As natural gas sources have evolved to include sustainable and renewable sources, such as landfill gas and biogas, the need to provide greater gas chromatograph flexibility has accelerated. Existing designs provide the needed capabilities, but a smaller form factor and a more cost-effective solution is needed.
The Rosemount 470XA is said to address these and other needs with an analyser design based on the Rosemount 770XA Gas Chromatograph. This is claimed to open a wider range of use cases for a product in this segment, such as for carbon capture utilisation and storage, renewable natural gas, and custom applications.
According to Emerson, an LCD local operator interface and software reduces the need for specialised training by guiding operators through common operational and maintenance functions. Preinstalled Rosemount MON2020 software simplifies analyser configuration, maintenance, and data collection.
The 470XA does not require a shelter for operation in most environments, lowering total cost of ownership. A serviceable module combines all functional parts in one assembly, allowing for quick and easy field replacement or repair.
