Online Process Analysers: Calibration and Maintenance

Online analysers for gas composition, moisture, oxygen and other process variables keep petrochemical, gas and water plants running safely between laboratory checks, but poor calibration and neglected maintenance quietly erode their reliability. This course covers analyser technology, calibration gas and standard handling, validation against laboratory methods, and maintenance routines that keep online systems trustworthy for process and custody transfer decisions.

What you will be able to do

  • Describe the main technologies used in online process analysers across petrochemical and water plants.
  • Plan calibration schedules using certified gases and reference standards.
  • Perform calibration and validation checks against laboratory reference methods.
  • Diagnose drift, fouling and sensor degradation in online analyser systems.
  • Apply preventive maintenance routines that reduce unplanned analyser downtime.
  • Document calibration and maintenance records to support custody transfer and compliance audits.
