Analytical Solutions Capabilities

Process Gas Analytical Systems - LNG​

LNG

Emerson’s Process Gas Analytical Solution is vital across all LNG production stages—treatment, fractionation, liquefaction, storage, and export. It analyzes and controls CO₂, sulfur compounds, moisture, and mercury; ensures process balance with accurate methane, ethane, propane, and nitrogen measurements; and optimizes cooling loops by analyzing refrigerant gas.

Process Gas Analytical Systems - FPSO

FPSO

Our Process Gas Analytical Solutions are fit to overcome the risk and complexities of offshore operations and ensure overall gas quality and BTU content meets the specifications of all parties involved. Our systems will provide full gas composition monitoring, provide concentrations of methane, CO2, H2S, water vapor, re-injection gas quality control and more.

Process Gas Analytical Systems - Power

Power​

Your power plant may rely on boiler or furnace combustion control, turbine inlet and exhaust monitoring, flue gas desulfurization, and emissions monitoring to meet all operational targets. Our comprehensive Process Gas Analytical Solution fully integrates required and high-performing sampling systems, analyzers, gas chromatographs, sensors, and control systems needed to achieve your goals.​

Process Gas Analytical Systems - Flare​

Flare

Flares protect against over-pressurization, explosions, and buildup of hazardous gases like H₂S. They also prevent uncontrolled VOC releases, meeting safety and environmental regulations. Emerson’s Process Gas Analytical Solution ensures accurate data for reporting, compliance, and reliable flare system performance to support safety and operational goals.​

Process Gas Analytical Systems - Petrochemical​

Petrochemical

Petrochemical plant performance depends on accurate monitoring and control of gas and liquid composition. Emerson’s Process Gas Analytical Solution ensures safety, quality, and efficiency by tracking key gases like hydrocarbons, CO, CO₂, H₂S, O₂, and SO₂. Real-time data enables precise adjustments to flow, temperature, pressure, combustion, and separation processes.​

Process Gas Analytical Systems - Refining​

Refining

In refineries, Emerson’s Process Gas Analytical Solution ensures safety, product quality, emissions compliance, and efficiency. It supports core units: distillation (quality, leak detection), hydrocracker (H₂, sulfur), reformer (H₂ tracking), SRU (H₂S/SO₂ balance), and flare systems (pressure relief, safe combustion, and emission control).​
