The Model 204 PermaStream is a high-performance VOC analyzer for water designed for continuous, real-time measurement of hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds in aqueous process streams. For full product specifications, refer to the Model 204 PermaStream analyzer page. This system uses membrane-based extraction and a solid-state sensor to deliver accurate detection of both aliphatic and aromatic compounds. By providing immediate insight into contamination events, it helps operators protect equipment, reduce product loss, and maintain environmental compliance.
Unlike grab sampling or laboratory methods, this VOC analyzer for water continuously extracts VOCs from the liquid phase into a clean carrier stream for analysis. The heated sample transfer stripper improves efficiency and ensures reliable separation of hydrocarbons, eliminating the need for complex sample conditioning while improving response time and repeatability.
For applications requiring manual validation or comparison sampling, the Grab Sampling System can be used to collect representative liquid samples for laboratory verification.
The Model 204 PermaStream enables true online monitoring at process pressure, temperature, and flow. It provides continuous visibility into system performance, allowing operators to detect heat exchanger leaks, monitor cooling tower integrity, and reduce hydrocarbon losses.
For systems where multi-point sampling or routing is required, the Sample Distribution Panel (SDP-1) can support efficient integration across multiple monitoring locations.
This VOC analyzer for water is widely used in cooling water, produced water, wastewater, and desalination systems. Its ability to detect both aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons makes it a versatile solution for process monitoring and environmental compliance.
For applications requiring gas-phase hydrocarbon monitoring alongside water analysis, complementary technologies such as the Methane Gas Analyzer can provide additional insight into overall system performance.
The Model 204 PermaStream features a solid-state design with no moving parts and no routine calibration requirements. Typical uptime approaches 99%, minimizing maintenance demands while ensuring consistent performance.
The optional PermTube validation system allows for simple, in-situ performance verification, improving measurement confidence without additional equipment.
