Modcon Systems Ltd. Announces Updated MOD-1040 Oxygen Analyzer for High Pressure Process Gas
Modcon Systems Ltd. has announced updates to its MOD-1040 Oxygen Analyzer for high pressure industrial gas applications. The analyzer measures from 1 ppm to 100% O2 at process pressures up to 350 barg and now includes automatic pressure and temperature compensation together with field calibration and maintenance functions.
Modcon Systems Ltd. has announced updates to its MOD-1040 Oxygen Analyzer for high pressure industrial gas applications including hydrogen, natural gas, refinery gas, petrochemical gas, flare gas, biogas, ammonia and other process gas streams.
The MOD-1040 uses optical oxygen measurement technology and provides a measurement range from 1 ppm to 100% O2. It is designed for process pressures up to 350 barg and provides a T90 response time below five seconds. The latest configuration includes automatic compensation for changes in process pressure and temperature. Calibration and maintenance can also be carried out in the field using a portable service device with an optional calibration manifold.
Applications in hydrogen and process industries
The MOD-1040 is intended for continuous oxygen measurement in a range of industrial gas applications. In hydrogen production it can be used for oxygen monitoring during electrolysis, purification, compression, storage and associated process stages.
Other applications include:
- natural gas processing
- refinery gas systems
- petrochemical processes
- flare gas
- biogas
- ammonia production
- inertisation systems
- hydrocarbon process gas
The analyzer can be installed for direct oxygen measurement at the process location where the application and process conditions are suitable.
Measurement range and operating conditions
Industrial oxygen measurement requirements can range from trace concentrations to high percentage levels. The MOD-1040 covers 1 ppm to 100% O2 on a single analyser platform.
Key technical specifications include:
- Measurement range: 1 ppm to 100% O2
- Process pressure: up to 350 barg
- Response time: T90 below five seconds
- Measurement principle: optical oxygen measurement
- Installation: in situ process measurement
- Pressure compensation: automatic
- Temperature compensation: automatic
These specifications allow the analyser to be applied across trace oxygen, process oxygen and higher concentration oxygen measurement duties.
Hazardous area and safety certification
The MOD-1040 is available for use in hazardous area and safety-related industrial applications.
Certifications include:
- ATEX
- IECEx
- ETL
- ECAS-Ex
- SIL 2
Application suitability depends on the specific process conditions, hazardous area classification and project requirements.
Field calibration and maintenance
The updated MOD-1040 configuration supports field calibration and maintenance using a portable service device. An optional calibration manifold can be used to support calibration activities directly at the installation point. The analyzer also provides automatic compensation for changes in process pressure and temperature during operation.
“These updates are part of our continuing development of the MOD-1040 for high pressure industrial gas applications,” said Gregory Shahnovsky, President and CEO of Modcon Systems Ltd. “Our focus is on providing reliable oxygen measurement data together with practical field operation and maintenance.”
