Abstract

Analysis of the composition of polyphase gas or liquid mixtures circulated continuously within pipe systems is carried out by withdrawing samples from primary circulation loops at regular intervals and passing them into a mass spectrometer connected to a computer for recording the results of analysis and controlling chemical processes which yield the different mixtures as effluents. Withdrawal and analysis of samples are performed in real time without any manual operation in order to permit adjustments of the unit in which the mixtures under analysis are circulated.
