Moisture measurement is a critical task in many industrial and laboratory settings. A precise way to calibrate and validate moisture analyzers is through the use of known moisture generation sources. Insight Analytical's moisture generator block is a versatile tool designed to validate moisture analyzers, compact, and portable, while having quick response times, enabling the generation […]
Condensate stabilization is a balancing act. The stabilizer must remove enough light hydrocarbons to bring the final liquid product within the required vapor-pressure specification. At the same time, excessive stabilization can remove more valuable light components than necessary, reducing liquid recovery. That balance becomes more difficult when operators do not have timely information about the […]
When an analyzer is slow to respond, unstable, or difficult to trust, the analyzer itself often receives the blame. But the performance of an analyzer sample system can have just as much influence on the final measurement. Between the process and the analyzer, that sample may travel through a probe, tubing, filters, regulators, valves, distribution […]
Industrial laboratories are under constant pressure to deliver accurate QA/QC results faster while keeping routine analysis practical for laboratory personnel. For some measurements, established wet chemistry or other laboratory methods remain the appropriate choice. But when the same properties need to be measured repeatedly throughout the day, the time associated with sample preparation, reagents, consumables, […]
When comparing composite sampling vs. grab sampling, the most important question is not which method is universally better. It is which method provides a sample that accurately represents the material and operating period being evaluated. A grab sample captures process conditions at a particular moment. That can be useful for troubleshooting, verification, and spot checks. […]
When planning a carbon capture and COâ‚‚ quality project, much of the attention naturally falls on capture rate, COâ‚‚ purity, compression and transportation. For the engineers and operators responsible for keeping the facility running, however, the systems surrounding the capture process are equally important. Carbon capture can increase demand for steam generation, process heating, compression […]
In the ever-evolving world of sample systems, understanding the intricacies and nuances can be pivotal to ensuring optimal results in various industries. In this blog post, we'll explore the contents of our first session, where Phil Harris, an expert in the field, provides valuable insights into the importance of design and function in sample systems. […]

Prior to the just concluded federal election that nobody wanted, one that cost Canadian taxpayers $600+ Bln, the Liberal Government pushed forward policies to limit the growth of the oil and gas sector in Alberta. Bill C-69 delayed and damaged the ability of new projects to get started in Alberta, while foreign investment in Alberta’s […]
The OXYvisor is a process oxygen analyzer, best utilized to measure oxygen concentration in continuous, online, process monitoring and control applications. The device utilizes an optical quench luminescent technique to measure oxygen concentration by volume (ppmv, molar basis) in gas phase or dissolved oxygen measurement (ppbv, ppmv) in liquid and aqueous phase applications. The oxygen […]
