Quantitech's Hydrogen Monitoring Analyser Improves Process Efficiency at Oil Refinery Isomerisation Plant

Instrumentation specialist Quantitech launched a range of hydrogen –specific gas analysers in the UK and Ireland in 2007. Since that time Managing Director Keith Golding says “The solid-state sensor technology from H2scan has proved highly popular in a wide variety of applications, but online process monitoring is becoming the most popular because of the rapid return on investment that this technology can deliver. For example, an oil refinery in California recently purchased an explosion proof version of the online analyser, the HY-OPTIMA™ 2700, for its isomerisation plant and this has improved process efficiency, extended catalyst life and allowed longer process runs.”
