STANDARD FEATURES

• Modular design includes:

• Three analysis trains, two for N2 through C6+

and one for the C6 through C9+

• Modular software – application based plug-in

software modules

• Manifold modules

• Analysis sections contain stream selection

solenoids, temperature and pressure regulation,

32 bit digital detector electronics, replaceable

column / valve modules and a low power 32 bit

digital controller, using Windows CE®

(internal to GC unit)

• Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or XP based

man-machine interface software (PCCU_NGC)

• Lithium battery-backed RAM

• Two remote serial digital communications ports;

one local port (USB Client)

• One USB Host and one Ethernet port

• Comprehensive diagnostics and wizards

available to users

• Three-level security for user access control

(Read only, Operate and Read/Write)

• Audit-quality historical data; date and time stamped

• Standard Calculations; US and SI:

◊ Heating value

◊ Relative density

◊ GPM

◊ Wobbe

◊ Methane-number

• Auto-start cycle automatically after power failure:

◊ Stabilizes oven temperature

◊ Confirms modules’ functions

◊ Checks for operational alarms

◊ Returns to pipeline streams

• Operational alarms available with each analysis cycle.

• Detectors - constant temperature, glass

encapsulated thermister beads for rugged

service and long life. Will not burn out on loss of

carrier.

• 10 port valves have no moving metal parts in

each analysis unit

• Low utility usage - low-power, low-carrier, no

instrument air required 

• On demand or scheduled automatic calibration

and diagnostics

• Continuous monitoring for alarms

STANDARD OPTIONS

• H2S measurement from 0.02% and higher

• Sample Conditioning Modules

• On board digital 1/4 VGA display with multiple

screen access

• Calculation packages (eg, Hydrocarbon Dew

point via SRK and Peng-Robinson, including: 4

pressures and the Cricondentherm)

• Integral gas flow tube calculations (e.g. Orifice or

turbine meter calculations)

• SD memory cards for raw chromatogram storage

• Feed-Through heater for colder operations or

high dew point gas sampling
