Westech Industrial is gearing up to make a significant impact at the upcoming Grande Prairie Canadian School of Hydrocarbon Measurement event scheduled for October 26th at the Tara Centre, Evergreen Park. With a booth set up at spot 14, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with Westech’s experts, explore their innovative solutions, and gain insights into the latest trends and technologies shaping the hydrocarbon measurement landscape.
One of the highlights of Westech’s participation is a series of presentations they will be delivering, shedding light on critical aspects of hydrocarbon measurement and analysis. Here’s a glimpse into the topics that will be covered:
SAMPLING AND CONDITIONING OF NATURAL GAS CONTAINING ENTRAINED LIQUIDS
The value of natural gas is intrinsically tied to its energy content and volume, which are determined through analysis. Ensuring accurate analysis is crucial for a correct assessment of the gas’s value. However, the journey towards achieving analytical accuracy is fraught with challenges, particularly when it comes to sampling natural gas with high Hydrocarbon Dew Point (HCDP) temperatures.
This presentation delves into the hurdles encountered when sampling natural gas at, near, or below its HCDP temperature. It will explore various strategies to mitigate the issues associated with such sampling scenarios. The discussion will also touch on the industry’s lack of consensus on what constitutes a “representative” sample, the misapplication of hardware, and the underutilization of available resources designed to aid in solving sampling problems.
Delving into PA TDL Technology: A Modern Take on H2S and H2O Measurement
In another enlightening presentation Westech will focus on the intricacies and advancements of Photoacoustic Tunable Diode Laser (PA TDL) Technology in measuring H2S and H2O. This technology, although rooted in discoveries from the 1800s, has evolved to become a precise tool for molecular measurement in today’s hydrocarbon industry.
The journey of PA TDL technology began with Alexander Graham Bell’s experiments, where he utilized sunlight to explore the behavior of molecules when heated by light. His setup, comprising a chopper wheel, lens, resonator chamber, and an acoustic sensor, laid the groundwork for understanding molecular expansion and the sound produced during this process.
Fast forward to the modern era, PA TDL Technology has honed this concept by employing a laser to excite the molecules. Unlike traditional Tunable Diode Laser (TDL) methods, PA TDL capitalizes on the sound generated from the pressure amplification in the chamber when molecules are excited by the laser light. This sound is then measured and correlated to the volume of the molecule in the sample, offering a more precise measurement paradigm.
The shift to using a laser in PA TDL Technology underscores the drive for precision, setting a new benchmark in the measurement of H2S and H2O, which are crucial components in the hydrocarbon industry.
