Air Separation Units & Nitrogen Plants

CRDS TECHNOLOGY IN AIR SEPARATION UNITS AND NITROGEN PLANTS

Gas purity monitoring is essential in air separation units, where the use of CRDS (Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy) gas analysis technology proves invaluable. This technology enables the real-time monitoring of oxygen and nitrogen streams as they undergo separation from air, ensuring the desired purity levels are achieved.

CRDS gas analysis technology allows for the detection and measurement of impurities such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons, which can impact the final product’s quality. By monitoring the purity of the streams in real-time, operators can promptly identify any deviations and make necessary process adjustments to ensure the end product meets the required specifications.

Similarly, in nitrogen plants, CRDS gas analysis technology is employed to monitor the purity of the produced nitrogen gas. This technology enables the detection and measurement of impurities such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and moisture that may affect the quality of nitrogen gas. Real-time monitoring empowers operators to adjust the production process, ensuring the final product adheres to the necessary purity standards.

We know your process and how critical it is for you to protect precious and limited resources.
