Ensure process safety across the natural gas value chain

Minimize process risks with best-fit instrumentation & solutions for natural gas & LNG

The natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry worldwide has a strong safety record. But the complex infrastructures and processes across the natural gas value chain hold many potential hazards meaning that safety cannot be taken for granted. The rapid growth in gas trade and globally developing integrated gas market are challenging the industry as it balances growth and productivity with maintaining and improving safety outcomes.

How we can help

We understand the essentials for optimal, safe operations across the gas value chain. Accurate, reliable measurement of critical process parameters sets the basis for safe and efficient operations. Our broad range of instruments and solutions provide the reliable real-time data and process control you need to solve your safety, productivity and environmental challenges.

  • Prevent pipeline corrosion and hydrate formation with efficient chemical injection systems

  • Accurate measurement and control of level, temperature, density, and rollover prediction, together with an advanced inventory management system for the highest LNG storage safety and inventory transparency

  • Instrument safety by design: robust sensors that reliably withstand extreme process conditions. A broad SIL-certified safety measurement portfolio developed and designed for safety-related functions in accordance with IEC 61508

  • Intelligent field devices with Heartbeat Technology have continuous self-diagnostic capabilities for the highest level of process safety and availability

Applications

H2O, H2S, CO2, and O2 measurements for pipeline integrity

Measurement of H2O, H2S, CO2, and O2 in natural gas pipelines at production and gathering sites, custody transfer points, compression stations, storage facilities, and in distribution systems is critically important to protect pipelines from corrosion and meet gas quality specifications.

corrosion in a natural gas pipeline
Chuyên môn của chúng tôi trong lĩnh vực

Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) and Quenched Fluorescence (QF) analyzers have proven to be highly effective for continuous on-line monitoring of these contaminants in natural gas pipelines.

  • High-resolution lasers provide selective and specific measurement of H2O, H2S, CO2 in natural gas streams of different composition

  • No field calibration needed: solid-state laser and detector components, and factory-calibration using gas mixture blended to simulate process gas

  • Highly accurate measurement with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) - traceable factory calibration

  • Accurate O2 measurements even when H2S is present, using Quenched Fluorescence technology

Chemical injection skids for gas pipelines

Chemical injection plays a vital role in the safe and efficient production and transport of natural gas. Corrosion inhibitors are injected into pipelines to maintain and extend the lifetime of gas pipelines, while kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) and methanol are used to prevent the formation of crystalline ice-like structures (Hydrates) that can plug pipelines and disrupt gas flow. The effectiveness of these inhibitors depends on injecting the right amount of chemicals.

LNG tank gauging & operational safety

A typical liquefied natural gas tank requires a range of instruments to measure liquid level and density, liquid and vapor temperature and pressure, skin temperature and more. For safe operation you must also make sure that two layers of different LNG densities are not rapidly mixing with the effect of releasing large amounts of gas – known as rollover.
