• One device can simultaneously and continuously detect H2S, H2O, and CO2 impurities in natural gas, facilitating user trade handover, compliance, and process monitoring

•ABB’s proven laser technology eliminates false readings and provides fast response for reliable process control

•Sensi+ is designed for remote surveillance and hazardous zone applications with advanced performance and low cost of ownership.

ABB Sensi+ Analyzer provides an innovative gas quality inspection solution that simplifies the operation and maintenance of pipeline monitoring and reduces costs. The solution accurately analyzes three impurities (H2S, H2O, CO2) in natural gas in real time with a single device, resulting in safer, simpler, and more efficient pipeline monitoring. In addition, the device can respond quickly to process anomalies, helping to reduce pollutants and methane emissions.

In order to reduce the impact of natural gas impurities on natural gas pipelines, natural gas pipeline operators and natural gas companies are faced with a great challenge, they adopt various technologies and use a variety of equipment to achieve a comprehensive analysis of pipeline operation. These traditional solutions are complex, inefficient, and costly, requiring a separate analyzer, operational plan, and specialized handling, calibration, and maintenance skills for each impurity.

“With the innovative Sensi+ and ABB’s range of gas chromatographs, ABB can offer customers a comprehensive gas quality measurement solution,” said Jean-Rene Roy, global head of ABB’s Analytics and measurement business. The solution integrates component detection and impurity detection in a compact, modular, and reliable system. “Sensi+ Analyzer is designed to meet our customers’ trade transition needs and minimize corrosion within our pipeline infrastructure to prevent asset damage.”

The sample flow required for Sensi+ detection is one-sixth that of other technologies, reducing the analyzer’s overall carbon emissions and gas escape. This reflects ABB’s commitment to help reduce carbon emissions and support sustainable operations in key industries to achieve a low-carbon society.

Gas pipeline operators need to efficiently manage the analytical instruments they install to ensure reliability, system integration, and equipment performance for trade handover, mitigation, and process control. The Sensi+ analyzer is designed to meet the needs of hazardous areas with a simple wall-mounted installation to connect to the pipe, eliminating the need for complex system purging. After installation and calibration, the analyzer can be tested quickly and reliably in the field without calibration.

The Sensi+ Analyzer includes ABB AnalyzerExpert™ functionality to enable professional instruction directly from the device. These features include built-in self-diagnosis, automatic laser beam locking, real-time cross interference compensation and health monitoring.
