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.
Innovations
These are some of the latest innovations in the gas processing and LNG sector.
