The only modular sampling system engineered for precise, multi-sample high-pressure natural gas analysis with direct GC integration
Accurate and reliable sampling is critical in the natural gas industry, where compositional changes can greatly affect energy content, billing, and process control. Traditional sampling methods often introduce temperature or pressure variations that lead to inaccurate gas chromatography (GC) analysis.
The Wasson-ECE High Pressure Natural Gas Sampling System solves this problem by maintaining sample integrity through controlled heating, regulated pressure, and contamination-free delivery from up to five sample streams directly into an Agilent GC.
Wasson-ECE Instrumentation has over 35 years of experience designing custom analytical systems that integrate seamlessly with Agilent GCs. This system was developed from field-proven configurations used in refinery, midstream, and laboratory applications worldwide.
- Multi-Sample Capability (Up to 5 Sources): Supports simultaneous connection of heated cylinders, calibration gases, and ambient samples, allowing rapid switching between streams for improved throughput.
- Precision Thermal and Pressure Control: Independent heating zones (up to 150°C) and high-pressure regulators ensure sample consistency and eliminate condensation or phase separation during transfer.
- Seamless GC Integration: Designed specifically for Agilent GCs with direct BCD control and event cable communication enabling both manual and software-based operation.
- Maximum Inlet Pressure: 3000 psi
- Adjustable Outlet Pressure: 0–100 psi
- Maximum Temperature: 150°C (system) / 200°C (oven)
- Power: 120V/230V
- Control: Digital/BCD GC interface
- Sample Streams: 5 (combination of heated samples, calibration standards and/or 1 Tedlar bag samples)
- Vacuum pump: diaphragm vacuum pump included
