This company has launched its first fully integrated gas analyzer package for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) applications, combining three proven technologies into a single, streamlined solution. The new offering provides a comprehensive, real-time measurement suite for CO₂ impurity detection and compliance across the entire CCUS value chain. The solution will support the decarbonization of hard-to-abate industries, including cement, waste-to-energy, oil refining, bioenergy, LNG, power generation, and chemicals. The offering combines Sensi+ CCUS laser gas analyzer, GCP100 process gas chromatograph and ACF5000 CCUS, an FTIR infrared solution, to ensure complete CO₂ stream quality from capture through transport to storage. This one-stop shop solution is designed to deliver high-precision detection of trace impurities, help operators manage CO₂ quality, protect pipelines, and ensure compliance with stringent purity standards. The offering brings together the three technologies in a single, turnkey solution delivered in a fully equipped analyzer shelter with a modular design. This simplifies procurement, reduces engineering effort, and ensures measurement consistency across the CCUS chain. Even minor variations in CO₂ impurities can have major operational consequences. Contaminants such as H₂S, moisture, oxygen, and inert gases can affect compressibility, increase corrosion risk, and lead to pipeline rejection. Non-compliance may result in disconnection from CO₂ networks and force operators to return emissions to the stack, incurring costly financial penalties. This integrated analyzer suite provides continuous real-time measurement to help operators avoid these risks and maintain process integrity.
