Petrochemical Applications
Flare Gas
Petrochemical production must have compromising safety and to maximize efficiency. The Extrel Flare Gas Mass Spectrometers offer fast, speciated analysis in real-time.
Petrochemical & Syngas
Hydrocarbon production applications and Synthesis Gas (Syngas) compositions must be tightly controlled during processing in order to achieve high quality final products.
Ethylene
The production of Ethylene involves the steam cracking of hydrocarbons at extremely high temperatures. It is imperative to run an ethylene furnace as close as possible to the optimum set point.
Ethylene Oxide
To maximize the production of Ethylene Oxide (EO), producers use the MAX300-RTG Industrial Process Mass Spectrometer to calculate and control several key operating parameters.
Hydrogen Production
Efficient hydrogen production requires the full composition analysis of the natural gas feed stream in less than 10 seconds and requires fast, accurate heating-value analysis for product quality control.
Ammonia & Methanol
Ammonia and Methanol are produced from natural gas, utilizing very similar techniques. Gas analysis is required at several stages of the manufacturing process to ensure efficient production control.
Renewable Natural Gas
Extrel Process Mass Spectrometers are widely used to calculate the BTU value of feed streams in Hydrocarbon and Petrochemical applications to optimize real-time gas mixing, burner control, and process efficiency.
Polyethylene
Polymer manufacturers continue to seek methods to increase production without compromising safety and to maximize efficiency.
