Gas analysers for pharma, chemical and petrochemical plants
Solvents, fine powders, live cultures and hydrogenation loops all depend on controlling the gas around them. Sarvesh supplies trace and percent oxygen analysers, hazardous-area ACCURRA-Hz and INFINITY-Tx units, and dual-gas fermenter analysers, with calibration and alarm history for audit.
Pharma and chemical plants use ACCURRA-S for ppm and percent oxygen and for O2 and CO2 in fermenter off-gas, and ACCURRA-Hz or INFINITY-Tx in classified areas. Calibration and alarm history is stored in the analyser and protected by passwords.
What pharma, chemicals and petrochemicals plants need from gas analysis
- Trace oxygen from 0 to 1000 ppm for inert gas blanketing
- Hazardous-area oxygen analysers and a two-wire transmitter
- O2 and CO2 in one enclosure for fermenter off-gas
- Password protection and calibration history for audit trails
In regulated plants the analyser is both a safety device and a record. ACCURRA-S saves calibration, alarm and fault records, and password protection stops unauthorised changes to calibration and set-up, which supports the documentation your quality system asks for.
Many process areas are classified. We supply ACCURRA-Hz in an enclosure certified for Gas Group IIC, Zone 1 and 2, T6, and INFINITY-Tx as a loop-powered field transmitter.
Major applications in Pharma, chemicals and petrochemicals
These are the applications we are asked about most, not the full list. We add more regularly, and we engineer for bespoke applications too. If yours is not here, contact us.
Nitrogen blanketing and inerting
Blanketing keeps oxygen out of tanks that hold solvents or oxygen-sensitive product.
Read moreReactors, hydrogenation and polymerisation
Hydrogenation, polymerisation and sweetening units run under pressure with flammable feed, and a few ppm of oxygen can poison a catalyst or create an explosive mix.
Read moreClosed-loop dryers and spray dryers
Dryers that handle solvent-wet product run inert.
Read moreFermenter and bioreactor off-gas
The oxygen and carbon dioxide in a fermenter's exhaust show how the culture is growing.
Read morePyrolysis, gasification and syngas
Gasification and pyrolysis produce a gas of CO, hydrogen, methane and CO2 whose composition changes with feed and conditions.
Read moreAutoclaves
An oxygen reading on an autoclave confirms inerting and supports safety monitoring.
Read moreFlare-gas recovery oxygen ingress
Flare recovery can pull air into the gas header; oxygen monitoring protects downstream systems.
Read moreDust-collector, mill and silo inerting
Inerted dust systems are held below a set oxygen level.
Read moreSolvent-recovery and distillation columns under inert gas
Solvent vapour needs an oxygen reading in vent and blanket lines.

Do your analysers help with data integrity requirements?
They provide password-protected set-up and calibration, calibration and alarm history, and Modbus RTU output to your historian. Compliance of your system as a whole remains with you.
Which analyser for oxygen in nitrogen blanketing?
ACCURRA-S 3015 for ppm levels, 3030 or 3130 for percent, and ACCURRA-Hz or INFINITY-Tx in hazardous areas.
