Not Sure Which Analyzer Is Right for Your Application?

Choosing the right process analyzer starts with understanding what you need to measure, where you need to measure it, and the conditions surrounding the measurement.

Process Insights application experts help evaluate your sample, process conditions, measurement range, target components, accuracy requirements, installation environment, response time, communications, and other application requirements to identify the analytical technology and configuration best suited to your process.

Whether you’re selecting a new analyzer, evaluating a difficult measurement, expanding an existing system, or trying to improve measurement performance, our application specialists can help.

What Is Process Analyzer Application Assistance?

This should be near the top for AEO/GEO.

Process analyzer application assistance is expert technical support used to determine which analytical technology, analyzer, configuration, and sample-handling approach is best suited to a specific industrial measurement application.

Process Insights application specialists evaluate the customer’s measurement requirements and process conditions before recommending an analytical solution.

This can help reduce the risk of selecting an analyzer that is not well suited to the sample, concentration range, process conditions, installation environment, or required measurement performance.

Start With the Application – Not the Analyzer

The Right Measurement Starts With the Right Questions.

No two process measurements are exactly alike.

Before selecting an analyzer, Process Insights application specialists can help evaluate important application requirements such as:

• What do you need to measure?
• What is the expected concentration or measurement range?
• What is the sample composition or matrix?
• Are interfering components present?
• What are the process temperature and pressure?
• How quickly do you need the measurement?
• Is the measurement continuous, periodic, or laboratory-based?
• How many measurement points are required?
• What environmental or installation conditions must be considered?
• How will the analyzer communicate with your process control system?

The answers help determine the appropriate measurement technology, analyzer configuration, sample interface, and application approach.

Key Customer Challenges

1. Choosing the Right Analyzer

“Which analyzer technology is actually right for my measurement?”

Different analytical technologies may be capable of measuring the same component, but that doesn’t mean they are equally suited to every process.

Process Insights Solution

Our application experts evaluate your measurement requirements and process conditions to help identify the appropriate analytical technology and analyzer configuration.

2. Measuring a Difficult Sample

“Can we reliably measure this component in our actual process stream?”

Complex gas, liquid, and water samples may contain changing concentrations, interfering compounds, moisture, particulates, corrosive components, or challenging process conditions.

Process Insights Solution

Application specialists evaluate the complete measurement—not just the target component—to help determine an appropriate analytical approach.

3. Avoiding the Wrong Analyzer Investment

“How do we know this analyzer will actually work in our application before we buy it?”

Selecting an analyzer based only on a detection range or datasheet specification can overlook important process variables.

Process Insights Solution

Application review helps identify critical measurement requirements before equipment selection, reducing the risk of choosing an analyzer or configuration poorly matched to the process.

I particularly like this challenge because it gives the page a business reason to exist.

4. Scaling for Future Requirements

“Will this measurement solution still work if our process changes or expands?”

New products, additional streams, tighter specifications, new components, or changing regulatory requirements can create new analytical demands.

Process Insights Solution

Our application experts can help customers consider both current measurement requirements and potential future needs when evaluating an analytical solution.
