 A process analyser system usually requires a sample conditioning system, a process analyser, and data output devices.
Properly designed systems also require overall considerations as to the sample take-off probe, sample line, calibration facilities, utilities, sample disposal, safety and manual lab sample points.
Process analyser systems can provide a significant economic return when incorporated into process optimization or when used for product quality control.
Analyzers systems are today also frequently used for monitoring pollutants and stack emissions.
Mechatest concern about the complete design, engineering, procurement and assembly of the main components of the system:
- Sample Pre-conditioning system
- Sample Conditioning system
- Sample stream switching
- Analyser
- Calibration system
- Sample recovery system
The complete system is used to extract a representative sample from the process stream and deliver it (still representative) to the analyser at the required analyser inlet conditions with minimum time-lag, while avoiding excessive sample consumption.
This simple sounding task is however complicated by the fact that every component in the chain can be a cause of error. Major causes of error are caused by design faults like "cold spots", "dead ends", "hold ups' etc.
