BENEFITS

The NGC 8209, the C9+ Natural Gas Chromatograph

performs on-site natural gas analysis and heating

value computation using an extended analysis.

On-line chromatograph techniques are used to

provide N2 through C6+ data while a third column

train is used to separate the C6+ fraction. The NGC

8209 utilizes the modular and scaleable XSeries

software framework to integrate data from a third

analysis train into the standard C6+ analysis of the

Natural Gas. The extra chromatographic information

is provided as NC6’s, NC7’s, NC8’s and C9+ to

provide this “extended analysis”. Heating value (CV),

Wobbe, Relative Density (SG) and other calculations

are performed using the combined analysis data in a

similar manner to the NGC 8206. 

Hydrocarbon Dew

Point (HCDP) and Speed of Sound (SOS)

calculations are available options. A single computer

controller seamlessly processes all this data for

various outputs. It also handles the stream switching

and the timing for the sample.

Incorporating a state-of-the-art built-in 32 bit digital

controller, three electronic carrier pressure

regulators, oven-mounted sensors and advanced

low-noise digital electronics, the NGC 8209 performs

with unparalleled repeatability and sensitivity.

The NGC 8209 provides custody transfer/metrology

quality Chromatography for heating value and

composition measurement. It provides the user with

a GC that is lower in cost, easier to install and

commission, and less costly to operate.
