Publisher's Synopsis
The use of sampling systems in on-line analysis has spread to almost all areas of the process industries and they are increasingly being used in safety, process efficiency and environmental control applications.;This book presents a comprehensive information resource on the concepts, design, manufacture, installation, operation, validation and maintenance of sampling and sample conditioning systems for use with process analyzers. It subdivides sampling in two ways: firstly in terms of the material sampled - gases, liquids, solids and combinations of these as heterogeneous materials; and secondly into sampling operations - sampling, sample conditioning and sample transport. This treatment provides a systematic approach to sampling, taking the reader through each stage of the process. At all times a range of practical illustrations are given along with the necessary theory. The importance of validation is emphasized throughout.;This new edition has been thoroughly updated to ensure that the information is readily accessible to a readership from a wide range of technical backgrounds interested in process analysis. It should appeal to process, chemical and instrumentation engineers, sampling system manufacturers, contractors, maintenance professionals, consultants, maintenance staff and lecturers.
