Knowing exactly what’s in your feed stream is critical. It allows you to know what’s in the commodity you’re pulling from the ground or if there are any impurities in the resource you’re buying. The first step is applying leading hydrocarbon calibration standards created by the Airgas Center for Hydrocarbon Excellence to assure clarity in your analysis.
The Airgas Center for Hydrocarbon Excellence allows you to accomplish the following:
Fast, reliable measurements are a necessity to maintaining the integrity of your processes and the quality of your product. The Airgas Center for Hydrocarbon Excellence helps you achieve greater success through increases in process control. The Center creates precise gas mixtures tailored for instruments you use to detect trace impurities and measure the composition of product streams.
We can help you determine what you need to test for and how to do it with precision. Our specific industry knowledge includes identifying which hazardous blends to avoid as well as making calibration recommendations on associated projects. We’ll produce a custom hydrocarbon standard for virtually anything you’re pulling out of the ground.
Every inch of the Center’s 21,000-square-foot facility is dedicated to handling all aspects of complex mix production from order entry to shipping. Located on the Houston Shipping Channel, the Center serves the petrochemical, refining and natural gas industries.
Mixtures are created using the highest quality raw materials and are available in nearly unlimited combinations of compounds and concentrations. By housing the entire process in one facility—quotes, tech support, order entry, production, R&D and data management—we streamline communication between personnel, raise efficiency and diminish error.
With our MIXMASTER and other engendering programs, we set conditions to avoid calibration errors that can emerge through phase changes in hydrocarbon mixtures. For gaseous or liquid mixtures, we provide precise calibration for your hydrocarbon standard. Airgas technical representatives provide:
With a large national presence and supply-chain efficiency, Airgas gets you the standards you need, when and where you need them. Operational downtime is minimized as we continuously outperform smaller and less diverse suppliers. Airgas technical representatives are ready to evaluate and answer any questions you may have regarding your custom blend requests.
With an industry where unplanned shutdowns or shut-ins can quickly cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, we’re ready to rapidly respond to an emergency.
As a leader in hydrocarbon calibration standards, we offer a wide range of related support products. To help you preserve your hydrocarbon gas blend, we offer an Airgas cylinder jacket. It prevents cold weather from compromising the mixture of your hydrocarbon blend by keeping cylinder temperature above the hydrocarbon dew point. It’s just one example of how we routinely match the right equipment with the right gases and the right expertise.
