- Sample Type & Phase
- Conditioned gas from a Claus sulfur recovery unit tail-gas or associated tail-gas treatment process, containing H2S and SO2 and potentially water vapor, sulfur vapor, acid gases, particulates, and other process components.
- Measurement Range
- Provide normal, minimum, maximum, startup, and upset concentrations for H2S and SO2, the required H2S-to-SO2 ratio range, alarm limits, and any air-demand or control-output range. Final ranges remain project specific until the approved datasheet is issued.
- Sample Conditions
- Provide process pressure, temperature, moisture, sulfur-vapor and condensation risk, dust, oxygen, acid-gas composition, hydrocarbons, ammonia or other interferents, and startup and upset conditions.
- Sample Handling
- Define extraction point, probe, heated transport, filtration, temperature control, pressure and flow regulation, condensation prevention, calibration routing, sample return or safe vent, and maintenance access.
- Installation Area
- Confirm analyzer shelter or cabinet, heat-traced routing, ambient conditions, maintenance access, safe-area or hazardous-area classification, certification, and proximity to the control-system interface.
- Utilities
- Confirm electrical and heat-trace power, instrument air or purge, certified zero and span gases, calibration manifold, safe vent or return, drains where applicable, and communication cabling.
- Response Requirement
- Define whether the analyzer supports ratio display, main or trim-air optimization, closed-loop or advisory control, alarm response, efficiency monitoring, or trending. Final response time is configuration dependent.
- Integration Requirement
- Confirm 4-20 mA outputs for H2S, SO2, ratio, and air demand where required, digital communication, DCS or PLC tags, historian data, control-loop ownership, alarm logic, and fail-safe behavior.
- Commissioning Requirement
- Verify heated extraction and transport, leak integrity, sample temperature and flow, zero and span response, H2S and SO2 outputs, ratio calculation, air-demand or control signal, analog and digital communications, alarms, loop behavior, and handover documents.
