Sensi+, fast, accurate and reliable monitoring of H₂S, H₂O and CO₂ in natural gas
October 31st 2024Sensi+ is a compact natural gas contaminants analyzer based on a unique tunable diode laser (TDL) technology called Off-Axis Integrated Cavity Output Spectroscopy (OA-ICOS™). The technology accurately, reliably, and simultaneously measures corrosive substances such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and water in real-time within complex and time-varying natural gas streams. Mitigating the risks and effects of contaminants in natural gas can be challenging for pipeline operators, process industries, and natural gas utilities. These companies must manage various technologies and devices to achieve a comprehensive analysis, which can be complex, prone to failure, and costly. ABB's revolutionary Sensi+™ analyzer answers these issues.
