The NGC8209 is a natural gas chromatograph designed for on-site analysis and heating value computation of natural gas. It employs advanced chromatographic techniques to provide detailed data from nitrogen through C6+ and includes a third column for separating the C6+ fraction. The device utilizes the modular XSeries software framework, allowing integration of extended analysis data, including NC6,Äôs, NC7,Äôs, NC8,Äôs, and C9+. This chromatograph features a built-in 32-bit digital controller, electronic carrier pressure regulators, and advanced low-noise digital electronics, ensuring high sensitivity and repeatability. It supports various calculations, including heating value, Wobbe index, and relative density, and offers options for Hydrocarbon Dew Point and Speed of Sound calculations. The NGC8209 is equipped with a user-friendly interface, comprehensive diagnostics, and multiple communication ports, facilitating easy integration into existing systems. The device is designed for low utility usage, requiring minimal power and no instrument air, making it cost-effective to operate. Its modular design allows for easy installation and commissioning, making it suitable for custody transfer and metrology quality applications in natural gas measurement.
After installing the NGC8209, information is readily accessible for use by other programs. The unit’s single controller seamlessly processes all chromatograms, performs all needed calculations, and reports results in real time, for accurate and timely information on the product in process. Other applications—alarm processors, trending and reporting software, etc.—can access this information as needed. Like the NGC8206, the NGC8209 retains this as historical data, to be referred to later for custody transfer, or to verify transmitter operation performance.
With the NGC8209’s easy-to-use, graphical, user-interface software, designated users can directly access information with a laptop PC, or indirectly via a cell phone, satellite, radio, or phone modem.
