Synopsis

The use of sampling systems in on-line analysis has spread to almost all areas of the process industries and they are increasingly being used in safety, process efficiency and environmental control applications. This book presents a comprehensive information resource on the concepts, design, manufacture, installation, operation, validation and maintenance of sampling and sample conditioning systems for use with process analyzers. It subdivides sampling in two ways: firstly in terms of the material sampled - gases, liquids, solids and combinations of these as heterogeneous materials; and secondly into sampling operations - sampling, sample conditioning and sample transport. This treatment provides a systematic approach to sampling, taking the reader through each stage of the process. At all times a range of practical illustrations are given along with the necessary theory. The importance of validation is emphasized throughout. This new edition has been thoroughly updated to ensure that the information is readily accessible to a readership from a wide range of technical backgrounds interested in process analysis. It should appeal to process, chemical and instrumentation engineers, sampling system manufacturers, contractors, maintenance professionals, consultants, maintenance staff and lecturers.
