Liquid carry over from the pipeline into the sample conditioning system should be prevented when sampling natural gas as it can directly impact the accuracy of the compositional analysis and also damage the analyzer. Genie Probes™ provide a means to insert Genie Membrane Technology™ directly into a pipeline for the purpose of separating unwanted liquid and particulate from the gas sample at flowing temperature and pressure conditions, in compliance with industry standards.

The GP2™ probe consists of a housing and a membrane tip probe. The housing is installed in a depressurized pipeline through a vertically mounted thread-o-let or flange, and contains a “foot valve” in its lower end. Inserting the probe into the housing opens the “foot valve”, allowing pipeline gas to flow freely through the membrane. Retracting the probe from the housing closes the foot valve, making it possible to perform probe maintenance without depressurizing the pipeline. This insertion/retraction method is considerably less expensive and complex than pneumatic or hydraulic methods.

The GPSD™ is designed specifically for small diameter 2” or 3” pipelines. The GPSD™ uses proven Genie® Membrane Technology™ to extract a representative gas sample and provide a safety net for protecting gas analyzers against liquid damage. This model’s housing is designed to install in a depressurized line. Once installed, the housing includes a foot valve in its base, so the probe can be inserted or retracted with a pressurized line or vessel. The GPSD™ replaces the threaded foot valve (-T) housing option of the GPR™.

The Model 120 is ideal for low flow applications and can withstand high pressure in the housing. This high pressure model has a 1” cross sectional membrane area, the same as the original Genie® Model 101, and it is ideal for the removal of relatively small amounts of liquid present on a continuous basis; it is also perfect for protecting gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers, O2 analyzers, moisture analyzers, and other analyzers with relatively small flow requirements. Please note that special fittings may be ordered, such as a Universal Assembly™. Additional information such as FAQs is available.

The Model 123 is ideal for applications requiring higher flow rates or larger quantities of liquid than the Genie® Supreme Model 120 can withstand. It offers a 2” diameter membrane, the same membrane cross sectional area as the original Genie® Model 130 or Genie® Model 130M, and is ideal for removing continuous liquid flow from gas samples. It is also perfect for protecting components such as on-line analyzers, gas chromatographs, or mass spectrometers. Additional information such as FAQs is available.

The Model 755™ is an adjustable length, membrane tip probe regulator designed to sample transmission quality natural gas. The pressure regulator is built into the probe immediately downstream of the membrane, inside of the pipeline. Heat is transferred from the flowing pipeline gas to the regulator to prevent excessive JouleThomson cooling, helping to prevent condensation during pressure letdown.

The Avenger™ 30 Series sample filters are easy to install and maintain, especially in heated, densely populated cabinets. The uniquely designed filter housing allows service to the filter element/membrane by simply removing the bowl without disassembly of the fittings. The Avenger™ Model 38M is the same size as the Model 38, and contains Genie Membrane Technology™. The Liquid Block™ is on option for this model. When compared to the Models 33 and 33M, the Model 38M is smaller in size and internal volume making it better suited for lower flow applications.

The Avenger™ 91 Coalescing and Particulate Filters provide the utmost in flexibility for your coalescing and particulate filtration needs. The conventional 3-port model is a direct replacement for competitive vertically mounted sample filters. However, the 5-port model, with its two different porting configurations allows for greater mounting and application flexibility. These filters were specifically designed for analyzer sample conditioning applications by analyzer sample conditioning specialists.

The Avenger™ Model 33 is the same size as the Model 33M. Unlike the Model 33M, the Model 33 does not include Genie Membrane Technology™ or Liquid Block™. If either of these features are desired, the Model 33M should be selected. When compared to the Models 38 and 38M, the Model 33 is larger in size and internal volume, making it better suited for applications requiring higher flow rates or containing larger amounts of contaminants than the Models 38 and 38M can handle. In addition to gas sampling applications, the Model 33 can also be used as a particulate filter in liquid sampling applications.

When compared to the Models 38 and 38M, the Model 33M is larger in size and internal volume, making it better suited for applications requiring higher flow rates or containing larger amounts of contaminants than the Models 38 and 38M can handle.

The Tornado™ Model 602 is a continuously self-cleaning filter that protects analyzers from particulate in liquid samples. In normal operation, components of interest flow through the Tornado’s element to the analyzer. Contaminants are shed by the element and removed through the Bypass port. The G.U.T.S.™ (Genie® Ultimate Thermoplastic Seal) gasket is an excellent alternative to expensive elastomers. It withstands radical temperature cycles without leaks due to its ability to maintain a bubble-tight seal even when thermocycled repeatedly from 0-300ºF. The multi-layer filter media consists of the support screen and flow screen. This results in more efficiency and easier installation and handling. The elements are self-cleaned by the tornadic flow of sample across them. The self-cleaning action is best when the bypass flow rate is maximized, the outlet flow rate minimized, and variations in element rating are tried.

The Model GHR™ is a single-stage heated pressure regulator designed specifically for use in gas analytical systems. The GHR™ prevents condensation of the sample gas from occurring as a result of Joule-Thomson (JT) cooling during the pressure reduction process of high pressure and high dew point gases or due to low operating or ambient temperature conditions.

The GHR™ is designed with a long, spiral flow path including pre and post regulation heat exchangers that provide efficient heat transfer which preserves sample integrity. The first heat exchanger preheats the gas sample above its dew point temperature; preventing condensation during pressure reduction. The second heat exchanger warms the gas sample after pressure reduction; preventing condensation as the gas enters the sample transport system.
