Natural Gas Analyzers

A naturally occurring mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons, natural gas consisting primarily of methane but can include other hydrocarbons (C1-C4 chain length hydrocarbons) and small amounts of other impurities (O2, N2, CO2, H2, He and sulfur containing hydrocarbons). Agilent configures and chemically tests a suite of GC analyzers to evaluate chemical composition of natural gas, natural gas liquids and the by-products resulting from natural gas processing.

  • Pre-configured and chemically tested GC and MicroGC analyzers address laboratory and field analysis of gaseous and liquefied natural gas.
  • Rapid analysis of hydrocarbon composition (C1 - C6+) and impurity concentrations.
  • Includes CD-ROM with optimized retention time locked acquisition method for the specific analysis, application note and quick start guide for faster method development.
  • Reporting macro automates calculation and reporting of data in mole %, weight %, or volume % and calorific value (heat content).
  • On-site installation and check out of Analyzer performance by a factory certified technician confirms that your instrument and application meet Agilent’s analytical performance criteria.
  • System familiarization ensures that your team is "ready to go" with calibration and validation immediately following system installation.
  • The highly efficient and rigorous packing technology used in Agilent J&W packed GC columns assures column-to-column reproducibility and ultimate efficiency.
