New gas analyzer
This Titan-OL system provides real-time, multicomponent extractive gas phase analysis for online and continuous multipoint analysis.
Units include spectrometer system, gas cell(s), sample manifold, valve control electronics, and software. Hardware is enclosed in appropriately rated NEMA enclosures (up to and including Class 1, Div 1).
The firm's exclusive fiber optic distribution electronics provide a single hub for temperature, pressure, mass flow, external alarm, and optical switching signals and can accommodate as many as three 12-port manifolds for a total of 26 sample, purge, and calibration lines.
Communication between the hub and control computer is over fast, stable fiber optic cable.
Titan-OL systems take advantage of new dual architecture and advanced mirror drive control for increased sensitivity and low detection levels for a variety of compounds.
Custom gas cells are corrosion resistant and are available in path lengths from 1cm to 30 m.
Systems can operate at temperatures from ambient to 240° C., allowing moist sample streams to be analyzed without condensation.
Systems are fully automated with AutoQuant Pro software package including method calibration, data collection, trend analysis charts, manifold control, and integration of alarm and control functions with plant process hardware and software.

Unit monitors hydrocarbon plus CO2 or H2O
This new dual-gas detector simultaneously monitors a hydrocarbon gas plus carbon dioxide or water vapor.
The lineup includes virtually every hydrocarbon gas—propane, butane, methane—as well as less-common gases like xylene and ethylene oxide.
Measurement and readout with the new detector are instantaneous; remote monitors can show continuing values of the hydrocarbon gas plus any contained water vapor or carbon dioxide. The detector can drive printers, plotters, or computers to make a permanent record of both gases.
Self-correcting circuitry means the new detector will work for years without requiring adjustment or recalibration. And the detector flashes an immediate warning of any internal problems, even spelling out what's wrong where.
The firm says its unit abjures mirrors or lenses, meaning no problems with dust, dirt, aerosols, airborne contaminants, or misalignment.
It shrugs off toxic and corrosive atmospheres, as well as temperature and humidity extremes. An integral heater eliminates possible condensation.

Stator elastomer features detailed in free brochure
A new full color flyer—yours free for the asking—details the specifications and features of proprietary Moyno Ultra-Flex stator elastomers.
The proprietary, high-strength elastomers, used in stators for downhole pumps and power sections, are derived from compounds engineered to provide high strength with the added benefit of reduced swell.
Each elastomer compound is formulated for specific well conditions to provide long service and superior downhole performance.
Elastomers are mated to high alloy steel rotors, and the resulting compression fit helps minimize fluid slip, reduce internal friction, and maximize volumetric efficiency.
Other features include:
- Variety of compounds available for application compatibility.
- Maximum abrasion resistance.
- Compatibility in H2S environments.
- Successful performance in temperatures over 250° F.

New blowout preventer fluid
New Stack Magic ECO blowout preventer fluid provides improved lubrication, biodegradation, and toxological properties to satisfy tighter Norway and North Sea environmental regulations.
It's formulated for use in hydraulic wellhead and deepwater multiplex control systems.
It meets the current SFT (Norway) "yellow" zone for acceptable discharge to sea.
It's suited for use with steel, cast iron, copper, bronze, brass, and anodized aluminum deepwater systems, and is suited for use with nitrile, butyl, ethylene propylene, silicon, and viton seals.
