Applications
Standard Natural Gas Applications

Hydrocarbon Dew Point Monitoring

Emerson Process Management has made popular end-user

energy and gas quality applications standard on all Danalyzer
gas chromatographs. Applications may vary by components
of interest, analysis time, reduced hardware, or improved
precision. For non-standard natural gas applications, Emerson
can custom-engineer the 700XA Gas Chromatograph to fit

The 700XA Gas Chromatograph offers accurate and reliable

hydrocarbon dew point calculations from the extended
C9+ analysis by combining two detectors and a controller
within a single housing reducing complexity, minimizing
maintenance and spare parts requirements, simplifying the
scope of analyzers at the pipeline, and reducing the overall
cost of the analytical solution.

most requirements.

Energy Measurement (to C6+ and C9+)

The 700XA Gas Chromatograph standard applications for
energy measurement include C6+ (three minutes), C7+
(ten minutes), and C9+ (five minutes). The latest GPA 2145/2172,
AGA-8, and ISO 6976 calculations are available and can be
configured to be calculated together.

The 700XA integrates hydrocarbon dew point software into

the gas chromatograph to provide dew point temperatures
for up to four user-entered pressures and the cricondentherm
using the Peng-Robinson or the Redlich-Kwong-Suave
equations of state. Real-time dew point results can be provided
by using analog or Modbus inputs from another device for the
calculation pressures.
The measured C6/C7/C8 and C9+ components allow for
an accurate determination of the hydrocarbon dew point
for pipeline-quality natural gas using reliable and lowmaintenance thermal conductivity detectors (TCDs), avoiding
standalone dew point analyzers or flame ionization detectors
(FIDs), which require additional utility gas requirements.
For heavier gas applications where significant amounts of
components above C10 are expected, an FID can be combined
with a TCD to provide for further extended analysis.

Custom Applications
If Emersons standard applications do not fit your needs, the
700XA Gas Chromatograph can be customized to meet many
measurement requirements. Simply submit a completed
application data sheet found at the end of this data sheet with
your request, or ask our Application Engineers for assistance.

Gas Quality Analysis

Natural gas contaminants, such as hydrogen sulfide and
oxygen, reduce pipeline integrity over time. Most contaminants
can be easily measured in the 700XA Gas Chromatograph
for online quality assurance. Contaminant monitoring can be
combined with energy measurements for complete custody
transfer analysis. To the extent possible, these combined
applications utilize independent gas chromatograph valves,
detectors, and columns for each primary measurement. This
technique offers greater reliability, increased speed, and easier
troubleshooting. This application approach also simplifies field
upgrades and re-applications in the 700XA Gas Chromatograph
by minimizing internal piping changes.

Superior Performance
The Danalyzer Difference

Thermal Conductivity Detectors

Building off of the proven valves, columns, and detectors of the

Model 500 and Model 700 Gas Chromatographs, the 700XA
Gas Chromatograph analytical oven has been redesigned for
maximum serviceability and expandability. It features a new,
cleaner architecture with fewer cables, making the 700XA
simple to maintain. In addition, the oven features a unique,
pivot-top base that provides maximum accessibility to the
components below.

The thermal conductivity detector (TCD) is the detector of

choice for most applications due to its universal response to
all components of interest in natural gas and light refinery and
hydrocarbon processing gas analysis. The TCD found in the
700XA Gas Chromatograph is able to measure well beyond the
normal ranges seen in other designs and is sensitive enough
to perform many applications with low parts-per-million
measurement requirements. This greatly simplifies the gas
chromatograph design and lowers the cost to the end user

Multiple temperature control zones and up to four six-port

or ten-port valves and two independent detectors provide
extreme application flexibility and range. All components in the
oven are completely accessible and serviceable in the field to
reduce the total cost of ownership over the life of the analyzer.

when a simple and rugged TCD can be used.

Micro Flame Ionization Detector

(FID)
The micro-flame ionization detector, coupled with a
new detector pre-amplifier/electrometer board, permits
measurement of trace hydrocarbons in a variety of samples at
parts-per-billion (ppb) concentrations. The FID is unique in the
industry because of its small size (less than three inches high)
that fits inside the explosion-proof housing of the 700XA
Gas Chromatograph. Typical applications include measuring
trace impurities in gases and light hydrocarbons, as well as
ambient air monitoring.

Micro-packed Columns
Unique analytical assembly design pivots to allow instant access to
all components.

Gas Chromatograph Valves

The 700XA has the capacity to support up to four ten-port or
six-port diaphragm/piston gas chromatograph valves. These
pneumatic valves are guaranteed for the life of the gas
chromatograph and are specified to operate over five million
cycles. The unique, double-diaphragm design removes the need
for springs, o-rings, or lubrication. Valve service is performed by
replacing a cost-effective diaphragm set, which can normally be
completed in less than ten minutes.

Stream Switching Module

The internal sample stream switching module is available in four
or eight-stream versions. For applications with widely varying
stream composition, double-block-and-bleed configuration is

The 700XA Gas Chromatograph offers micro-packed columns

with a superior combination of features found in both capillary
and conventional packed columns speed, sharp peak
resolution, and low carrier gas consumption. In addition, the
unique design provides for greatly extended column life and
the longest warranty available on the market (five years on the
standard C6+ natural gas set). Standard capillary columns may
also be used in 700XA applications as required.

Six-port and ten-port XA valves build on

Integration with ThirdParty Networks

April 2014

FOUNDATION Fieldbus

Whether you want to network gas chromatographs throughout

your network or simply link a single gas chromatograph to a
flow computer, the 700XA can be configured to handle most
any scenario.
Choice of Ethernet, FOUNDATION fieldbus, Modbus Serial,
or 420 mA analog outputs
Uses industry standard non-proprietary communication

protocols that allows connection to other XA series or

legacy gas chromatographs over the same network.
Use MON2020 for diagnotics, configuration, and data

retrieval over Ethernet, Serial, or Modem connections.

Emerson's 1500XA and 700XA Gas Chromatographs are the

first and only gas chromatographs that are certified by the
Fieldbus Foundation. It is quickly becoming the industry
standard, and use of this protocol reduces the amount of
engineering necessary during the installation process, as it
doesnt require the manual point mapping of the Modbus
protocol. It also requires less wiring, fewer junction boxes, cable
trays, and I/O cards, which means a cleaner, simpler, easier to
understand analytical footprint as compared to traditional I/O
installations.

The 700XA Gas Chromatograph supports four types of

communication interfaces
10/100 Mbps Ethernet connectivity
A FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 interface
RS-232, RS-422, and RS485 serial communication links

420 mA analog outputs

The Modbus protocol is widely used today because it is simple

and effective. The 700XA can be configured to use the flow
computer industry standard SIM-2251 Modbus map and be
compatible with communication links from legacy Danalyzer
GC installations, or fully customized Modbus maps can be
configured using either single register per floating point
(ENRON Format) or two registers per floating point format used
in DCS and PLC systems.

Ethernet Connectivity
Two Ethernet interfaces are available on the 700XA Gas
Chromatograph. Each interface can be configured with a static
IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. The RJ45 connector
Ethernet port can be configured to operate as a DHCP host to
simplify local PC access. The Ethernet interfaces on the 700XA
serve two purposes serve MON2020 connections and serve
Modbus TCP requests. The dual Ethernet interfaces can be used
in many ways. Examples:
One to connect to a plant network for GC maintenance
personnel and the other to a control network using
Modbus TCP
One to a broadband cellular wireless gateway for remote
GC access for data collection and maintenance, and the
other for a local laptop connection

OPC
With the optional GC-OPC server, the 700XA can connect
via OPC with fully configurable definition files and remote
operation control capabilities.

Modbus Serial

Three hard-wired serial ports that can be configured as RS-232,

RS-485, or RS-422 links to communicate to host systems using
the Modbus protocol. Additionally, an additional fourth serial
port is configured for RS-232 with a nine-pin D-type connector
and can be used for direct connection to a Daniel ultrasonic
meter or local MON2020 access. The ultrasonic flow-meter
link enables the online calculation of the speed of sound for
continuous validation of the custody measurement. If more
serial links are required, up to two additional serial ports can be
added using the two expansion ports using ROC800 series I/O
cards.

420 mA Analog Outputs

The 700XA Gas Chromatograph supports six isolated 420 mA
analog outputs that can be expanded to 14 analog outputs with
optional expansion cards.

Custom-Engineered
Solutions

A complete online analytical solution is more than just the

analyzer. Sample conditioning systems to prepare the sample
for analysis, communication links to the plant control computer,
and packaging of the analytical equipment into a cabinet or
shelter all play an important role.
Emerson Process Management has decades of experience
providing complete turnkey solutions ranging from simple
single-analyzer cabinets up to large integrated shelters with
multiple types of analyzers.
The key to successful system integration begins at the proposal
stage where Emerson Process Management develops a
custom-engineered solution. This is followed by experienced
project management during the system fabrication and on to
installation and training once the system is delivered to the
field.

700XA Natural Gas Chromatograph

Environmental Chamber Testing

Every Emerson Gas Chromatograph that leaves our facility
undergoes rigorous testing throughout assembly. The
majority of our systems are put into a 24-hour environmental
chamber test, where they must operate to specification in an
environment where the temperatures cycle between 0 and
130 F (-18 and 54 C) for a minimum of 24 hours.
Our product testing procedures are much stricter than the
industry standard for analytical measurement products. When
you purchase an Emerson Gas Chromatograph, you can be
assured that you are investing in the highest-quality online gas
chromatograph available. As a result of chamber testing, we
can guarantee all gas chromatographs that we ship will operate
to the performance specifications across the stated operating
temperature range.

Custom-Engineered Sample Systems

Any gas chromatograph is only as good as the quality of the
sample it measures. The standard sample system includes
a particulate filter and liquid filter/shut-off for each sample
stream. If required, the sample system can also be custom
engineered for the specific requirements of the application.
Common features include:
Heated and open-panel designs
All components rated for the area classification
Variety of sample probes to extract a reliable and
stable sample from the process

Hydrocarbon Dew Point Monitoring

APPLICATIONS
Standard Natural Gas Applications

We have made our most popular energy and gas

quality applications standard. Applications may vary
by components of interest, analysis time, reduced
hardware (economics), or improved precision. Choose
the one that is right for you, or we will create one that
is customized for your specific application.
Energy Measurement (to C6+ and C9+)
The Danalyzer Model 700 offers applications for
energy measurement from C6+ hydrocarbon ranges to
C9+ hydrocarbon ranges. Calculations based on GPA
2145 or ISO 6976 standards can be provided.

Gas Quality Analysis

C 6+ C 9+

Natural gas contaminants reduce pipeline integrity

over time. Most contaminants can be easily measured
in the Model 700 for online quality assurance.
Contaminant monitoring can be combined with
energy measurements for complete custody transfer
analysis. To the extent possible, these combined
applications utilize independent gas chromatograph
valves, detectors, and columns, for each primary
measurement. This technique offers greater reliability,
increased speed, and easier troubleshooting. This
application approach also makes field upgrades and
re-applications in the Danalyzer Model 700 easy by
minimizing internal piping changes.

Accurate and reliable hydrocarbon dew point

determination can now be made as an option to any
C9+ extended analysis application. The DewCalc
Hydrocarbon Dew Point software is completely integral
to the gas chromatograph and provides dew point
temperatures and cricondentherm for up to four userentered pressures. Alternately, real-time dew point
results can be provided by using analog or Modbus
inputs from another device.
DewCalc software is loaded with features,
including:
Choice of two equations of state, Peng-Robinson or
Soave-Redlich-Kwong
Library of 93 hydrocarbon compounds for detailed
breakdown of C9+ fraction
DewCalc report with analysis results and factors
used

SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
The Danalyzer Difference
Modular Analytical Oven
An element that is key to the Danalyzer Model 700 Gas
Chromatographs application flexibility is the modular
analytical oven. Using field-proven Danalyzer valves,
columns, and detectors, the analytical oven has been
redesigned to make it modular and scalable. Six- or
ten-port valves and detectors mount to a triangular
kiosk block which facilitates valve heating and
pneumatic actuation. Three temperature control zones
and up to three valves and two detectors operating
independently provide extreme application flexibility
and range. All components in the oven are completely
accessible and serviceable in the field.

Gas Chromatograph Valves

At the heart of the
Danalyzers superior
reliability are the six- and
ten-port diaphragm/piston
gas chromatograph valves. These pneumatic valves
are guaranteed for the life of the gas chromatograph
and specified to operate over 5 million times between
service. By minimizing internal movement (1/1,000
inch) of the pistons, which never come in contact
with sample, abrasive mechanical wear is virtually
eliminated. This unique double-diaphragm design
removes the need for all springs, o-rings, or lubrication.
Valve service is performed by replacing a cost-effective
diaphragm set, normally completed in less than 10
minutes.
Detectors
The thermal conductivity detector
(TCD) is the detector of choice
for most applications due to
its universal response to all
compounds. The TCD found in
the Danalyzer Model 700 Gas Chromatograph is able
to go well beyond the normal measuring ranges seen
in other designs by being able to do many applications

Page 3

Product Datasheet
DAN-PDS-GC-700
with low parts-per-million measurement requirements.
This greatly simplifies the gas chromatograph design
when a simple and rugged TCD can be used. The
flame ionization detector (FID) for trace hydrocarbon
measurements and the flame photometric detector
(FPD) module for trace sulfur measurements are also
available.
Micro-packed Columns
Danalyzer micro-packed columns
offer a superior combination of
features found in both capillary and
conventional packed columns
speed, sharp peak resolution, and low
carrier gas consumption. In addition,
this unique design provides for greatly extended column
life and the longest warranty available on the market
(five years on the standard C6+ natural gas set).
Stream Switching Module
The Danalyzer Gas
Chromatograph offers an
internal sample stream
switching module. Available
in four- or eight-stream
versions, this module utilizes the same helium-rated
24-volt solenoids used in the analytical oven. It is
temperature-controlled for operation above the sample
dewpoint. For applications with widely varying stream
composition, double block and bleed configuration is
optionally available.

Local Indication and Operation Panel

Analyzer health and valve status can be viewed through
the glass cover of the lower enclosure. The panel
displays green (OK), yellow (warning), and red (failure)
LEDs, along with LEDs for all gas chromatograph valve
actuations, power, and CPU health. Each valve can be
actuated manually for simplified troubleshooting and
fast system purging after maintenance.
Touch Key Local Operator Interface (Optional)
The Model 700 local operator interface (LOI) allows
for maintenance and operation of a Model 700 without
a laptop or PC. The LOI is a state-of-the-art high
resolution color display that is touch key infrared
activated and supports all core GC operations.
Features of the LOI include:
- Color LCD with QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) resolution
- ASCII text and graphics modes
- Auto-backlighting (adjustable)
- 8 infrared-activated touch keys and screen saver
- Eliminates external magnetic pen requirement
- Maintains the Model 700 hazardous area
classifications
- Operates in the same ambient temperatures as the
base Model 700
- Complete GC status, control and diagnostics,
including full chromatogram display

CONTROLLER ELECTRONICS AND

COMMUNICATIONS
Modular Electronics
The controller electronics, option cards, and field
termination boards are packaged conveniently in the
lower enclosure of the Danalyzer Model 700. Separate
power and output connections are made through this
enclosure.
Compatible Electronics and Software
The Danalyzer Model 700 uses the same CPU board
as the Danalyzer Model 500, thus making features,
options, and operation nearly identical. No new
training is required.

Secure Modbus Connectivity

For online gas chromatographs, Modbus continues to

be the preferred choice to connect to a gas chromatograph network. Our Modbus design avoids the use of
central interface cards or computers that can act as a
single-point of failure in the Modbus link. Instead, the
flow computer or SCADA system can talk directly to
each gas chromatograph to gather the data needed.
Furthermore, the register and coil addresses can be
easily customized to meet the specific data structure of
