Analyzers for Petrochemical & Refining APPLICATIONS

Innovative Gas Analysis and Process Control Solutions for the Petrochemical and Refining Industries

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

Staying Ahead of Emissions Regulations

In December 2023, the EPA introduced new Emissions Guidelines, requiring states to create plans to reduce methane emissions from existing oil and gas sources. Since oil and natural gas operations are the largest industrial source of methane pollution in the U.S., these new standards mark a major step toward a cleaner, more sustainable future. Read the EPA guidelines on Quad O.

Partnering with Process Insights

We know the midstream and downstream petrochemical industries inside and out. That’s why we focus on delivering solutions that match your specific application, operating environment, and budget. Our goal is to provide the most stable, accurate, and cost-effective process analysis solutions to keep your operations safe, compliant, and efficient.

At Process Insights, we don’t just deliver instruments — we deliver confidence. And we’re here to help every step of the way.
