Direct measurement of hydrocarbon dew point in gas streams
The Condumax II uses a chilled mirror measurement principle to determine the hydrocarbon dew point directly. A controlled mirror surface is cooled until hydrocarbon condensation forms, and the system detects the exact temperature at which this occurs.
This direct measurement method provides a true physical dew-point value, rather than an inferred calculation. As a result, you get reliable data for controlling gas quality and ensuring compliance with contractual specifications.
The system is designed for continuous online monitoring and can be installed directly in natural gas processes or integrated with sampling systems for optimal performance.
Key features for natural gas applications
- Direct hydrocarbon dew-point measurement using chilled mirror technology
- Continuous online monitoring for process control and compliance
- ATEX-certified design for hazardous area installations
- High-pressure capability for natural gas systems
- Robust construction for demanding field environments
- Automatic detection of condensation point for accurate results
- Low maintenance operation with reliable long-term performance
- Integration with control systems via standard outputs
Typical applications for Condumax II
The Condumax II is specifically designed for natural gas and hydrocarbon gas applications where dew-point control is critical.
Common use cases include:
- Natural gas transmission and distribution networks
- Gas processing and treatment plants
- Custody transfer and gas quality measurement
