Current Gas Analyzer Portfolio 4 Gas Analyzer GasLab Q2 - Fast correlative analyzer for natural gas The GasLab Q2 ensures a fast online natural gas analysis with ISO/GPA/ASTM calculations. It has a small footprint and requires no carrier gas. It fulfills accuracy Class A according to OIML R140. Gas Chromatograph EnCal 3000 - High accuracy energy measurement The EnCal 3000 is specially designed for fiscal energy measurement of natural gas. It uses chromatography components based on the latest Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology and capillary columns. This yields in highly repeatable and accurate analysis results.

Complete GC module on single PCB 16 GCM1000 concept: - 1 injector, fixed loop - 2 detectors - Pre column + main column - Backflush to detector
GCM1000 concept 17
Separation column 18 Channel length of 6 100 cm Channel diameter of 0,2 0,4 mm Manufactured using MEMS technology: located on a silicon/pyrex chip in a meandering configuration.
Sample injector 19 The injection must guarantee the precise delivery of the sample in terms of volume, pressure, temperature and flow rate. Manufactured using MEMS technology: Channels etched in silicon and diaphragm valves. Achieves high-precision control of the injection volume and temperature.
Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD) 20 Wheatstone bridge Manufactured using MEMS technology: Circuit of 4 freely suspended platinum filaments on a Silicon/Pyrex chip.
Gas supply connections 21 Connection Position on the device/note Sample gas streams 1 5 Calibration gas cylinder with P1-1K Carrier gas cylinder with helium Sample and blocking vent (SBV) Module vent (MV) It is possible to measure up to 5 different gases in sequence. Used to maintain measurement accuracy. For transporting the measurement gas inside the device; waste gas is released into the housing. The unmeasured sample gas is released at ambient pressure. The waste sample and carrier gas is released at ambient pressure. Purge vent (PV) Flushing or bypass gas is released at a high flow rate.
Inputs/Outputs & Communication Interfaces 22 Digital outputs: 2 (24V DC, common earth, electrically isolated) Digital inputs: 2 (maximum supply voltage 9V, electrically isolated) Communication interfaces 1 x Ethernet (TCP/IP; Modbus; ftp; http) 2 x RS485 (Modbus serial/optional display near the device)
Local Display (optional) 23 LCD graphic display 128 x 64 dots Operates independently from ensuite Powered by the device Connected to optional IS display board Display values - Serial number, IP address - Errors/Warnings, operating mode - Current operating step, Current calculation standard with the selected settings - Higher heating value, Density at base conditions, Superior Wobbe index, Compressibility factor, Methane number, Carbon dioxide - Gas analysis with 10 components and the total of the C6+ components
