Hobre Metorex C100 XT

Hobre Metorex C100 XT

Advanced EDXRF

The C100 is based on Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) technology which is well known as an element measurement technique. EDXRF measures the characteristic X-rays generated by the atoms in the sample. The measurement has the following inherent advantages: 

  • The measurement is integral over the time of the entire measurement not instantaneous at the beginning of the measurement.
  • No oxygen is required. C100 requires only inert purge gas for explosion proof operation.
  • No high temperature components are required for operation.
  • The measuring head contains a leak detector, which will cause an instantaneous alarm in the case of cell leaks.
  • Alarm inputs and outputs, which allow complete shutdown of the system in case of emergency
  • No moving parts; very low maintenance required
  • With this technology C100 can measure any elements ranging from silicon (Z=14) to uranium (Z=92), from sub-ppm level to over 10%. Concentration range and accuracy are application dependent. Application support is available from Metorex and its partners at any time.

Catalyst analysis

In many chemical processes catalysts are used to enhance conversion and limit conversion time. In these processes the concentration of the catalyst in the process streams is valuable information to control the process.

The C100-XT is designed form measurement of these catalyst in the feed stream, process streams and recovery streams.

Benefits:

  • Elements from Al to U can be measured very accurately to monitor the process.
  • Up to 4 different elements can be measured.
  • The sample wetted components are teflon, inert for harsh conditions in which the analysers are used. Other materials are available.
  • The analyser can be placed in hazardous areas, making it possible to place the instrument near the process; in the field, on platforms etc.
  • Hobre offers completely integrated analyser systems, to guarantee a good performance of the combined system.
  • Systems can be supplied in cabinets of shelters.
