SpectraSensors OverviewSpectraSensors, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of technologically advanced electro-optic gas analyzers for the industrial process, gas distribution and environmental monitoring markets. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, SpectraSensors was incorporated in 1999 as a spin-off of the NASA/Caltech Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for the purpose of commercializing space-proven measurement technologies initially developed at JPL. SpectraSensors was acquired by the Endress + Hauser Group in 2012, which has expanded our reach in the global marketplace.

About the Gas AnalyzersThe SS500/SS2000/SS3000 are tunable diode laser (TDL) absorption spectrometers operating in the near infrared region of the spectrum. Each compact sensor consists of a TDL light source, sample cell and detector specifically configured to enable high sensitivity measurement of a particular component within the presence of other gas phase constituents in the stream. The sensor is controlled by microprocessor-based electronics with embedded software that incorporates advanced operational and data processing algorithms.

The SS500/SS2000/SS3000 analyzer may be integrated with a sample conditioning system (SCS) that has been specifically designed to meet the sample condition requirements for the analyzer, while preserving sample integrity and minimizing sample lag time.

A sample conditioning system may also be included with the system that has been specifically designed to deliver an optimum sample stream that is representative of the process systems stream at the time of sampling. Most SS500/SS2000/SS3000 analyzer systems are configured for use at extractive natural gas sampling stations.

Differences between the SS500, SS2000, and SS3000The SS500 and SS2000 are single-channel analyzers designed to continuously measure the moisture content in natural gas pipelines. The SS2000 offers higher measurement performance in those applications, and its single measurement channel can also be configured to monitor CO2 levels in natural gas pipelines, or to measure the moisture content in CO2 pipelines.

performance specifications, refer to Table A–1 through Table A–3 and Figure 1–1 for an image of a standard SS500/SS2000 with a 0.8-m cell.

The SS3000 is a dual-channel version of the SS2000 and is usually configured to measure H2O and/or CO2 in the same or separate pipeline natural gas sample streams (for performance specifications, refer to Table A–4 and Table A–5). Refer to Figure 1–2 for an image of the analyzer with two 0.8-m cells.

Introduction

How the Analyzers WorkThe SS500/SS2000/SS3000 analyzers employ tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) to detect the presence of trace substances in process gases. Absorption spectroscopy is a widely used technique for sensitive trace species detection. Because the measurement is made in the volume of the gas, the response is much faster, more accurate and significantly more reliable than traditional surface-based sensors that are subject to surface contamination.

In its simplest form, a diode laser absorption spectrometer typically consists of a sample cell with a mirror at one end, and a mirror or window at the opposite end, through which the laser beam can pass. Refer to Figure 1–3. The laser beam enters the cell and reflects off the mirror(s) making one or more trips through the sample gas and eventually exiting the cell where the remaining beam intensity is measured by a detector. With the SS500/SS2000/SS3000 analyzers, sample gas flows continuously through the sample cell ensuring that the sample is always representative of the flow in the main pipe.

Due to their inherent structure, the molecules in the sample gas each have characteristic natural frequencies (or resonances). When the output of the laser is tuned to one of those natural frequencies, the molecules with that particular resonance will absorb energy from the incident beam. That is, as the beam of incident intensity, I0(), passes through the sample, attenuation occurs via absorption by the trace gas with absorption cross section (). According

Figure 1–4 shows the typical raw data from a laser absorption spectrometer scan including the incident laser intensity, I0(), and the transmitted intensity, I(), for a clean system and one with contaminated mirrors (shown to illustrate the system’s relative insensitivity to mirror contamination). The positive slope of raw data results from ramping the current to tune the laser, which not only increases the wavelength with current, but also causes the corresponding output power to increase. By normalizing the signal by the incident intensity, any laser output fluctuations are canceled, and a typical, yet more pronounced, absorption profile results. Refer to Figure 1–5.

Introduction

Note that contamination of the mirrors results solely in lower overall signal. However, by tuning the laser off-resonance as well as on-resonance and normalizing the data, the technique self calibrates every scan resulting in measurements that are unaffected by mirror contamination.

Wavelength Modulation Spectroscopy (WMS) Signal DetectionSpectraSensors takes the fundamental absorption spectroscopy concept a step further by using a sophisticated signal detection technique called wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS). When employing WMS, the laser drive current is modulated with a kHz sine wave as the laser is rapidly tuned. A lock-in amplifier is then used to detect the harmonic component of the signal that is at twice the modulation frequency (2f), as shown in Figure 1–6. This phase-sensitive detection enables the filtering of low-frequency noise caused by turbulence in the sample gas, temperature and/or pressure fluctuations, low-frequency noise in the laser beam or thermal noise in the detector.

With the resulting low-noise signal and use of fast post-processing algorithms, reliable parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb) detection levels are possible (depending on target and background species) at real-time response rates (on the order of 1 second).

All SpectraSensors TDL gas analyzers employ the same design and hardware platform. Measuring different trace gases in various mixed hydrocarbon background streams is accomplished by selecting a different optimum diode laser wavelength between 750-3000nm, which provides the least amount of sensitivity to background stream variations.

Getting Familiar with the AnalyzerSpectraSensors’ SS500/SS2000/SS3000 analyzers are typically comprised of a single electronics enclosure and associated measurement cell(s). Refer to Appendix A for system drawings. On the front panel of the analyzer, the keypad and LCD display serve as the user interface to each analyzer. The analyzer control electronics drive the laser, collect the signal, analyze the spectra and provide measurement output signals. Refer to Figure 1–7.

6. Check all connections for gas leaks. SpectraSensors recommends using a liquid leak detector.

7. Be sure to vent the bypass return port and pressure relief vent port (if applicable) in a similar fashion when the unit is in use.

Conditioning the SCS TubingNewly installed systems invariably have some trace contaminants and/or are intended for measuring trace amounts of gas constituents that tend to cling to system walls, which can result in erroneous readings if the constituents are not in equilibrium with the system walls. Therefore, once the analyzer and SCS are completely connected, the entire system (i.e., from the sample source valve to the vent or return) should be conditioned by flowing sample gas through the system for up to 12 hours (or until reading stabilizes) after the system is powered up and before actual readings are taken. Progress of the system conditioning can be monitored via the gas concentration readings. Once the gas constituents have reached equilibrium with the system walls, the readings should stabilize.

Do not exceed 10 PSIG (0.7 barg) in sample cell. Damage to cell may result.

3 - SAMPLE CONDITIONING SYSTEM (SCS)

SS500/SS2000/SS3000 systems may be ordered with an optional integrated Sample Conditioning System (SCS). Each SCS has been specifically designed to deliver a sample stream to the analyzer that is representative of the process stream at the time of sampling. To ensure the integrity of the sample stream and its analysis, care must be taken to install and operate the SCS properly. Therefore, any personnel intending to operate or service the analyzer and SCS should have a thorough understanding of the process application and the design of the analyzer and SCS.

Most problems experienced with sample systems tend to result from operating the system differently than intended. In some cases, the actual process conditions may be different than originally specified (e.g., flow rates, presence of contaminants, particulates, or condensables that may only exist under upset conditions). By establishing understanding of the application and the design of the system, most issues can be avoided altogether or easily diagnosed and corrected ensuring successful normal operation.

If there are any remaining questions concerning the design, operation, or maintenance of the SCS, contact your factory service representative.

Personnel should have a thorough understanding of the operation of the SS500/SS2000/SS3000 analyzer and the procedures presented here before operating the sample conditioning system.

The process sample at the sample tap may be at a high pressure. A field pressure reducing regulator is located at the sample tap to reduce the sample pressure and enable operation of the sample conditioning system at a low pressure. Use extreme caution when operating the sample probe isolation valve and field pressure reducing regulator.

The process sample at the sample tap may be at a high pressure. Make sure that the field pressure reducing regulator is equipped with an appropriate pressure relief valve.

Process samples may contain hazardous material in potentially flammable and/or toxic concentrations. Personnel should have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the physical properties and safety precautions for the sample contents before operating the SCS.

SS500/SS2000/SS3000 Analyzer

About the SCS

For a typical full-featured SCS, as shown in Figure 3–1, sample gas enters the sample conditioning unit [at the specified supply pressure set by a customer-supplied upstream regulator] via the sample supply port, passes through a shut-off valve, pressure regulator that maintains constant pressure in the measurement cell, and membrane separator where any liquid in the stream is removed. Liquid removed by the membrane separator passes through the bypass loop and collects in a filter housing. A continuous flow (set to the specified level by a metering valve with integrated flowmeter) not only flushes the liquid from the membrane separator but also maintains flow through the sample lines, which reduces sample variation.

The system drawings and schematics found in Appendix A of this manual are for illustration purposes only. Always refer to the system drawings for your specific system configuration and specifications.

SS500/SS2000/SS3000 Analyzer

To isolate the analyzer for short-term shutdown:The analyzer can be isolated from the process sample tap for short-term shutdown or maintenance of the analyzer without requiring the shutdown of the field pressure reducing station.

1. Close the sample supply shut-off valve.

2. Allow the sample to flow until all residual gas has dissipated from the lines as indicated by no flow on the sample and sample bypass flowmeters.

3. Close the atmospheric vent header shut-off valve for the combined sample bypass and measurement cell effluent from the SCS.

The process sample at the sample tap is at a high pressure. A pressure reducing regulator is located at the sample tap to reduce the sample pressure and enable operation of the SCS at a low pressure. Use extreme caution when operating the sample probe isolation valve and field pressure reducing regulator.

Process samples may contain hazardous material in potentially flammable and/or toxic concentrations. Personnel should have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the physical properties and safety precautions for the sample contents before operating the SCS.

Due to the high pressure of the process sample, it is advisable to allow the sample bypass flow to continue during short-term isolation of the analyzer. Continuing sample bypass flow allows the field pressure regulator to continue normal operation without possible overpressure and activation of the relief valve in the event the pressure regulator leaks when the downstream flow is discontinued.

The sample transport line must be vented to the atmospheric vent header through the bypass flowmeter to avoid pressure surges. The procedure given in the following steps can be followed regardless of whether or not the SCS has been isolated from the process tap as described in the previous section.

All valves, regulators, switches, etc. should be operated in accordance with site lock-out/tag-out procedures.

4. Turn off power to the analyzer.

To isolate the analyzer for long-term shutdown:If the analyzer is to be out of service for an extended period, the analyzer must be isolated at the process sample tap.

1. Open (or confirm open) the or atmospheric vent header shut-off valve for the effluent from the SCS.

2. Confirm flow in the sample bypass flowmeter (the actual flow is not critical).

3. Close the sample probe process shut-off valve at the sample supply process tap.

4. Allow pressure in the field pressure reducing regulator to dissipate until only a low residual pressure is indicated on the pressure gauge at the field station.

If the system will not be out of service for an extended period, it is advised that power remain applied to the sample transport line electric tracer, if applicable.

Process samples may contain hazardous material in potentially flammable and/or toxic concentrations. Personnel should have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the physical properties and safety precautions for the sample contents before operating the SCS.

Due to the high pressure of the process sample, it is advisable to allow the sample bypass flow to continue during long-term isolation of the analyzer.

Appendix B: Maintaining & Troubleshooting

This section presents recommendations and solutions to common problems, such as gas leaks, contamination, excessive sampling gas temperatures and pressures, and electrical noise. If your analyzer does not appear to be hampered by one of issues discussed in this chapter, contact “Customer Service” on page B-21.

Potential Risks Affecting PersonnelThis section addresses the appropriate actions to undertake when faced with hazardous situations during or before service of the analyzer. It is not possible to list all potential hazards within this document. The user is responsible for identifying and mitigating any potential hazards present when servicing the analyzer.

Mitigating risksRefer to the instructions for each situation listed below to mitigate associated risks.

Electrocution hazard

1. Shut off power at the main disconnect external to the analyzer.

2. Open enclosure door.

If service must be performed with power engaged (gain adjustment, etc.):

1. Note any live electrical components and avoid any contact with them.

2. Only use tools with a safety rating for protection against accidental contact with voltage up to 1000V (IEC 900, ASTF-F1505-04, VDE 0682/201).

Technicians are expected to follow all safety protocols established by the customer that are necessary for servicing the analyzer. This may include, but is not limited to, lockout/tagout procedures, toxic gas monitoring protocols, PPE requirements, hot work permits and other precautions that address safety concerns related to performing service on process equipment located in hazardous areas.

Complete this action before performing any service that requires working near the main input power or disconnecting any wiring or other electrical components.

Hardware Installation and Maintenance Manual B–1

Page 68: SS500/SS2000/SS3000 Gas Analyzer - SpectraSensors · The SS500/SS2000/SS3000 analyzer may be integrated with a sample conditioning system (SCS) that has been specifically designed

SS500/SS2000/SS3000 Analyzer

Explosion hazard

Any work in a hazardous area must be carefully controlled to avoid creating any possible ignition sources (e.g., heat, arching, sparking, etc.). All tools must be appropriate for the area and hazards present. Electrical connections must not be made or broken with power on (to avoid arching).

Gas LeaksProbably the most common cause of erroneous measurements is outside air leaking into the sample supply line. It is recommended the supply lines be periodically leak-tested, especially if the analyzer has been relocated or has been replaced or returned to the factory for service and the sample lines have been reconnected.

ContaminationContamination and long exposure to high humidity are valid reasons for periodically cleaning the gas sampling lines. Contamination in the gas sampling lines can potentially find its way to the sample cell and deposit on the optics or interfere with the measurement in some other way. Although the analyzer is designed to withstand some contamination, it is recommended to always keep the sampling lines as contamination free as possible. If mirror contamination is suspected, see “Cleaning the Mirrors” on page B-3.

To keep the sampling lines clean:1. Make sure that a membrane separator filter (included with most

systems) is installed ahead of the analyzer and operating normally. Replace the membrane if necessary. If liquid enters the cell and accumulates on the internal optics, a Power Fail Error will result.

2. Turn off the sample valve at the tap in accordance with site lock-out, tag-out rules.

3. Disconnect the gas sampling line from the supply port of the analyzer.

Do not use plastic tubing of any kind for sample lines. Plastic tubing is permeable to moisture and other substances which can contaminate the sample stream. SpectraSensors recommends using 1/4” O.D x0.035” wall thickness, seamless stainless steel tubing.

Process samples may contain hazardous material in potentially flammable and/or toxic concentrations. Personnel should have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the physical properties and safety precautions for the sample contents before operating the SCS.

Page 69: SS500/SS2000/SS3000 Gas Analyzer - SpectraSensors · The SS500/SS2000/SS3000 analyzer may be integrated with a sample conditioning system (SCS) that has been specifically designed

Maintaining & Troubleshooting

4. Wash the sampling line with alcohol or acetone and blow dry with mild pressure from a dry air or nitrogen source.

5. Once the sampling line is completely free of solvent, reconnect the gas sampling line to the supply port of the analyzer.

6. Check all connections for gas leaks. SpectraSensors recommends using a liquid leak detector.

Excessive Sampling Gas Temperatures and PressuresThe embedded software is designed to produce accurate measurements only within the allowable cell operating range (see Appendix A). Pressures and temperatures outside these ranges will trigger a P/T Fail Error fault. Refer to the Firmware Manual for this analyzer for instruction on system faults.

Electrical NoiseHigh levels of electrical noise can interfere with laser operation and cause it to become unstable. Always connect the analyzer to a properly grounded power source. Refer to “Protective chassis and ground connections” on page 2-4.

Peak Tracking Reset ProcedureThe analyzer’s software is equipped with a peak tracking function that keeps the laser scan centered on the absorption peak. Under some circumstances, the peak tracking function can get lost and lock onto the wrong peak. If the difference between PkDf and PkDl is more than 4, or Track Fail Error is displayed, the peak tracking function should be reset. Refer to the Firmware Manual for this analyzer for instruction.

Cleaning the MirrorsIf contamination makes its way into the cell and accumulates on the internal optics, a Power Fail Error will result. If mirror contamination is suspected, please consult with your factory sales representative before attempting to clean the mirrors. If advised to do so, use the following procedure.

If the pressure, temperature, or any other readings on the LCD appear suspect, they should be checked against the specifications (see Appendix A).

SS500/SS2000/SS3000 Analyzer

Determining the type of cell mirrorMeasurement cells will come equipped with either a glass or stainless steel mirror. Before determining whether to clean or replace the mirror, identify the type of measurement cell being used in the analyzer. Analyzers will come equipped with one or more, depending on configuration, of the cell types shown in Figure B–1.

The stainless steel mirrors have been identified with either an “X” engraved on the external bottom side of the mirror or a groove around the rim of the mirror. Glass mirrors can be used on any size cell. To determine the type of mirror being used for the system cell:

Do not attempt to clean the cell mirror until you have consulted with your factory service representative and have been advised to do so.

The sample cell assembly contains a low-power, 10 mW MAX, CW Class 3b invisible laser with a wavelength between 700-3000 nm. Never open the sample cell flanges or the optical assembly unless the power is turned off.

Always handle the optical assembly by the edge of the mount. Never touch the coated surfaces of the mirror.

Page 73: SS500/SS2000/SS3000 Gas Analyzer - SpectraSensors · The SS500/SS2000/SS3000 analyzer may be integrated with a sample conditioning system (SCS) that has been specifically designed

Maintaining & Troubleshooting

11. With gentle, uniform pressure, wipe the mirror from one edge to the other with the cleaning cloth only once and only in one direction to remove the contamination. Discard the cloth.

12. Repeat with a clean sheet of lens cleaning cloth to remove the streak left by the first wipe. Repeat, if necessary, until there is no visible contamination on the mirror.

13. Carefully replace the mirror assembly onto the cell in the same orientation as previously marked making sure the O-ring is properly seated.

14. Tighten the 6 socket-head cap screws evenly with a torque wrench to 13 in-lbs.

To replace the stainless steel mirror:If your system has been configured with a stainless steel mirror in the 0.1-m or 0.8-m measurement cell, use the following instructions to replace the mirror, if necessary.

1. Power down the analyzer as instructed in the section called “Powering Down the Analyzer” in the Firmware Manual for this analyzer.

2. Isolate the analyzer from the sample bypass flow by shutting off the appropriate valve(s) and/or pressure regulator.

3. If possible, purge the measurement cell with nitrogen for 10 minutes.

Never rub an optical surface, especially with dry tissues, as this can mar or scratch the coated surface.

If stainless steel mirrors are replacing another version of mirror in the field, such as glass, the analyzer may need to be returned to the factory for re-calibration to ensure optimal cell function. Refer to “Service Repair Order” on page B-21.

All valves, regulators, switches, etc. should be operated in accordance with site lock-out/tag-out procedures.

Process samples may contain hazardous material in potentially flammable and/or toxic concentrations. Personnel should have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the physical properties and safety precautions for the sample contents before operating the SCS.

29. Run a validation on the analyzer. Refer to the Firmware Manual for instructions to “Start Validation.”

a. If the system passes, the pressure sensor replacement is successful.

b. If the system does not pass, refer to “Customer Service” on page B-21 for instruction.

Periodic SCS Maintenance

The status of the SCS should be checked regularly to confirm proper operation (pressures, flows, etc.) and detect potential problems or failures before damage occurs. If maintenance is required, isolate the part of the system to be serviced by following the appropriate procedure under “Shutting Down the SCS” on page 3-5.

All filter elements should be checked periodically for loading. Obstruction of a filter element can be observed by a decreasing supply pressure or bypass flow. If loading of a filter is observed, the filter should be cleaned and the filter element replaced. After observation for some time, a regular schedule can be determined for replacement of filter elements.

No other regularly scheduled maintenance should be required for the system.

Preventive and On-Demand SCS Maintenance

Preventive and on-demand maintenance will be required when components and parts deteriorate or fail as a result of continuous use. The performance of the entire SCS and individual components should be monitored regularly so that maintenance may be performed on a scheduled basis in order to prevent a failure that could take the system out of operation.

The SCS is designed for convenient removal and replacement of component parts. Complete spare components should always be available. In general, if a problem or failure occurs, the complete part should be removed and replaced

Due to the chemical properties of the process samples, care must be taken to repair or replace components with proper materials of construction. Maintenance personnel should have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the chemical characteristics of the process before performing maintenance on the SCS.

Maintaining & Troubleshooting

to limit system down time. Some components may be repaired (replacement of seats and seals, etc.) and then reused.

If the sample supply line does not appear to completely clear during normal operation, it may be necessary to clean the sample transport line to remove any liquid that may adhere to the wall of the tubing. The sample transport line should be purged dry with air or nitrogen before the system is placed back in operation.

If liquid makes it into the analyzer SCS, a filter element may become obstructed leading to a decreasing supply pressure or bypass flow. If obstruction of a filter is observed, the filter should be cleaned and the filter element replaced.

Regular SCS Status Check1. Read and record the flowmeter settings while the gas is flowing.

2. Compare the current readings with the past readings to determineany variations. Reading levels should remain consistent.

3. If reading levels decrease, check the filters.

To check filters:1. Shut down the system following the procedure in “Shutting Down

the SCS” on page 3-5.

2. Inspect, repair or replace the filter as required.

3. Restart the system following the procedure in “Starting up theSCS” on page 3-3.

Instrument ProblemsIf the instrument does not appear to be hampered by gas leaks, contamination, excessive sampling gas temperatures and pressures, or electrical noise, refer to Table B–1 before contacting Customer Sservice.

The system must be taken out of service during any cleaning of the sample transport line.

PackingSpectraSensors analyzer systems and auxiliary equipment are shipped from the factory in appropriate packaging. Depending on the size and weight, the packaging may consist of a cardboard-skinned container or a wooden crate. All inlets and vents are capped and protected when packaged for shipment.

If the equipment is to be shipped or stored for any length of time, it should be packed in the original packaging when shipped when shipped from the factory, if possible. If the analyzer has been installed and or operated (even for purposes of a demonstration), the system should first be decontaminated (purged with an inert gas) before powering down the analyzer.

To purge the analyzer for shipment/relocation:

1. Refer to the procedure “To isolate the analyzer for long-term shutdown” on page 3-7.

2. Disconnect the sample tubing at the inlet to the analyzer.

3. Connect clean, dry nitrogen to the sample inlet. Set to 30 PSIG.

4. Open the low pressure flare or atmospheric vent header shut-off valve for the effluent from the sample bypass.

5. Allow the analyzer to purge for 20 minutes.

6. Shut off the nitrogen purge and disconnect.

7. Close the low pressure flare or atmospheric vent header shut-off valve for the effluent from the sample bypass.

8. Cap off all connections.

To prepare the analyzer for shipment or storage:1. Follow all instructions "To purge the analyzer for

shipment/relocation".

2. Cap all inlets, outlets, vents, conduit or gland openings (to prevent foreign material such as dust or water from entering the system)

Process samples may contain hazardous material in potentially flammable and/or toxic concentrations. Personnel should have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the physical properties of the sample and prescribed safety precautions before installing, operating or maintaining the analyzer.

If the analyzer is configured for differential measurements, purge the system with power “on” to ensure dry and wet portions of SCS are properly purged.
