Gas Analyzers and Water Analyzers for Petrochemical & Refining

Analyzers for Petrochemical & Refining APPLICATIONS

At Process Insights, we deliver innovative instrumentation, advanced gas analysis, and precise process control solutions for the petrochemical and refining industries. As your single-source provider, we offer complete flare gas analysis systems designed to ensure total compliance with EPA and industry regulations — including Quad O, HON, MON, EMACT, RSR, Subpart Ja, HRVOC, and more.

Petrochemical Applications Demand Precision

Petrochemicals are the foundation of countless products, from clothing and packaging to electronics and appliances. Within this complex industry, a wide range of processes require continuous monitoring of critical compounds such as:

  • Ethane
  • Propane
  • Ethylene
  • Polyethylene
  • Ethylene Oxide
  • Chloride
  • Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Furthermore, producers are constantly exploring alternative methods to improve efficiency, particularly in processes involving ammonia, ethylene, and ethylene oxide. Optimizing these operations requires reliable, real-time gas analysis to protect product quality and ensure operational safety.

Why Gas Analysis Matters in Petrochemical Operations

Operating in petrochemical and refining environments means working with hazardous, toxic, flammable, and explosive gases. Without diligent monitoring, these substances pose serious risks to both safety and compliance. With advanced gas analyzers from Process Insights, operators can:

  • Detect and measure dangerous gases instantly
  • Implement safety measures to prevent accidents
  • Protect personnel and assets from harm
  • Meet stringent environmental and emissions standards

High-Viscosity Vacuum Residuum Desulfurization (VRDS)

Measuring total sulfur in heavy Vacuum Residuum Desulfurization (VRDS) paraffin samples present significant challenges for online analyzers, due to their high viscosity and high temperatures required to vaporize the sample, which accelerates thermal oxidation and fouling of the sample transfer line.
