Chemical Processing survey finds 89% would consider changing gas measurement equipment

Gas measurement equipment survey from Chemical Processing and METTLER TOLEDO
Gas measurement equipment survey from Chemical Processing and METTLER TOLEDO

Chemical Processing magazine, a US-based publication serving the chemical and petrochemical industries, recently published a research report on gas measurement equipment in the chemical industry. In their survey, conducted in partnership with METTLER TOLEDO, the magazine interviewed over 200 key decision makers of gas measurement equipment in the chemical industry. This research report details their responses on the topics of accuracy, capital costs, and operating and maintenance costs.
 


The research report from Chemical Processing covers numerous topics of interest to chemical producers relating to gas measurement equipment. First it offers some profiling topics related to the different gases measured (oxygen and carbon monoxide being the most common) and the different technologies (such as gas chromatography, paramagnetic and tunable diode laser spectroscopy) used in their gas analysis.

In the survey, users were asked to rank their top three considerations when choosing gas measurement equipment from a list that included specifications such as "speed of response," "accuracy" and "operating and maintenance costs".

The research provided numerous interesting findings that are relevant for instrumentation and analyzer engineers. Respondents also answered questions such as:

  • What are the top drivers for a new gas analytics project?
  • What might hinder the selection of a new technology for gas analysis?
  • Would you consider an alternative technology for gas analysis?
  • What are the key factors in selecting a gas analysis technology?

One key piece of information uncovered by Chemical Processing in their research report on gas measurement equipment was that very few people are 100% satisfied with their installed solution. Of those surveyed, 89% said that they would either readily consider changing the technology of their gas measurement equipment, or that if they received some level of proof of application fit, they would consider changing equipment.
