Interceptor Gas Sampling System

The Parker Interceptor™ Gas Sampling System is a highly specialized solution designed exclusively for natural gas sampling. It ensures precise, representative samples of natural gas, which are critical for accurate measurement of gas quality. This system plays a key role in the natural gas industry, particularly for custody transfer and billing, where even the slightest deviation in gas composition or BTU (British Thermal Unit) can result in significant financial discrepancies.

Offering both time-based and flow-based composite sampling, the Interceptor Gas Sampling System is the ideal choice for natural gas pipelines, providing a true representative average of gas composition over a given sampling period. This capability ensures the highest levels of accuracy in natural gas measurement, which is crucial for maintaining operational efficiency and contractual compliance.

The Parker Interceptor™ Gas Sampling System is engineered with advanced capabilities to meet the specific demands of natural gas sampling. One of its standout features is the ability to perform both time-based and flow-proportional composite sampling, ensuring accurate and representative gas samples throughout the entire collection period. This system offers flexibility, with a wide pressure range that accommodates inlet pressures from -10" Hg (vacuum) to 2,200 PSI, making it suitable for a variety of pipeline conditions. Additionally, the Interceptor is a cost-effective solution compared to traditional gas chromatographs, offering precise gas quality measurements at a fraction of the cost.

Built to withstand the harsh environments of natural gas operations, the system is constructed from hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, which provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance. Safety and compliance are also top priorities, as the Interceptor meets NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 standards and is CSA-approved for use in hazardous locations. This ensures reliable, safe operation even in challenging conditions, making it a trusted choice for natural gas sampling in pipelines and custody transfer points.

Applications of the Interceptor Gas Sampling System

The Interceptor Gas Sampling System is engineered solely for use in the natural gas industry, focusing on the accurate collection of gas samples at various points in the supply chain. Its primary use case is in natural gas pipelines, where monitoring gas composition and quality is vital for proper billing and custody transfer. Below are the system’s core applications in natural gas operations:

Natural Gas Pipelines:

The Interceptor is critical for collecting representative gas samples, ensuring accurate analysis of gas composition at various points along the pipeline. It allows companies to measure gas quality accurately, supporting fair and transparent billing between suppliers and customers.

Elimination of inaccuracies in natural gas sampling:

Accurate natural gas sampling is critical for determining gas composition and BTU content, which directly impacts the value of the gas being transported and sold. The Interceptor Gas Sampling System eliminates the inaccuracies that can arise from traditional spot sampling methods, providing a reliable and cost-effective alternative. This system ensures that the natural gas sample remains uncontaminated and representative, allowing for accurate billing and compliance with industry standards.
