I'm looking for some insight on analysing samples for benzene content. The application is a refinery vessel cleaning (via steam purge + chemicals) and we can sample off the top & bottom of the vessel (condensed steam).
My limited knowledge of gas testing tells me that if we're not into the...

I find this information useful as I'm involved in preparing bids for pneumatic testing of LNG facilities. I have another (related) questions:
From what I've learned from my colleagues, many (if not most) LNG facilities are constructed with very few joints, so testing in smaller, risk-managable...
