| Process analyzers perform many different functions in the chemical processing environment. Three examples of these functions are: safety systems, optimization systems, and quality systems. In safety systems, process analyzers are used as area monitors (O2, LEL) and as “critical” analyzers that provide engineering interlocks (not only administrative) for process control. Optimization systems incorporate analyzers to enable plants to run tighter control limits and reduce lab sampling thereby reducing overall cost per pound of product. In remote areas, such as pipeline stations, process analyzers can be used as quality systems to characterize the products being transported prior to their use in the chemical plant. This presentation will highlight these three applications of process analyzers in the chemical processing environment. |
