Hazardous area trace oxygen analyzers for petrochemical processing

In many petrochemical processes oxygen is an undesired contaminant that negatively impacts the reaction or degrades the final product. E.g. olefin co-catalyst systems will provide high yields and quality of the final polyolefin if the olefin feedstock stream is absolutely oxygen free. UHP Oxygen analyzers with ppb or low ppm capabilities are needed to ensure the production can be maintained at optimum.

Application/ServiceMeasurementGas StreamAnalyzer Options
Monitoring pure O2 generated to enrich existing processes and boost product yield and reduce NOx emissions:
  • fluid catalytic cracking
  • sulfur recovery (reduce content in vehicle fuels and use heavier crude feedstocks without being constrained by the capacity of the sulfur plant)
  • sulfuric acid regeneration (used in the production of titanium dioxide)
  • aluminum smelters
  • glass smelters

Application/ServiceMeasurementGas StreamAnalyzer Options
Measurement of trace O2 contamination that can act as a catalyst for undesirable polymerization during steam cracking hydrocarbon feedstocks (ethane, propane, butane, naptha, natural gas, etc.) to produce olefin feedstocks (ethylene, propylene, butadiene, H2 and others). These are separated and purified and an increasing O2 levels indicates an air leak creating a potentially explosive hazard.250 ppb to 5 ppmHydrocarbon feedstocks, ethylene, propylene, butadiene GPR-18 MS

Application/ServiceMeasurementGas StreamAnalyzer Options
Measuring the purity of oxygen used in conjunction with closed loop processes to enable producers of intermediate products to switch from olefin feedstocks to less expensive alkane feedstocks such as butane, ethane and propane. It allows recirculation of off-gases and smaller vessel size (additional cost savings) while reducing the potential for explosive hazards. Products:
  • acrylonitrile (propane in lieu of propylene)
  • ethylene oxide & ethylene dichloride
  • vinyl acetate monomer
  • caprolactam
  • maleic anhydride
