The Applied Analytics OMA H2S Analyzer measures real-time H2S concentration in liquid or gas process by monitoring the UV-Vis absorbance in a continuously drawn sample. The OMA H2S Analyzer can analyze hydrogen sulfide in natural gas, crude oil, water, biogas and landfill gas, feed forward, lean/rich amine, stripped sour water, wastewater, syngas, flare gas, flue gas, hydrogen recycle gas, scrubber outlet gas, LPG and more.
Harvesting this rich data, the OMA H2S Analyzer isolates the H2S absorbance curve and provides a real-time value for H2S concentration in your process.
H2S occurs abundantly in the world’s fossil fuel reserves and also forms as a by-product in various industrial and biological processes. In order to produce clean-burning fuels, prevent acid rain, protect pipelines and equipment from corrosion, and — most importantly — protect workers from imminent disasters, H2S levels are highly regulated using scrubbers, scavengers, sulfur recovery units, and other removal technologies.
To properly control the level of H2S in fuel, wastewater, or emissions, you need a reliable method of measuring the H2S concentration. Since safety is a major concern, only highly proven solutions are considered. For many years, that meant that customers were stuck with archaic paper tape technology, a maintenance headache with toxic consumables and frequent moving-part hardware failures.
With thousands of units shipped, the OMA H2S Analyzer has been deployed for a wide range of applications across various industries:
To measure H2S concentration, the OMA detects the distinctive absorbance curve of pure H2S and mathematically isolates this structure from the total sample absorbance. In accordance with Beer-Lambert Law, the OMA correlates the height of this curve directly to real-time hydrogen sulfide concentration.
Sampling: H2S Analyzer
The OMA is built for direct analysis of the hot/wet sample, thus simplifying the scope of the sample system and retaining high sample integrity. From our vast experience in sampling design, we know that applications can be similar but are rarely identical. For this reason, we design and build sample conditioning systems on a project basis, working from the process to the drawing board.
