The DVLS Refinery Gas Analyzer is based upon the Agilent 8890 Gas Chromatograph (GC) with built-in intelligence and electronic pneumatic control (EPC). The Agilent Gas Chromatograph consists of three different channels; each channel is configured with its own detector. The system includes:
- a Flame Ionization Detector (FID)
- two Thermal Conductivity Detectors (TCD)
- a Split/Splitless injection port
- a DVLS Side Carrier with heated zones containing the valves and Molsieve columns
- Ultrasilc coated sample path
- PetroReporter software to report the composition and gas calculations
Da Vinci developed a DVLS Side Carrier with heated zones containing the valves and columns. This unique hardware design includes a built-in colum conditioning which reduces the system downtime during the periodical regeneration of the Molsieve columns.
The Agilent GC is controlled by the Agilent OpenLab software. The DVLS PetroReporter software automates all aspects of the calibration, gas analysis through customized data reporting. Examples of the included calculations are Liquid Volume, Molar Weight, Real Specific Gravity, CV, BTU etc.
