VCM is created from the reaction of hydrogen and chlorine (Cl2) to form hydrogen chloride (HCl), which in turn is combined with acetylene to produce VCM. Gas analysis measurements are required across the process, including monitoring moisture in the Cl2 stream to avoid compressor corrosion, safety measurements for both HCl and Cl2, and oxygen measurements in the acetylene stream.
Challenging process conditions, such as condensation and corrosion, can affect the gas analysis equipment used in this process. Analytical systems must not only deliver reliable measurements for process control and safety, but have to be able to do so without being impaired by the conditions themselves.
The rugged SERVOTOUGH SpectraExact 2500 is able to accurately provide single and multi-component analysis at key process points, including measurements for moisture in Cl2 to protect the compressor from corrosion damage. It can also make the required measurements for HCl and Cl2 concentrations between the HCl reactor and preheater stages of the process.
With extensive experience in supplying analytical systems for the VCM production process, we provide solutions that are proven to deliver the results you need.
Our experts have deep applications knowledge and can advise on the optimum solution for your plant conditions, supplying gas analysis that exactly matches your requirements.
With a wide range of accurate and reliable gas technologies available, we can deliver the best measurements at every point of the VCM production process.
Our high-performance analyzers are supported by a worldwide network of service staff, ensuring reliable peak performance from day one.
