Why choose a GC RGA solution from SCION ?

A pre-configured Gas Chromatography (GC) solution for Refinery Gas Analysis (RGA) from SCION Instruments offers several advantages over similar systems on the market, positioning it as a strong contender for such applications: 

  1. Proven Compliance with Industry Standards: SCION’s RGA solutions are pre-configured to meet multiple international standards, such as ASTM D1946, D2163, and UOP 539, ensuring immediate compatibility and reliability in industry-specific applications without extensive customization​ 
  2. Advanced Multi-Channel Design: These systems utilize a three-channel architecture optimized for hydrogen, permanent gases, and light hydrocarbons, enabling comprehensive and efficient analysis of complex refinery gas streams. The system is versatile enough to handle high concentrations of diverse components​ 
  3. Rapid Analysis Capability: The Rapid RGA configuration reduces overall analysis time to approximately 5–7 minutes compared to the 25-minute cycle of standard systems. This makes it ideal for high-throughput environments where quick data turnaround is critical​ 
  4. Durable and Accessible Hardware: SCION’s instruments are built with robust, high-quality components that maximize uptime and minimize maintenance. Accessibility for servicing is emphasized, reducing downtime in case of issues​ 
  5. Enhanced Software Integration: SCION’s CompassCDS software provides user-friendly control, advanced reporting features, and seamless integration with laboratory information management systems (LIMS), enhancing usability and workflow efficiency​ 
  6. Optional Features for Versatility: Add-ons like an integrated micro-gasifier ensure complete vaporization of liquefied gases, eliminating sample discrimination during analysis. Other features like liquid sampling valves further expand the system’s applicability​ 

 

In summary, SCION Instruments’ RGA solutions stand out due to their compliance with multiple standards, advanced technology, reduced analysis times, robust build, and excellent software capabilities. This combination makes them particularly suitable for laboratories seeking high-performance, reliable, and user-friendly solutions tailored for refinery gas analysis.
