Petrochemical and Refinery Applications
Applications


Example Problem: Impurities in polymerization grade Ethylene and propylene. 


Ethylene and propylene producers are primarily faced with product concerns.  The most common impurities are: 
 
COS H2S Total Sulfurs Ethylene
Propylene Arsine CO CO2
Acetylene Methanol Other Oxygenates H2O

These compounds are monitored both on-line for process control and in the laboratory for product quality.  Calibration and routine validation of these systems are primary issues.  All of these chemicals are reactive and/or polar, and do not store reliably as static mixtures in cylinders.  This makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to know the accuracy of the standards being dispensed by these cylinders. 

Solution: KIN-TEK's Span Pac™ I Series Industrial Standards Generator and 491M Series Laboratory Standards Generator provide calibration standards for all these compounds, using KIN-TEK's NIST-traceable Trace Source™ disposable or refillable permeation tubes. 
  1. The standards are generated fresh, eliminating the storage/deterioration problem. 

  2. KIN-TEK's NIST-traceable Trace Source™ Permeation Tubes improve the accuracy of the analysis. 

  3. Our Gas Standards Generator Systems perform multi-point calibrations with ease.
