Hygrovis ion BL

The Hygrovision BL dew point analyzer is a high precision instrument for measuring the dew point of water and hydrocarbons. Equipped with an optical visualization system,it is both compact and portable. The analyzer can be usedin the automatic mode for continuous online measurementsand manually as a portable device. It is a full-function alternative to both conventional manual-type dew pointmirrors and standard automatic analyzers. In addition to thevisual system, the analyzer is equipped with an automatic condensation detection system. This system employs photo-electric scanning and an interferometric analysis of the cooled surface of the condensation mirror in order to registercondensation. Dew point measurements made visually,which are very dependent on the experience of the technician, can be objectively checked and refined with the automatic system. The Hygrovision BL is equipped with a complex lighting system to illuminate the surface of thecondensation mirror. This system enables the analyzer todistinguish between water and hydrocarbon condensation.(Fig. 1 & 2)

Cong Prima 2M

The Cong Prima 2M is an automatic through-flow hygrometer.

Moreover, it is the most compact and economical solution in the

industry.

The concept for this dew point transducer (DPT) is based on the

fundamental principle of direct measurement.

A condensation mirror is employed for the purpose of measuring

the dew point of both water (dpW) and hydrocarbons (dpHC).

The CP 2M establishes dew point by monitoring alterations in the

mirror’s reflectivity due to changes in temperature and pressure.

Using laser interferometry, the analyzer can register a condensation

film as thin as 10 nm.

The Cong Prima 2M can be set to automatically measure the dpW

or dpHC, as desired. The unit can also be easily adapted to taking

measurements for the purpose of monitoring operational processes.

The CP 2M’s monobloc construction is comprised of a sensor cell,

an electronic unit, and an explosion-proof housing. The analyzer

can be fitted with either an analogue (4 – 20mA) or a digital

(RS 485 – Modbus) data interface.

The robust design of the analyzer’s measurement chamber corres-

ponds to the strict requirements for a dew point measuring device

in an aggressive gas environment. The unit is controlled by means

of magnetic “buttons” that are operated using a special key

(included with delivery).

The Cong Prima 2M dew point analyzer is available in three

different versions, making it possible to perfectly tailor the unit

to your individual requirements.


D e w p o i n t f o r e v e r y o n eUncomplicated, fast, and direct is the motto here: the CP 2M

measurement module is combined with an insertable sampling

device. This insertable unit makes it possible to mount the

analyzer directly onto the gas pipeline (min. ø 200 mm).

The advantages of such a solution speak for themselves.

The pipeline module boasts a compact design and is ideal for

installation sites that require a space-saving and attractive

solution. This combined unit is also equally suited to indoor

(closed room) and outdoor applications.

This module is appropriate for installation at gas transport, gas

reduction, and gas regulation facilities, as well as a variety of other

facilities where the gas composition has no liquid impurities.

The insertable sampling device ensures that the gas sample is free

from mechanical contaminants. The integrated shutoff valve

allows the user to remove the analyzer unit without interrupting

the gas flow in the pipeline.

CP 2M – Pipeline module (PM)Comprised of the Cong Prima 2M dew point analyzer and the SGA

003 gas preparation system, the innovative approach of this

combined unit sets a whole new standard in the field of dew

point measurement.

For the first time, one system provides a universal solution for

all of the usual challenges faced in the gas industry in terms of

accurate dew point measurement.

For example, a given pressure may be stipulated by law, contract

or for some other reason. The SGA + CP 2M universal system

makes it easy to take dew point measurements at virtually any

pressure (including working pressure) up to 160 bar.

A number of patented new developments make a reliable analysis

of the gas sample possible, even under the most difficult conditions

in which mechanical and aerosol contaminants would have

previously rendered dew point measurements all but useless. At the

same time, this unit uses neither membrane filters nor any other

elements that are subject to wear. Such components are a weak

point in any system, due to the unpredictability of wear incurred

SGA + CP 2M – Universal system (US)The measurement module version of the CP 2M is primarily

intended for gas analysis in laboratory and industrial settings,

where the gaseous mixture is characterized by a high degree

of purity.

In addition, the design of the unit makes it suitable for mounting

in already installed measurement systems as a dew point transducer.

during operation. A clogged membrane, for example, can lead to

distortions or even alterations of the gas sample’s properties. With

the SGA + CP 2M universal system, this issue is simply avoided.

This technology provides the foundation for our consistently high

standards when it comes to providing you with reliable dew point

measurement processes.

The underlying concept of the SGA is to make it possible for

the dew point analyzer to easily measure the dew point of water

(dpW) at the operating pressure and the dew point of hydro-

carbons (dpHC) at reduced pressures – for example 27 bar.

In addition, in order to make the system easier for the operator

to use, it offers preprogrammed modes for measuring the dew

points of water and hydrocarbons.

Another feature of this solution is the system’s modular con-

struction. Among other things, this approach provides the user

with the option of easily mounting and connecting a portable

Hygrovision analyzer as a reference instrument.

Like to know what’s going on in your gas sample? By installing

a portable Hygrovision unit as a reference hygrometer, you will

always be able to use its visualization system to see into the very

heart of the measurement process. In this way you can gain a

clear understanding of exactly what is taking place in the gas

sample. The addition of a Hygrovision analyzer also makes possible

continuous comparative measurements to confirm the dew point

results of your CP 2M. Alternatively, it makes possible simultane-

ous measurement of the dew points of both water and hydro-

carbons. The SGA system incorporates a foldout mounting arm

and explosion protected gas connections for the easy integration

of a Hygrovision unit into the gas delivery system. Thus the

portable analyzer can be used for spot-checking or long-term

reference. Naturally, the Hygrovision unit also provides for data

transfer via Modbus RS-485 or IR-Port.

Due to its modular construction, the SGA + CP 2M system can, if

necessary, be adjusted to meet constantly changing requirements.

In this way it offers the greatest degree of flexibility while constantly

maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and reliability

CP 2M – Measurement module (MM)


The CP2M is designed to be easily

mounted directly on the pipeline.

The CP2M is designed for use

in systems that are based on the

through-flow principle.

Gas preparation system SGA 003

The SGA 003 gas preparation system is the newest productfrom Vympel.

This system is the result of intensive research and an innovativeapproach. The SGA 003 sets new standards in the field of gas preparation. Moreover, this system provides users with a range of new possibilities for modification.

The revolutionary principle of our patented new gravity filter –a key component of the SGA 003 — makes it possible to preparegas samples without the use of any kind of membranes or cartridges. Such components are weak points in any system dueto the unforeseeable consequences of normal wear and tear from continuous use.

Gas samples prepared by the SGA 003 are not subject to the problems presented by traditional systems, where gas sample conditions are compromised due to filters that are clogged or no longer intact. By contrast, SGA’s filtration system is able to consistently deliver the highest quality gas sample. The SGA 003 is the first gas preparation system that offers the gas industry a universal solution for all of the typical problems thathave an impact on dew point measurements.

This system is capable of preparing sample gas for dew pointmeasurement at a variety of pressures; whether at operating pressure or in accordance with contractually or otherwise stipulated pressure requirements — up to160 bar (Fig. 1). In order to make using the SGA 003 as straight forward as possible, we have equipped it with preprogrammed modes forboth water and hydrocarbon dew point measurement (Fig. 2).

Another feature of this new gas preparation system is the SGA003’s innovative reference module. This option provides an easyconnection point for a control hygrometer from the Hygrovisionseries. Now it is possible to check your equipment anytime you like. This gives you an unprecedented level of certainty in your dew point values by allowing you to check and, if desired, document the validity of your current measurement results quickly and without significant expense.

The concept of our system is based on one simple rule: to designthe measurement process around the operator.

We believe that the measurement process should be neither complicated nor difficult, and should not require years of practice.

Through the use of components that require less skill to masterand modular construction, we have continuously pursued the goal of producing equipment that is easy to install and operateand as user-friendly as possible.

Moreover, this system offers a great deal of flexibility. With thehelp of the preinstalled modes, the operator always has the option to quickly and easily reset the gas preparation system in response to varying measurement requirements. In this way he or she can be assured of achieving the most optimal results.

A n e l e g a n t a n d s t r a i g h t f o r w a r d s o l u t i o n

Vympel’s new Pressure Reduction Module DRM 001 (DRM)

was designed for use with the Hygrovision BL.

We developed the DRM as a simple straightforward solution to

several common complications that make accurate dew point

analysis more challenging.

One such complication is the requirement for documenting the

measurement process in conformance with specific dew point

requirements. The innovative yet uncomplicated design of the

DRM makes it easy to measure the dew point of hydrocarbons

at any pressure (up to the operating pressure), including the

standard pressure of 27 bar, which is the cricondentherm for HCs.

Taking measurements at the cricondentherm provides the most

reliable and robust dew point information, and in most situations

it’s the best place to start when controlling for contractually

stipulated dew point criteria.

A Hygrovision BL mounted on the DRM 001 can, of course, also

measure the dew point of water.

This system makes it easy to switch from one dew point to the

other, which means that a few quick adjustments are all that are

required to switch from measuring the dew point of water at

operating pressure to measuring the dew point of hydrocarbons

at the cricondentherm.

Thanks to the compact design of the DRM it is well suited to

installation at multiple points in a gas distribution system.

The DRM’s foldout arm makes it easy to mount a portable

Hygrovision BL thus providing accurate and reliable dew point

analysis in the field, even under the most difficult conditions.

The DRM 001 can also provide power to the Hygrovision BL,

thanks to the pressure reduction module’s onboard power unit,

which can be connected to the facilities main electrical supply.

In this way, the analyzer can be left in place to take dew point

measurements for extended periods.

Vympel’s new pressure reduction module also features a gas

line heater. This component ensures that the temperature of the

gas is optimally suited to accurate dew point measurements at

contractually stipulated temperature parameters. And since the

DRM is equipped with Modbus technology, measurements made

by the Hygrovision BL can be transferred directly to the control

system via the DRM’s 4 – 20mA port.

The DRM is easy to install and conforms to the most stringent

requirements for electrical devices in hazardous areas. And once

the DRM 001 is installed, there will be no need for connecting

cumbersome hoses or complicated ventilation equipment –

in other words, Vympel’s new pressure reduction system will

make your job easier and more secure on a number of levels.
