Siemens FIDAMAT 6 Extractive Gas Analyser for Hydrocarbons
Product Code: 7MB2421
Manufacturer: Siemens
Siemens FIDAMAT 6 Extractive Gas Analyser with an FID (flame ionization detector) are well suited for continuous total hydrocarbon measurement. The measurement is not component specific but substance-class specific. In the first approximation, the measurement result is proportional to the number of C atoms in the respective molecule.
The variants of the FIDAMAT feature a wide range of applications. Almost every application can be executed, from trace hydrocarbon monitoring in high purity gases, which is made possible by high resolution and small differences in response factors, to total measurements of hydrocarbons in the presence of corrosive gases. A requirement for the latter application is the use of a filter that is wear-free and corrosion-resistant and the use of a quartz capillary as the measuring gas capillary. The high, adjustable operating temperature for the sample gas channel and detector also facilitates the measurement of high-boiling mixtures and the measurement of hydrocarbons at water vapor concentrations of up to 100%.
Special attention was paid to safety functions. After automatic start at the end of the warm-up phase and automatic measurement operation, a controlled self-monitoring function takes place. If the detector flame goes out accidentally, it is automatically re-ignited. In the event of non-ignition, an alarm is triggered and the gas supply is automatically switched off by a solenoid valve. The purging function in the event of a device failure, prevents the accumulation of toxic, corrosive, or explosive substances inside the device. In addition to transmitting the fault message via binary output contacts, all status messages can be called up individually on the display or through the serial interface.
Areas of application
- Environmental protection
- Wastewater (in conjunction with a stripping device, verification of the hydrocarbon content of liquids)
- TLV (Threshold Limit Value) monitoring at places of work
- Quality monitoring
- Process exhaust monitoring
- Ultra-pure gas measurements in media such as O2, CO2, inert gases and cold sample gases
- Measurement of corrosive and condensing gases
- Process optimisation
Further applications
- Chemical plants
- Gas manufacturers (ultra-pure gas monitoring)
- Research and development
- Cement industry (measurement of emissions)
- Paint shops and dry-cleaning systems
- Refineries (tank farms, wastewater)
- Drying systems
- Solvent recovery systems
- Pharmaceutical industry
- Automotive industry (engine development, engine and transmission development and certification)
Special applications are available on request in addition to the standard combinations, e.g. measuring range 0 to 100 %.
TÜV version
Measurement of flue gases according to 13th BlmSchV/17th BlmSchV and TA Luft for oil, coal, gas, and waste as fuels.
Furthermore, the TÜV-approved versions of the FIDAMAT 6 comply with the requirements of EN 14956 and QAL 1 according to EN 14181. Conformity of the analysers with both standards is TÜV-certified.
Determination of the analyser drift according to EN 14181 (QAL 3) can be carried out manually or also with a PC using the SIPROM GA maintenance and servicing software. In addition, selected manufacturers of emission evaluation computers offer the possibility for downloading the drift data via the analyser’s serial interface and to automatically record and process it in the evaluation computer.
Now available with Modbus RTU communication card. This powerful new option enables seamless integration into existing systems, significantly improving usability, interoperability, and overall efficiency. Retrofit Kit also available making upgrades quick and hassle-free.
Benefits
The Siemens FIDAMAT 6 gas analyser is distinguished by its wide range of applications:
- In the presence of up to 100 % H2O vapor
- In ultra-pure gas applications
- With high-boiling components (up to 200 °C)
- In the presence of corrosive gases (with preliminary filter).
The FIDAMAT 6 exhibits:
- Extremely low cross-sensitivity to interfering gases
- Low consumption of combustion air
- Low influence of oxygen on measured value
The analyser is additionally equipped with warning and fault messages:
- For failure of combustion gas
- If the flame is extinguished
- To indicate pump and filter faults
