Moisture Validation

Moisture, even in trace amounts, can have serious implications for gas systems. In natural gas pipelines, for instance, excessive moisture can lead to:

• Corrosion of equipment and pipelines, increasing the risk of leaks or failures.
• Hydrate formation, where water combines with hydrocarbons to create ice-like crystals that can block pipelines.
• Freezing in control valves and instrumentation, which can halt operations, cause malfunctions, or damage components.

In other industries, moisture contamination can degrade product purity, disrupt chemical processes, and result in production inefficiencies.

Accurate moisture validation is essential for maintaining the integrity of gas systems. It provides reliable confirmation that moisture levels are within safe operational ranges, helping to prevent costly downtime and ensuring equipment longevity. By validating moisture levels, operators can:

• Ensure safety and operational reliability by preventing conditions that could lead to equipment failures or hazardous situations.
• Optimize product quality, especially in processes where moisture content must be tightly controlled to meet industry standards.
• Maintain regulatory compliance, as moisture levels are often governed by industry regulations and safety standards.

The WDP5000™ offers direct detection of water dewpoint in natural gas at high pressures, eliminating errors from pressure regulation.

Key features include:

• Chilled-Mirror Technology: Directly detects the dewpoint where water vapor condenses, offering accurate readings.
• High Pressure Operation: Measures at pressures up to 2000 psig (137 barg) without needing pressure reduction.
• Precision at Operational Conditions: Delivers accurate dewpoint results under actual gas conditions, enhancing reliability.

The WDP5000™ is ideal for ensuring moisture control in natural gas, preventing equipment damage and ensuring product quality.

The Moisture Generator allows for accurate moisture analysis, making it perfect for gas analyzer validation in both field and permanent setups.

Key features include:

• Portable and Durable: Flexible design for field testing or integration into sample systems.
• High-Pressure Compatibility: Works with high-pressure gases, ensuring the validation matches real operating conditions.
• Quick Stabilization: Adjusts moisture content using saturation pressure, speeding up the stabilization process.

This generator ensures reliable moisture validation with accurate, repeatable results, minimizing the need for recalibration.
