  • Suitable for natural gas containing up to 20% hydrogen, no modification required

Overview

The QMA601-LR is a low-range process moisture analyzer designed for reliable, fast and accurate measurement of ultra-low trace moisture in natural gas for NGL fractionation and LNG liquefaction applications. Built on Michell's proven quartz crystal microbalance technology, it extends measurement down to a 0.02 ppmV detection limit while keeping the simplicity and low cost of ownership of the established QMA601 platform.

Working Principle

A quartz crystal microbalance sensor measures the mass change caused by moisture adsorption from the sample gas, giving a highly sensitive and repeatable trace moisture reading even at sub-ppm levels. Built-in verification against a reference process gas allows ongoing confidence in measurement accuracy between service intervals.

Benefits

  • Extends trusted quartz crystal technology down to ppbV-level trace moisture
  • 3-year maintenance-free operation lowers total cost of ownership
  • Touchscreen access without a hot works permit speeds routine checks
  • Hydrogen-tolerant design suits blended and hydrogen-enriched gas streams
