Analytics
The capabilities of modern process analytics can be the key
to a significant increase in efficiency, productivity, or safety
of chemical processes.
Continuous process analytics
The continuous gas analyzer of the Siemens series 6,
ULTRAMAT, OXYMAT, FIDAMAT, and CALOMAT, were originally
designed to fully meet the requirements for process analytics
in the Chemical Industry. Except for the FIDAMAT, based on
flame ionization detection, all analyzers are available in field
housings for operation in hazardous environments.
The intrinsic design of the analytical part of ULTARMAT and
OXYMAT and the materials in contact with the process gas
stream are chosen to withstand even highly corrosive gases.
Because the measuring system has no moving parts and
can be ordered in corrosion resistant materials like titanium
or tantalum the OXYMAT became the standard oxygen
analyzer in chlorine chemistry. Beside this, the excellent
analytical performance of the series 6 analysers make them
first choice in critical process applications in terms of
sensitivity and stability.
Optimized production of ethylene oxide
The efficiency of the ethylene oxide process increases with
the concentration of oxygen, while it is crucial to stay below
the lower explosion level (LEL). Due to its outstanding
stability, only the OXYMAT allows the process to be operated
at a set point of 5% O 2 , where competitive analyzers only
allow 4% O 2 . Thus, the process efficiency is increased by 1%.
