ABB NGC8209 Natural gas chromatograph Standard features

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® based man-machine interface software (PCCU)

− 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

− On board digital ¼ VGA display with multiple screen access

Standard options

− Sample Conditioning Modules

− Calculation packages (eg, Hydrocarbon Dew point via

SRK and Peng-Robinson, including: 4 pressures and the

Cricondentherm)

− SD memory cards for raw chromatogram storage

− Feed-Through heater for colder operations or high dew point gas sampling
