The OXYvisor is a process oxygen analyzer, best used for measuring oxygen concentration in online and continuous process monitoring and control applications. It is commonly known as an O2 analyzer, oxygen meter, dissolved oxygen meter, or DO meter.
The device uses a luminescent optical quenching technique to measure oxygen concentration by volume (ppmv, molar basis) in gas phase or dissolved oxygen measurement (ppbv, ppmv) in liquid and aqueous phase applications. The oxygen meter is coupled, via a flexible fiber optic cable, of optional lengths, to a small external oxygen sensor that can be placed in an extracted sample stream, or directly in situ to the process stream as a gaseous oxygen sensor or when used in liquids as dissolved oxygen probe dissolved probe or optical dissolved oxygen sensor.
The OXYvisor is designed to measure oxygen concentration in a wide range of industries and applications. Extensive North American (NEC / CEC) and International (IEC Ex / ATEX) safety and hazardous location certifications, along with its rugged industrial design, allow it to be used indoors, outdoors, and within laboratories. The analyzer is used in the oil and gas hydrocarbon industry (upstream / midstream, offshore, refining and petrochemical) in conjunction with manufacturing (annealing furnaces, fiber optic production, contact lenses, etc.) and energy production. renewable (biogas and ethanol). markets.
Common applications for upstream and intermediate waters are trace O2 (ppm) in VRUs, collection lines, booster / compression stations, gas plant inlets, and custody transfer points along with CO2 lift and flood water for Enhanced Oil Recoveries (EOR). While common downstream applications include nitrogen headers, tank blanketing, anaerobic digesters, and mercaptan oxidation (MEROX).
