TSA-100 sulfur analyzer
Insusceptible to component cross-interference, the solid-state TSA-100 sulfur analyzer provides accurate total sulfur measurements, even when H2S, SO2 and mercaptans are present in the sample. It works by having a xenon light source send light through fiber optic cables into a flow cell, where the sample’s unique characteristics dictate its interaction with the light. The light enters a holographic grating, which separates white light into its components, such that a diode array detector can measure the intensity of radiation at each wavelength. As measurements report on the absorption of light by the sample comp- onents, the concentrations of the components are revealed. Because fiber optic cables are used, the analyzer can be installed far from explosive or poisonous gases. The diode array produces full high-resolution spectrum analysis, enabling easy switches between extreme wavelength ranges to provide instantaneous and continuous measurements at 0–10 ppm and 0–100%. The device can measure total sulfur content in two ways. One is the standard method, in which the hydrocarbon sample is placed in a hot combustion tube with an oxygen-rich environment, where the sulfur oxidizes to SO2. The analyzer uses the absorption of the SO2 to determine the concentration of the single component and total sulfur. The other is the direct method, in which the analyzer mathematically derives the concentration of each sulfur compound from the original process stream’s high-resolution absorbance spectra.

ECLIPSE Process online analyzer software Release 10
Release 10 of ECLIPSE Process online analyzer software offers improved control over the detection system and instantaneous user-interface response, as well as configurable analysis and calibration methods (ACM) calculations that can be run simultaneously. Its features include an ACM report generator, automatic light-level adjustment, fault-alarm condition setup, and software-controlled relay activation from each screen. Its diagnostics and reporting routines monitor system performance and trigger rapid action when required.

Microspec MCP-100 analyzer
The Microspec MCP-100 online real-time water-in-solvents analyzer offers considerable savings over current technologies. It can replace equipment in labs where personnel perform routine liquid-sample applications that require titration to determine the quantity of water in the sample — with the MCP-100, this measurement is performed continuously. The analyzer can be used in a wide variety of applications with water in: acrylonitrile, acrylic acid, chlorine, methylcyclohexane, hexane, acetone, panthenol, aniline, silicon oil, liquid ammonia, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, 2-methyl-5-mercaptothiadiazole, vinyl chloride, caprolactam, piperidine, piperazine, acetopenone, benzophenone, oils, pesticide formulations, urea, cyclopropl methyl ketone, lemongrass oil, diesel, gasoline, and methyl ethyl ketone peroxide. The analyzer can also be used for gas applications, such as CO2, CO, and CH.
