Abstract: The properties of the gas, the composition of the sample during upset and the operation in hazardous locations affect the analytical method development and the hardware design for online instrumentation. Since on-line gas chromatographs are installed at the pipeline to analyze sample continuously, the hardware must be designed for reliable analyses, durability and low maintenance. To provide a reliable on-line gas chromatograph, the integrated valve system should be designed with the flexibility to allow multiple (multiple valves and detectors), leak-free analyses. For increased durability, the material and components of the integrated valve system must be carefully selected and the columns and connective tubing should be carefully prepared to prevent from contaminating the system. Since the GC system can be contaminated during upset conditions, the valve system should be easily cleaned or replaced. 1-4 In this presentation, system design (patents pending), operating characteristics, durability and performance of an integrated on-line GC system will be discussed. The system durability (i.e. long-term testing) data and performance (i.e. repeatability) data for light hydrocarbons (C1-C10) will be presented.
