasson-ECE 783, W2484

Typical Chromatogram

Key Features and Benefits

  • The heavy hydrocarbon analysis is performed as a separate run or delayed injection
  • Can upgrade with an additional FID for a single injection analysis (Wasson-ECE 783D)
  • Liquid valves can be added for LPG analysis
  • The backflush peak can be tailored to specific samples (e.g. C6+ or C8+ backflush composite peaks)
