ANALECT Hydrocarbon Smart System

Robust, Refinery FTIR/FT-NIR Monitoring 

 NextGen Process FTIR Monitoring Solution

Our ANALECT® Hydrocarbon Smart System™ is the NextGen Process FTIR Monitoring Solution.  The HSS analyzer is an online system that provides real-time, accurate and stable monitoring of physical properties and chemical compositions for refinery process streams. The HSS utilizes patented ExxonMobil technology. The HSS analyzer offers unique simple tools for sample system control, model development and DCS communications. The 15” monitor provides easy access to the user-friendly HMI, and provides real-time, accurate and stable monitoring of physical and chemical compositions for refinery process streams.  Due to the use of the extended Mid-IR range and its large information content, the system is capable of on-line monitoring of crude oil at the start of the refining process to the fuels blender. 

The ANALECT Hydrocarbon Smart System has an extended Near-IR spectral range enables optimal light and heavy hydrocarbons analysis which can analyze up to 24 process streams.  It also allows for optional Dual and Triple Cell configuration for multi-stream analysis with an optional heated sample system to analyze heavy hydrocarbons.  As with our other analyzers there is seamless calibration transfer between the Diamond 20™ lab system and our Hydrocarbon Smart System analyzer.  Customers include BP, Eni Agip, ExxonMobil, Gazprom Neft, Kyokuto, Mozyr Refinery, Nansei, OMV AG, Petrom SA, Phillips 66, SAMREF, Saras, Saudi Aramco, Staatsoile, Takreer, Tonen General, Tupras, and Valero.
