Promet EExd – The Moisture Analyzer for the Modern Process Environment
Promet EExd offers single and dual channel moisture measurement, with integrated electronic pressure reading, within a single fi eld-installed fl ameproof housing. User interface is provided through the bright vacuum fl uorescent display and touch screen switches.
Comprehensive Sampling Systems of state-of-the-art design, with best practice sample fi ltration, pressure reduction and ow control, and a range of options are available to fulfi l user specifi c installation and application requirements.
Simple Flameproof Installation
Promet EExd is fl ameproof certifi ed for use in IEC Zone 1 and 2/NEC Class 1 Div. 1 and 2 hazardous areas. The Main Unit (electronics and sensing) and associated sampling system may be mounted at a convenient location next to the pipeline or process, with gas sample and vent connections. A single, low power single-phase AC supply is required for both the analyzer and sampling system. No barrier units or safety earth are required, saving the user both cost and inconvenience.
Advanced Sensor Technology
Promet EExd utilises the Michell Ceramic Moisture Sensor, offering unrivalled reliability and performance with more than 1,000 installations in natural gas and petrochemical installations world-wide.
Comprehensive Measurement Units
Promet EExd offers complete fl exibility for the user to select the preferred hygrometric unit, be it dew-point temperature in °C or °F, or an exhaustive list of moisture content units. Integral pressure measurement enables unit conversions from dew point to moisture content, or dew point to dew point for different pressure conditions.
The fi rmware of Promet EExd incorporates conversion data for ideal gases and also specifi c to natural gas, using either the long established IGT Research Bulletin No. 8 or the more recently published ISO 18453, to customer order preference.
Calibration Maintenance Made Easy
Maintenance of traceable calibration is essential to the lifetime performance of all analyzers. Beware claims of “automatic calibration”. This is a non-traceable, internal fi eld check and does not represent a true calibration of the analyzer.
For Promet EExd, true calibration maintenance is simple. The unique Michell Calibration Exchange Service offers fast delivery, world-wide, of newly calibrated replacement Ceramic Sensors certifi ed traceable to NPL and NIST. As the calibration data for the Promet EExd Sensor is programmed into on-board non­volatile memory, fi tment of a Calibration Exchange Sensor renews the calibration with minimal downtime.
Thick- and thin-fi lm semiconductor technologies with metallized ceramics produce an exceedingly durable sensor, with measurement sensitivity to 10 ppb high-pressure capability up to 138 barg (2000 psig).
Unlike older aluminium-oxide technologies, the inherent immunity to pressure shock of the Ceramic Sensor completely avoids any risk of sensor failure at commissioning or shut-down, whilst the unique inert nature of the sensor gives unrivalled long-term resistance to chemical attack, even in extremely sour gas with percentage level H
The Ceramic Sensor responds to the partial pressure of water vapour in the gas being measured, which is directly related to the dew point temperature. Every Promet EExd sensor is calibrated against fundamental dew point measurement systems in Michell’s world-class laboratory, which is internationally accredited and directly traceable to both NPL (UK) and NIST (USA) base standards. Precise process moisture measurement with a class leading best accuracy of ±10% of measured value is assured.

No programming or data input is required by the user to complete the calibration process. The Calibration Exchange Service facilitates a professional, scheduled user QA programme at a lower cost than a traditional ‘return to manufacturer’ re­calibration service.
Calibration or exchange is recommended annually for sweet gases and six-monthly for sour gases. Field calibration, using a portable dew point generator (ASTM D5454), against a calibrated reference hygrometer or against certifi ed moisture- in-gas cylinders is also possible. Promet EExd accommodates such needs within the operating fi rmware, providing user- friendly access to the calibration characterisation table to allow adjustments to be made at just one point (for example using a certifi ed moisture in gas cylinder) or multiple points (using a eld generator) across the measurement range.
Temperature Controlled for Best Accuracy
To ensure continuous optimum performance, the Promet EExd Main Unit is internally temperature controlled at the normal maximum local environmental temperature. This greatly reduces the effect of diurnal temperature variations that would otherwise introduce transitional adsorption and de­sorption effects in the sampling system components and result in erroneous measurements during periods of temperature change.
In addition the Promet EExd features an advanced temperature compensation algorithm that automatically maintains best possible measurement accuracy in the event of heater failure or if the prevailing climate exceeds the set temperature level.

Process Analyzers
Premium Sampling Systems
Good sample conditioning and handling is particularly important in the fi eld of moisture measurement. As the moisture sensor has to be exposed directly to the process gas stream in order to detect the water vapour present, then key sampling issues such as the avoidance of particulate and liquid contamination are imperative to successful operation. Our 30 years of expertise in on-line process gas analyzers are used to optimise the design of the Promet EExd Premium Sampling Systems.
Two core confi gurations, both available in either single- or dual- channel version, are available for key applications:
Natural Gas Processing and Transmission Sampling Systems
The reliable solution for glycol dehydration processes offshore and onshore and for onward pipeline transmission of sales gas. The most advanced fi ltration techniques with micro-porous membrane and continuous by-pass fl ow remove and dispose of all liquid phase contaminants. A glycol adsorption cartridge removes residual vapour that may otherwise interfere with the moisture signal.
Trace Moisture in Hydrocarbon Gas Sampling System
An optimised design for continuous trace moisture measurement in low ppmV and ppbV ranges for molecular sieve dehydration of natural gas prior to cryogenic liquefaction. Also suitable for many other monitoring applications at trace moisture levels in refi nery gases and critical petrochemical processes. A minimalist approach to the sampling system design is essential to ensure best dynamic response to process moisture variations. A particulate fi lter and isolation valve are the only components prior to the sensor. As measurements are made at pipeline conditions, no regulators or other complex upstream components are necessary so ensuring the Promet EExd remains in continuous equilibrium with the process gas condition without any signifi cant response lag.
Custom Design Service
Custom design sampling systems are available for other specifi c applications such as higher pressure processes and hydrogen recycle gas moisture measurement in catalytic reformer refi nery processes. Your Michell offi ce or authorised distributor will be pleased to discuss your specifi c application/ installation requirements.
