Abstract
An apparatus and method for monitoring the product quality of chlorine in which a sample stream of chlorine is taken from a chlorine stream and a portion of the sample stream is passed to one of three different analyzers for detection of various contaminants. A common data acquisition network receives data from each analyzer for integration and output. The analyzers include a bromine in chlorine analyzer, a non-condensable gas in chlorine analyzer, and a halocarbon in chlorine analyzer.
Claims4
A method for measuring the purity chlorine comprising:
- a. taking a sample stream of chlorine from a chlorine source,
- b. passing a discrete first, second and third portion of the sample stream to a first bromine analyzer, a second non-condensable gas analyzer and a third halocarbon detector respectively wherein, each of the first second and third detectors perform the designated detection in the chlorine environment and each detector generating a first, second and third signal in response to the respective sample streams,
- c. collecting the first, second and third signals in a data acquisition network for integrating and correlating the signal to measure the purity of the chlorine.
