AMETEK Process Instruments releases IECEx Zone 2 Certified 993X series of wall-mountable analyzers

The 993X series of analyzers, encompassing the 993X and 9933, are now IECEx Zone 2 certified for use in locations with up to +60ºC ambient temperatures. Built with IP66 rated enclosures and utilizing an integrated cooling system, the 993X analyzers can be installed outdoors, or in minimally temperature-controlled enclosures, reducing complexity while lowering capital and operating costs. The new 993X configuration option compliments the existing ATEX, IECEx, UKEX Zone 1 & Zone 2 and North America Class I Division 2 approvals for analyzers installed in areas with lower ambient temperatures.

Michael Gaura, senior product manager explained, “We’ve been listening to our customers. Plant design engineers have been informing us that ambient temperatures have been rising at their operational sites. The higher temperature rating of the 993X will provide users with an analyzer designed to continuously operate at higher temperatures, with or without temperature-controlled shelters or cabinets. For those users that cannot guarantee continuous cooling of their analyzer shelters, this version of the 993X gives them an additional level of protection for their analyzer investment.”

The 993X series of analyzers use ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy to measure hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, and methyl mercaptan in natural gas and biomethane gas streams. These highly advanced analyzers are also used to measure hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, carbon disulfide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen in sulfur removal and recovery operations. Standard features include color touch screen display and Modbus communications.

For over 40 years, AMETEK Process Instruments has served the hydrocarbon processing industry with a commitment to designing innovative, reliable analyzers that meet the highest safety standard and help achieve improved levels of productivity and process gas quality. The company is recognized worldwide for analyzer reliability and accuracy supported by exceptional service.
