Detecting Halides & Sulfur in LPGs with MultiTek
Butane is a common feed used in production and can be blended with other compounds to achieve a desired product. When the fluorides, chlorides, and sulfur in the butane react, they can produce extremely corrosive acids, which can cause gas leaks. The Antek MultiTek, when coupled with Ion Chromatography, provides sensitive and reliable analysis of halides and sulfur in liquefied petroleum gas, which allows refineries and other processes to improve plant safety and efficiency  Read more
