Optimizing gas analysis in carbon capture, utilization and storage
The CCUS market encompasses wide-ranging applications, with different challenges when it comes to gas analysis. No two CCUS applications are the same, and each therefore requires a tailored approach to best meet gas analysis requirements. The selection of a gas analyzer depends on more than the gases that it can detect, as it must also consider the number of gases that can be measured by a single system, precision and accuracy of the measurement, complexity of the installation, ongoing maintenance requirements, lifecycle costs, and other factors.
