Buy High-Precision Gas Chromatograph Systems in Chennai

A Process Gas Chromatograph (GC) is an online instrument used to continuously monitor the composition of gases or liquids in industrial process streams. It provides real-time analysis for accurate control and quality assurance. PREI Group manufactures high-performance Process GC panels used in oil and gas, petrochemical, water treatment, and manufacturing facilities. Our panels continuously sample and analyze gas streams to improve process efficiency, product quality, and plant safety. Each system includes reliable chromatographs, advanced electronics, transmitters, communication modules and user-friendly HMI interfaces for seamless integration with PLC, DCS and SCADA systems. With durable enclosures and built-in alarms, our GC panels ensure long-term stability, accurate measurements and compliance with IEC safety standards.

  • The process stream is sampled automatically.
  • It carries the sample, through an inert carrier gas (such as helium, nitrogen, or hydrogen), through a chromatographic column.
  • Various components of the sample are separated in the column according to their interaction with the stationary phase.
  • A detector, usually FID (Flame Ionization Detector) or TCD (Thermal Conductivity Detector), measures the separated components.
  • The concentration of each component is calculated and displayed/communicated to the DCS/PLC.
  • Provides real-time, continuous composition data.
  • Reduces dependency on manual sampling and laboratory tests.
  • Improves process optimization, efficiency, and safety.
  • Assists in energy balance and custody transfer, such as measurement of natural gas calorific value.
