The Western Research® Model 241CE Dew Point Monitor is a quality control tool for natural gas processing, distribution, and consumption. Detection and measurement of hydrocarbon dewpoint is achieved in a single cell, single cycle operation. APPLICATIONS Pipeline quality and custody transfer Specification monitoring Gas turbine feed gas monitoring BENEFITS Accurate monitoring of hydrocarbon dew points[…]
The hydrocarbon dew point is the temperature (at a given pressure) at which the hydrocarbon components of any hydrocarbon-rich gas mixture, such as natural gas, will start to condense out of the gaseous phase. It is often also referred to as the HDP or the HCDP. The maximum temperature at which such condensation takes place is called the cricondentherm. The hydrocarbon dew point is a function of the gas composition as well as the pressure.
