Brief information

General 

The Honeywell Elster® EnCal 3000 is a gas chromatograph specially designed for natural gas energy measurements.This state-of-the-art analyzer uses chromatography components based on the latest micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and capillary column technique. This results in highly repeatable and accurate analysis results. The compact, explosion proof design includes the analytical hardware, stream selection and all required electronics for standalone operation.

The capillary column technology used in the EnCal 3000 has a superior performance compared to the conventional used packed column technique. 
Optimum peak separation in combination with a very sensitive and linear TCD detector results in a system with a high accuracy over a large range of 
gases. Since the carrier gas pressure is electronically controlled ambient temperature changes have no influence on peak retention times. The design 
of the EnCal 3000 is such that the unit can be placed outdoors close to the sample point without the need of an expensive temperature controlled environment. Communication with the EnCal 3000 can be established using the TCP/IP connection and two Modbus ports.

The configuration of the EnCal 3000 is carried out with the help of the software package RGC 3000. This software package can be used to configure the (freely programmable) Modbus listing, the analyzer method, alarm settings, and all other available parameters in the analyzer. RGC 3000 is the 
only user interface to the EnCal 3000, which means a separate control unit is not required to operate the instrument or to change any confi guration 
parameters. The TCP/IP connection offers a lot of communication possibilities, like networking capabilities. By using Modbus via TCP/IP multiple 
instruments such as fl ow computers can be connected to the EnCal 3000. Besides the RGC 3000 software package, the unit can be supplied with a powerful diagnostic software tool, which can be used to analyse the internally stored data. 35 days of data is stored in the EnCal's solid state memory 
in accordance with the API 21.1 standard. 

With the help of the "History logger" software, this data can be retrieved, presented and transferred to HTML based reports. The modular design of the EnCal 3000 enables the servicing of the analyzer by non-specialist personnel and keeps instrument down-time very short. The use of the MEMS based components results in far lower consumption of utilities like the Helium carrier gas. The use of the MEMS based components results in far 
lower consumption of utilities like the Helium carrier gas. All of this.

Confi guration software

Data communication

API data storage

The main functions of the RGC 3000 configuration software are: 
• Configuration of the analzser method and application 
• Setting of alarms + limits 
• Printing of chromatograms, 
• confi guration and analysis results 
• Performing manually activated 
calibrations 
A special feature of the RGC software is the"recalculation" option that enables the user to change an integration parameter and check the effect of this change without performing a new analysis. The EnCal 3000 simply recalculates the 
analysis results based on the raw data of a pre
viously performed analysis. This is a time-saving 
option, whenever the operator needs to optimize 
the analysis. The RGC 3000 software can also be used to update the embedded software of the gas chromatograph, should any new software releases become available. This can be done locally or remotely, provided the EnCal 3000 is connected to a network, which can be accessed remotely. 
Because all analyzer parameters are available 
electronically, the remote control capabilities are 
much more valuable than with traditional gas 
chromatographs. The column head pressure and 
temperatures of the analytical components, for 
example, can be changed or checked remotely. 
The Modbus confi guration of the EnCal 3000 is 
freely programmable. It canbe customized to the 
application and to the equipmentcommunicating 
with the analyzer. Both the serial Modbus and 
the Modbus via TCP/IP can be tested using the 
WINDCS software tool.

Communication with the EnCal 3000 can be 
established using the TCP/IP connection and two confi gurable (RS 232/485) Modbus ports. If a PC is connected running the RGC 3000 software package, this always uses the TCP/IP connection. 
This PC with the RGC 3000 software is the only 
user interface with the gas chromatograph. This 
means a separate control unit is not required to 
operate the instrument or to change any of the 
instrument's configurationparameters. The TCP/ IP connection offers a lot of communication 
possibilities, like networking capabilities. By using Modbus via TCP/IP, multiple instruments such as flow computers can be connected to the 
EnCal 3000.

In today's natural gas market it is becoming 
increasingly important to have reliable energy 
measurement data concerning the gas transpor
ted through the pipeline. To secure the analysis 
data of the EnCal 3000 the analyzer is equipped 
with an internaldata storage of 35 days. This 
means that all analysis and calibrations perfor
med during this period can be retrieved, even if all communication between the instrument and external devices such as flow computers has failed for a certain period of time. This data is stored in accordance with the API 21.1 standard and can be retrieved with a software tool called "History logger". Using this software tool the internally stored data can be retrieved, viewed, stored on a PC and printed out in confi gurable reports

Sampling

Calibration and carrier gas

Multi stream sampling

An important part of the entire measurement sys
tem is the sample retraction and sample transport. The gas that is retracted from the pipe-line must be a representative sample, condensation must be prevented and the pressure must, in most cases, be reduced from very high pressures down to 30 - 60psig. Depending on company or country regulations several systems can be used. The most economic system is a (retractable) sample probe with integrated pressure reduction. The main advantage of these sample probes is that the pressure reduction is done inside the pipeline and the heat capacity of the gas in the pipe-line prevents the gas from condensation. The sample probe contains an integrated membrane, which separates any free liquids that might be present in the pipeline from the gas before it can enter the tubing leading to the EnCal 3000 analyzer. To prevent the gas from condensation during the transport to the EnCal 3000 it is recommended to provide heat tracing of the transport lines. Whether heat tracing is required and what capacities are needed depends largely on the dewpoint of the gas and the ambient temperatures.

The EnCal 3000 uses Helium as a carriergas. To 
make sure that an uninterrupted supply of Helium is guaranteed, the use of a Helium switch-over system is recommended. This is a pressure regulator to which two gas cylinders can be connected. The pressure of both bottles is reduced to the required value with a small pressure difference between the two reduced pressures. The bottle with the higher pressure is depleted first and once the pressure of this bottle is lower than the pressure of the second bottle, the supply is taken over by the second bottle enabling the user to replace the first bottle. To protect the analyzeragainst failure of the pressure regulator, the use of a safety relief valve at the outlet of the pressure regulator is recommended. 

The calibration gas is a very important factor 
and determines the overall accuracy of the com
plete measurement system! After all, the EnCal 
3000 can never be more accurate than the calib
ration gas it is calibrated with. The accuracy of the certificate is, of course, important but on top of this, there are several other issues to be considered, e.g. the optimum composition, the ambient temperatures of the gas cylinder and the possible condensation of the higher hydrocarbons in the calibration gas.

Elster-Instromet can advise you on each of these 
subjects and we supply all required accessories, 
such as pressure regulators, bottle heaters and 
even complete cabinets or bottle stands for out
door installations

In an ideal situation, the EnCal 3000 is placed as 
close to the sample point as possible. However, 
in most situations, especially where two or more 
gases of differentmeter runs are to be sampled, 
there will be a certain distance to the sampling 
points. To make sure that the lag time between 
the various sample points and the analyzer is 
acceptable a fast loop system is required. The 
EnCal 3000 has a built in fast loop system.

This means that if the analyzer is running several streams in a sequence the next stream to be 
analysed will be fl ushed automatically with a flush rate of approx. 0.7 - 1.1 SCF/hr. This is sufficient to fl ush at least 330 ft of 1/8" sample line. By installing two fl ow meters behind the EnCal 3000, the user can see both the normal gas sample flow and the sample bypass fl ow. Since the fast loop bypasses the moisture filter in the EnCal 3000, it does not negatively influence life time of the fi lter. The internal fast loop system of the EnCal 3000 saves substantial costs compared with individual fast loops per sample stream.
