Problems solved by technology

[0010] With alumina and silica sensors, water molecules take time to enter and exit the pores, causing delayed wetting and drying, especially during and after exposure to high moisture
Contaminants and corrosion will damage and block the air holes, causing loss of calibration and rendering the sensor permanently useless

Embodiment

[0097] Using the techniques and spectrometer described here, yielding Figure 13 The curve shown for water vapor in ethylene at a partial pressure of 500 mBar, Figure 14 The curve shown for water vapor in propylene at a partial pressure of 250 mBar, and Figure 15 Curve shown for water vapor in isobutane at a partial pressure of 300 mBar. For each example shown, use the same figure 2 The structure of the sample chamber shown is similar to that of a single sample chamber. A tuned laser operating at approximately 2735 nm provides the incident light. The laser pulse cycle period was approximately 263 milliseconds, and the temperature of the spectrometer was controlled by placing the spectrometer in a thermally controlled cabinet maintained above 30°C with an accuracy of approximately ±0.1°C.

[0098] The results of these examples demonstrate ≤ 500 ppb H in gas mixtures containing olefins 2 Renewable amount of O. For ethylene, an absorption chamber with a total path length...

Abstract

Low concentrations of water vapor within a background of one or more olefin gases may be detected and quantified using a differential absorption spectrometer. A dehydrated sample of the gas is used as a background sample whose absorption spectrum allows elimination of absorption features not due to water vapor in the gas. Absorption spectra may recorded using tunable diode lasers as the light source. These lasers may have a wavelength bandwidth that is narrower than the water vapor absorption feature used for the differential absorption spectral analysis.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application, the filing date of the original application is April 19, 2007, the application number is 200780020902.X (PCT / US2007 / 009648), and the title of the invention is "measurement of water vapor in hydrocarbons". [0002] related application [0003] This application for patent is filed under 35 U.S.C. § 119 and claims Serial No. 60 / 793,404, filed April 19, 2006, entitled "MEASUREMENT OF MOISTURE IN OLEFIN GASES" ("Moisture Measurement in Olefin Gases") Priority to US Provisional Patent Application, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0004] The subject matter disclosed herein relates to the measurement of water vapor in hydrocarbon gas mixtures. Background technique [0005] Currently available techniques for characterizing water vapor in hydrocarbon gas mixtures suffer from various drawbacks. For example, the constant maintenance and corrections required in this field make it cu...
