The PetroAlert® 9200 gas analyzer combines the selective detection of a gas chromatograph (GC) with the continuous monitoring abilities of a total hydrocarbon analyzer (THA) in a single, compact, sensitive and stable instrument. The PetroAlert 9200 Gas Chromatograph is a petroleum hydrocarbon analyzer suitable for the oil & gas industry.
The PetroAlert 9200 is specifically engineered to meet the requirements of the oil and gas industry’s exploratory surface logging process. Its speed and accuracy allow well loggers monitoring a drill site to analyze the hydrocarbons within a well, both quantitatively and qualitatively, while drilling. That ability makes for a more efficient drilling process and more timely evaluation of a well’s potential. Each PetroAlert is factory-configured to meet specific customer monitoring requirements.
The analyzer incorporates dual-flame ionization detectors (FIDs): one dedicated to the GC and the other dedicated to total hydrocarbon measurement. The GC performs fast C1 to C5 analysis (< 30 seconds, preserving the C1-C2 separation at 200:1 concentration ratios) with a detection limit of < 10 ppm as methane (CH4), while the total hydrocarbon detector continuously monitors total hydrocarbons down to 0.003% and up to 100% as CH4. The analyzer's automatic calibration feature is ideal for unattended operation. Custom GC applications are available upon request.
Our PetroAlert analyzers are industry proven and adopted worldwide by major oil and petrochemical companies as the finest FID-based hydrocarbon field analyzers available while providing automated lab quality data.
