Chemical Specialist of a Major Oil ProducerFrequently Asked Questions
Here are our frequently asked questions about KECO’s analyzers, their purpose, and how they can help minimize downtime by identifying potential problems.
Yes, KECO analyzers are capable of detecting sour gas components such as hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and moisture in upstream fields. The Model 205 PermaStream H₂S in Liquids Analyzer utilizes exclusive PermaStream™ membrane technology to accurately measure H₂S in various liquid hydrocarbons, including crude oil and diesel, without interference from other substances.
For moisture detection, while KECO specializes in gas and liquid analyzers, integrating their systems with dedicated moisture analyzers can provide comprehensive monitoring solutions.
Absolutely. KECO analyzers are designed to operate in hazardous environments and carry certifications suitable for offshore and remote upstream sites. Models like the 205 PermaStream are available with hazardous area classifications such as Class I Division 1 & 2, and Zone 1 or 2, ensuring compliance with industry safety standards.
KECO analyzers are designed for real-time, continuous monitoring, providing immediate results essential for upstream operations. For instance, the Series 150 Portable H₂S Analyzer offers rapid detection of H₂S levels, enabling prompt decision-making to maintain safety and process efficiency.
KECO analyzers are engineered for low maintenance, featuring automatic calibration and self-diagnostics to ensure consistent accuracy and system health without manual intervention. The KECO Care program offers preventative maintenance and service by KECO technicians, ensuring analyzers remain operational without user involvement.
KECO analyzers are built with robust construction to withstand the mechanical stresses of drilling sites. Enclosures are designed to resist vibrations and shocks, ensuring reliable operation in harsh conditions. While specific shock and vibration mitigation features are not detailed, the durable design of KECO analyzers supports their use in demanding upstream environments.
KECO’s detection methods are specific to H₂S, providing accurate measurements of total hydrogen sulfide content in samples. However, distinguishing between naturally occurring and process-related H₂S would require additional contextual information or analytical methods beyond the scope of the analyzer’s capabilities. KECO analyzers provide precise H₂S quantification, which can be used in conjunction with process data to infer the source of H₂S.
