New Process Gas Analyser with Web-based Interface and Advanced Processing Capabilities

Emerson Process Management recently announced the availability of the Rosemount Analytical X-Stream XE process gas analyser that combines web-browser-based accessibility with advanced processing capabilities. With expanded data communication, calibration, and event logging capabilities, the X-Stream XE is the ideal choice for complex process industry gas analysis applications that require more than basic gas analysis.

The X-Stream XE enhances the Rosemount Analytical family of X-Stream process gas analysers and takes process gas analysis to the next level of ease of use and communication capabilities. With a unique new web browser, it enables users to securely login to calibrate parameters and manage alarms from any Ethernet connection. The ability to remotely manage the analyser greatly simplifies diagnostics, speeds the troubleshooting process, and reduces the number of trips into the field by an estimated 50 per cent.

With powerful processing capabilities and innovative new built-in engineering tools, the X-Stream XE offers a programmable logic controller (PLC) that enables automation of the sample handling system and online programming through the web browser. In addition, an enhanced data logger offers improved data tracking, including a NAMUR status indicator, improved event logging, and a new calibration log file.

The X-Stream XE enables analysis of traditionally difficult to analyse gas, without compromising performance, reliability, or safety. As with the entire family of X-Stream process gas analysers, the X-Stream XE is available in a number of different casing styles, including flameproof, field housing, general purpose, and general purpose compact to meet the unique requirements of each plant environment.

“X-Stream XE continues Rosemount Analytical’s commitment to providing gas analysers that are operationally intuitive, and that don’t comprise performance or application flexibility,” said Ken Biele, president of the Rosemount Analytical division of Emerson Process Management.

Featuring an expanded graphical display and more powerful electronics, the X-Stream XE still uses many of the same internal components as other X-Stream process gas analyser models. This enables the installation of the multiple X-Stream product models to fit the unique needs of each process unit, without requiring an expanded spare parts inventory or operator retraining.
