Honeywell Elster Gas Chromatographs and Analysers

Honeywell Elster Gas-Chromatographs and -Analysers

Honeywell Elster is a market leader in the field of measuring, controlling and analysing equipment for (natural) gas installations. In 2015, the Elster Group, with brand names like Elster-Instromet, Kromschröder and American Meter Company, has become a Honeywell company.

“In the old days” the quality of the Dutch gas was exactly known, since 2021 this is not so obvious anymore.
Not knowing exactly what the quality of the gas is means that possibly a lower volume of energy comes “in” and that furnaces, engines, turbines etc. do not perform optimal and that the end product can be of lesser quality that before.
The result is loss of product, time, quality and indirect money.
These products will pay for themselves.

To accurately analyze natural gas for fiscal applications and the mixing of gases of various compositions a chromatograph can be used.
The time that is required to get the result is of less importance.
A real time gas analyzer will provide the results that are required for process that can’t wait minutes for the result within seconds.
With a chromatograph the composition of a gas can be determined.
To control a gasturbine the caloric value and other parameters are required within a short amount of time (not the exact composition) to inject the correct amount of gas and get the right gas/air mixtures.
