Online gas chromatography system for measuring C1–C6+ hydrocarbons to calculate calorific value and the WOBBE Index
ChromEnergy is an automated industrial gas analyzer designed for quantifying hydrocarbon components in natural gas. Utilizing a Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD), this device precisely detects and quantifies hydrocarbons from C1 to C6+.
The accompanying Vistachrom software supports data acquisition, processing, calibration, and export, while also allowing the programming of analytical methods and chromatographic column temperature control. The system provides critical parameters such as retention time, peak area, mass, and concentration for each compound. Moreover, ChromEnergy is capable of calculating both the calorific value and the WOBBE index, thereby meeting end-user requirements for natural gas quality monitoring.
