AIR SEPARATION UNITS & NITROGEN PLANTS

Ensuring Gas Purity with CRDS Technology

Gas purity monitoring is crucial in air separation units and nitrogen plants, where the implementation of Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) gas analysis technology has proven invaluable. This innovative technology facilitates real-time monitoring of oxygen, nitrogen, and other gas streams, ensuring the achievement of desired purity levels.

Real-Time Monitoring and Quality Control

CRDS gas analysis technology enables the detection and measurement of impurities such as:
  • Water vapor
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Hydrocarbons
By monitoring gas purity in real-time, operators can:
  • Promptly identify deviations from specifications
  • Make necessary process adjustments
  • Ensure the end product meets required purity standards

Applications in Nitrogen Plants

In nitrogen plants, CRDS technology plays a critical role in monitoring the purity of produced nitrogen gas. This technology detects and measures impurities such as:
  • Oxygen
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Moisture
