PGC1000. The most effective

solution for monitoring
HRVOCs in flare gas.

To achieve federally mandated Ozone requirements in Houston-Galveston area, the Texas

Commission on Environmental Quality has required the monitoring of HRVOC emissions from flares.
ABB’s PGC1000 is the most cost-effective solution for monitoring HRVOCs in flare gas. The PGC1000
offers low installation cost, low utility requirements, low maintenance and unmatched performance.

PGC1000
The most effective solution
for monitoring HRVOCs in
flare gas.

Low installation cost Unmatched performance

As with any large analyzer project, typically the analyzers
only make up 20-40% of the total cost of the project.
The rest of the cost is eaten up by environmental
shelters, sample transport lines, etc. This can be
magnified with HRVOC applications because typically
flares are located in a remote area of the plant.
The PGC1000 drastically reduces installation costs.
First, it does not require an environmental shelter.
Secondly, being a Class1, Div 1 device, it can be
located much closer to the sample point, eliminating
the need for long, expensive sample runs.
Low utility requirements
The PGC1000 does not require instrument air. The
only utility gas required, is the carrier gas, Helium.
Typical consumption for the HRVOC application is 6
months per bottle.
Low maintenance and installation costs are fine,
but who wants to give up precision and accuracy
when dealing with regulatory agencies. With the
PGC1000 you don’t have to. The PGC1000 utilizes
the same hardware as the NGC 8206. The analyzer
which set a new standard for natural gas custody
transfer measurement. As with the NGC 8206, the
PGC1000 offers:
• Unmatched Valve Performance – The GC valve
contains no metal moving parts, this equates
to millions of cycles in between failures.
• Unmatched Detector Performance – ABB sets the
standard in TCD performance, in terms of both
noise and sensitivity. ABB hold several patents on
our detector technology and more are pending.

Low maintenance
When dealing with regulatory agencies reporting
requirements, downtime is critical. The PGC1000
utilizes a modular, field proven, design.

All replaceable parts are available as easy to replace

modules. All analytical modules are fully tested and
characterized at the factory. Setup has become as
easy as clicking a mouse. With the modular design
of the PGC1000 downtime has been reduced to hours

instead of days.
