Paper Tape Type Analyzer
(OP)
Has anyone out there used a paper tape type analyzer to measure the presence of a gas?

Does not have to be this exact brand just the same principle.
If you have, what type of gas have you been measuring? Have you been happy with the results?

Is this the type information that you are looking for?

It's is hard to get a feel for reality when you start talking to vendor sales people, no offence guys but it can be true.
We were thinking of using this technology to measure the presence of HF gas in our flare header before it gets to the flare gas compressor (oil refinery). Same idea as the application that you mentioned, if there is HF present, shutdown the compressor.

Wished I'd kept up with them on your application. The vendor should be willing to give a unit to test for a month.

What we did in that situation is put in a bypass around the analyzer, set to operate after the process has shutdown. The procedure is to use a Draeger to sample the gas and once the content was lower than the bypass trip point, then the analyzer could be brought back online.
This system has saved thousands of dollars in tape as well as technician time. The manual sample method is not the best, but tubes are cheaper than tape.
Thought I would run that by you, perhaps it will help you.

I'll look at some systems we have now and see if the pipeline left a way to bypass.
