Analytical Instrumentation

About Our Process Analyzer Services

Our Akan Analyzer Engineering Team has many years of experience helping customers in every aspect of their analyzer project, from specification, design, installation, and commissioning to post-commissioning maintenance. The Process Analyzer is one of the most advanced and complex equipment in the facility, and each process provides a unique environment that requires special attention to tuning requirements and measurement techniques. Understanding these process conditions, facility standards, and customer internal functions is a key factor in the reliability, integrity, and long-term operability of an analytical system.

Process Analyzer Challenges

  • Each process presents its own unique sample environment requiring particular attention to conditioning requirements and measurement technology selection.

Commissioning Considerations

  • Install probe & connect tube bundle during commissioning
  • Pre-requisites – FAT and SAT completed; MOC and PSSR requirements, training, operator orientation
  • SAT Plan to cover physical equipment cutover and procedural issues–confirmation of DCS/data functions, alarms, second shift coverage etc.

Continuous Emission Monitoring Services (CEMS) and Environmental Analyzer Services

Some of the most complex equipment in your facility that has an impact on the regulatory compliance of a facility are analyzers in Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS). For NOx, SOx, CO, Stack Flow, and Opacity analyzers to function accurately and consistently, the right technology must be used. The dependability, integrity, and long-term operability of a CEMS Analyzer and offering environmental analyzer services depend on your knowledge of the process conditions, analyzer technology, standards, and your in-house capabilities.

Our Akan Analyzer Engineering Team has years of experience assisting clients with all CEMS project-related tasks, including specification, design, installation, commissioning, and post-commissioning maintenance. Our staff has hands-on experience that even the analyzer vendors lack thanks to our years of experience servicing these analyzers for our clients.

Air Quality Monitoring Systems analyzers

Air quality monitoring systems are devices that measure wind speed and direction as well as other air parameters, and pollutants such as S02 , 03 , CO, NOx, and THC.

In this regard, measurement of VOC in various industrial, especially oil refineries, can be mentioned.
