COMPOSITION ANALYSIS IN PIPELINE GAS & NGL WITH PROCESS MASS SPECTROMETRY Mass Spectrometry (MS) can be found in most industrial laboratories for detailed compositional analysis of process fluids and gases. Though accurate, fast, and complete, laboratory analysis using MS can only provide process information regarding intermediate or final product analysis for quality control programs and production history.

TECHNIQUES OF COMPOSITE GAS SAMPLING The level of interest in effective and accurate gas sampling techniques is currently at a very high priority within the natural gas industry. With the fluctuating ranges in natural gas prices, exploration interests, profitability, deregulation and consolidation of the work force, recoverable revenue must be accounted for. At large volume delivery points, a 3-5 BTU…

ULTRASONIC METERS FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS An ultrasonic meter falls into the classification of inferential meters. Unlike positive displacement meters that capture volume to totalize volume, inferential meters measure flowing gas velocity to totalize volume. Orifice meters use pressure drop to measure velocity to infer volume and turbine meters use the speed of the rotor to measure velocity to infer volume,…

DETERMINATION OF HYDROGEN SULFIDE AND TOTAL SULFUR IN NATURAL GAS Hydrogen sulfide and other sulfur bearing compounds exist naturally in many natural gas fields throughout the world. It is generally necessary to remove these sulfur bearing compounds from the gas in order to preserve public safety, reduce corrosion in pipelines, meet contractual agreements and to control odor in the gas. Thus the determination of hydrogen…

FUNDAMENTALS OF NATURAL GAS CHEMISTRY In order to understand the chemistry of natural gas, it is important to be familiar with some basic concepts of general chemistry. Here are some definitions you should know: Matter – anything that has mass and occupies space. Energy – the capacity to do work or transfer heat. Elements – substances that cannot be decomposed…

FUNDAMENTALS OF EGM ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS We have all heard of or seen the devastating effects of a direct lightning burst. Communication equipment destroyed. Transmitters and EFM devices vaporized into slag metal. Complete process and measurement systems down with extended recovery times. These effects are the most dramatic and the easiest to trace. However, these kinds of events are rare. The…

CHARACTERISTICS OF ROTARY METER PERFORMANCE This paper highlights several rotary meter performance characteristics. These characteristics profile a rotary meter’s capabilities in a wide array of applications from production to transmission, and distribution. Most of the characteristics have minimum standards adopted by agencies like AGA or ASTM. I’ll identify these standards, and incorporate themwhere applicableinto my paper. In discussing these characteristics,…

FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF CLAMP-ON ULTRASONIC FLOW METERS This paper is aimed at ultrasonic natural gas meters that use transit time across the gas pipe as the measurement variable. Custody transfer meters using sensors wetted with gas are the more familiar meter format. Clamp-on meters are quite similar.
