Sample Conditioning System (SCS)
Sample conditioning System (SCS)
The sample conditioning system (SCS) is a critical component of the Chromos PGC7 process gas chromatograph analyzer, designed to prepare samples for accurate and reliable analysis. It ensures the sample entering the analyzer is in an optimal state, directly impacting measurement reliability, minimizing maintenance costs, and reducing downtimes. A well-designed SCS is key to overall system performance, and it is typically custom-engineered for each application due to the unique challenges involved.
Key Features and Design Principles:
  • Application-Specific Considerations
    The SCS is integrated as an integral part of the PGC7 analytical solution. Its design focuses on handling gaseous or liquid media from industries like oil/gas refining, petrochemicals, and environmental monitoring. Chromos draws on extensive experience to create custom systems that address specific process conditions, ensuring the sample's integrity is maintained from extraction to analysis.
  • Impact on Performance
    Chromos recommends automated SCS for efficiency, including features like pressure regulators, heaters/coolers, condensate drains, safety shutoffs, and gas dosing units. This automation helps ensure consistent sample quality while reducing operational costs.
  • Cost Optimization
    A well-conditioned sample lowers long-term ownership costs by extending analyzer life (>10 years average) and reducing analysis errors.
