How Can You Reduce Fugitive Emissions During Sampling? Consider Closed-Loop Systems Matt Dixon , Global Technical Lead, Swagelok Company Unintentional release of emissions into the atmosphere can occur at various locations throughout refineries or chemical plants. And due to increasingly stringe...

A Practical Guide to Gas Sampling Methods Matt Dixon , Senior Principal Design Engineer, Swagelok Optimizing your chemical processing costs and maintaining high-quality product outputs require regular capture of representative process fluids for laboratory analysis.  Grab sampling —also called spo...

Controlling Costs and Reducing Errors in Liquid Grab Sampling Grab sampling plays a critical role in accurate, profitable industrial processes. The practice can help validate process conditions, ensure end products are up to specification, and provide the information necessary to evaluate environme...

Using a Phase Diagram for Vapor Pressure Curves While phase diagrams are primarily used by chemists in laboratory environments, these tools can be astonishingly useful for mechanical engineers and plant managers tasked with sample analysis. In some analytical systems, a liquid sample must be conver...

Grab sampling… …also known as spot sampling, laboratory sampling, field sampling, or sometimes just sampling—involves the collection of a sample fluid in apipeline, tank, or system. The sample is then analyzed to help operators validate process conditions, evaluate products for environmental emissi...

How to Manage Vaporization in Sampling Systems Jon Kestner It is not easy to vaporize a sample, nor is it always possible. However, if the analyzer in your analytical sampling system requires gas, but the sample is liquid, the only option is to convert the liquid to gas. This process is called vap...

An Analytical Sampling System Q&A with Field Engineering Area Manager, Mike Frost Analytical sampling is a critical process in numerous industries, including oil and gas extraction, chemical and petrochemical processing, power generation, and more. Mike Frost, regional area manager, field engineeri...

Tips to Maintaining a Representative Sample in an Analytical Instrumentation System The objective of an analytical instrumentation (AI) system is to provide a timely analytical result that is representative of the fluid in the process line at the time the sample was taken. If the sample is altered ...
