IMA - Humidity and Moisture Measurement Equipment

Established in 1991, IMA are specialists in humidity and moisture measurement. IMA have rapidly become known as experts in hygrometry, moisture, watercut, oil in water and process gas analysis systems.

HYGROMETERS, DEWPOINT METERS, HUMIDITY ANALYSERS AND MOISTURE-IN-SOLIDS ANALYSERS

IMA supply general hygrometers, trace dewpoint meters, relative humidity analysers, and moisture in solids analysers to every corner of industry. For the oil industry we offer the Delta C watercut analyser, AKA Water In Oil (WIO) analyser. For produced water discharge IMA have a UV-fluorescence oil in water analyser.

TUNABLE DIODE LASER ANALYSERS

With the advent of Tunable Diode Laser (TDL) analysers, we have a very strong range of carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) measurement systems. We can measure a wide range of species, including carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3), nitric acid (NO), hydrochloric acid (HCl), ethylene oxide (ETO), hydrofluoric acid (HF), methane (CH4), oxygen (O2) and many more. IMA have a comprehensive range of analysers for just about any application.

NATURAL GAS PROCESSION ANALYSERS

IMA’s natural gas procession analysers include:

• SS2000 H2S analyser
• SS500 mid-sensitivity moisture analyser
• SS1000 portable gas analyser
• SS2100 LNG analyser for H2O and CO2
• SS2100 SS gas analyser
• SS3000 dual gas analyser

THE FL200 WATER ANALYSER

Using UV fluorescence, and a highly sensitive photomultiplier, the FL200 can accurately measure PPB levels of aromatic hydrocarbons in effluent water. When calibrated using crude oil a very good correlation can be made, giving an output in total hydrocarbons.

Made with few, yet robust, moving parts the system is designed to work continuously without any routine maintenance, except for replacement of the cleaning solution on a monthly basis. The fully automated cleaning system ensures there is no build up of contamination, thus preventing errors and ensuring a high degree of reliability.

The FL200 water analyser offers:

• Accurate results
• Range 0 - 10 PPM or 0 - 100 PPM oil in water
• Built in data logger
• Analogue and digital communications
• ATEX hazardous area certified

DIGITAL PANEL METERS

The IMA range of breeze display products includes the following digital panel meter models:

• Breeze 10
• Breeze 20
• Breeze 30
• Breeze 40

WATER IN OIL ANALYSERS

IMA supplies the Delta C ‘water cut' analysers to give precise measurement of water in oil between 0.05% to 40%. The DC 1500 is a by-pass type unit; the DC 3500 is an alternative where direct insertion is required.

The Delta C analysers work on the principle that the higher the water cut the greater the capacitance. The microprocessor based electronics incorporate sophisticated algorithms to compensate for temperature and density variations which facilitate high-resolution and stable results.

WATER-IN-OIL DETECTION SYSTEM

The HydroQuest BB4 is designed to be an economic solution for detecting water in an oil system. Often thousands of pounds of damage and many man-hours can be lost because a single seal has failed, or a heat exchanger has ruptured.

With the advent of the HydroQuest BB4, as soon as free water rises above a pre-determined, adjustable level a relay indicates a fault which can in turn be used to drive an alarm or trip the system. The BB4 can detect a percentage as low as 0.5% of water in oil.

HUMIDITY ANALYSERS

The HygroFlex series are the latest generation of humidity transmitters based on digital technology. The HygroFlex analysers are extremely flexible, offering integration through analogue outputs or digital signals. Advanced features such as pressure and temperature compensation for dewpoint and relative humidity are user programmable.
