LNG analysis with Natural Gas Chromatograph NGC8206

From our experience we highly recommend LNG analysis with the ABB Natural Gas Chromatograph NGC8206, this analyser represents the most rugged, economical, versatile, and high-precision on-line gas chromatographs in the industry. Designed with flow computer and chromatograph capabilities for fiscal metering, the NGC8200 series provides not only best-in-class, on-site LNG analysis, but also offers a highly versatile platform that integrates many of the functions you need to deliver greater productivity.

The NGC8106 is a field mounted GC capable of a C6+ natural gas analysis.

The NGC8206 enables you to remotely analyze natural gas composition from N2 to C6+ (optional with H2S separation).

The ideal solution for natural gas custody transfer measurement with outputs in heating value (Btu/CV Value) and Wobbe Index.

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a mixture of hydrocarbons, ranging from methane (C1) to butane (C4), with approx. 85 to 95% methane, and little C5+. The main usage of LNG is for domestic heating as well as fuel for producing electricity. LNG is one of the energy sources showing continuous growth in parallel with global demand.

The stages involved in the LNG chain are exploration, liquefaction, shipping, storage and regasification, in some of these stages you need LNG samples and analysis to measure the LNG quality and energy content. 

The LNG sampling systems allows storing samples in containers for the purpose of analysing LNG in the laboratory. At any stage during this entire online measurement process, the LNG sample shall not be fractionated into a liquid and a gas phase!

The LNG has a temperature of -162°C @ 1 bar, and under these conditions it is not easy to keep the sample representative!

For an accurate LNG measuring system you need an expert, and you need a "reliable" LNG Probe Vaporizer and a natural gas analyser system.
