Analytical Instrumentation Systems

Training Provided by Petroleum Training Institute This course is for the process engineer/ technician presented with the task of maintaining and operating on-line process analysers in a production plant. The main topics covered are listed below. Sampling of Liquids and Gases Sample handling for process gas chromatographs Pressure let down systems General analyser housing design Sampling of solids and slurries Thermal Conductivity and Refraction Introduction to thermal conductivity and refraction Measurement of density Measurement of viscosity Measurement of moisture Electrolyte Conductivity Measurement Introduction to electrolyte conductivity measurement Ion selective electrodes Uses for non ion selective electrodes The Absorption of Light (Infra red and ultraviolet absorption) Infra red absorption Ultra violet and visible light X-ray fluorescence analyser and the mass spectrometer The spectrometer Chromatography Introduction to gas chromatography Parts of a gas chromatograph Types of chromatography The chromatographic injector The chromatographic oven The chromatographic column The detector system The recording system The process gas chromatograph Measurement of oxygen content Measurement of moisture content Principles of water quality monitoring Monitoring of hazards

Analytical Instrumentation Systems The main topics covered by this course are those analytical measurements which on might expect to be made on a hydrocarbon processing plant. We wish to measure sulfur emitted from a smoke stack, the constituent parts of a process gas stream, the oxygen level in a waste water treatment station or the smoke issued from a boiler system and most of all, we wish to measure the concentration of dangerous gases such as hydrogen sulphide (H2S). All these instrument systems are studied in some detail with reference being made to specific measuring systems.
Assessment is by multiple choice test paper and where appropriate by practical exercise.
The course would benefit those tasked with the job of maintaining these instruments and needing a general knowledge level to aid them in the execution of their duties.
