GCTI Analyzer Technician Topics:
-
Gas Chromatography - One of the most popular analytical methods in the Houston area for hydrocarbon measurement.
-
H2S/Total Sulfur - Introduction to the lead acetate tape methods of
Total sulfur/ H2S analysis. -
​IR/UV - Some gases absorb unique light wavelengths. This property can be used to detect the concentration of a selected gas in a mixture. An Infrared (IR) light source is focused through a sample cell containing a continuously flowing sample of the gas mixture to be measured and onto a detector.
-
​Paramagnetic - The paramagnetic oxygen analyzer is based on the scientific principle that oxygen is a paramagnetic material. When a test sample containing oxygen is introduced into the test cell, the oxygen in the sample is attracted to the point of maximum field strength.
-
​Moisture - The presence of water in petroleum liquids has its impact from a commercial point of view as well as from a technological point of view. Commercially, excessive water reduces the percentage of oil components in a crude oil, making the crude oil less valuable.
Technically, excessive water in crude oils will affect the distillation process. If he presence of water in the final product exceeds its specification, this will affect its fuel properties and value.
