Analysers and Instruments Shelters

 

An Analyser shelter is a specialized enclosure designed to house process analysers and associated equipment, protecting them from harsh environmental conditions, ensuring safe operation, and maintaining optimal performance. These shelters are commonly used in industries such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, power plants, and refineries.

Key Features of Analyzer Shelters

  • Environmental Protection – Shields analysers from extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, and hazardous gases.
  • Explosion-Proof & Safety Compliance – Built to meet ATEX, IECEx, and other hazardous area classifications.
  • HVAC & Temperature Control – Includes air conditioning or purge systems to maintain stable conditions.
  • Gas Detection & Fire Suppression – Equipped with safety systems to detect gas leaks and fire risks.
  • Customized Layouts – Designed to fit multiple analysers, sample conditioning systems, and calibration setups.
  • Easy Access & Maintenance – Walk-in or modular designs allow for easy maintenance and upgrades.

Common Applications

  • Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS)
  • Process Gas Analysers (O₂, CO, H₂S, SO₂, CH₄, etc.)
  • Moisture & Hydrocarbon Dew Point Measurement
  • Gas Chromatographs & Mass Spectrometers

 

Common Types of Analyser shelters

Analyser Shelters are come in various types depending on the application, environment, and required level of protection.
Here are the main types:

◉ Large enclosures that allow personnel to enter for maintenance and operation.
◉ Suitable for multiple analysers and support equipment.
◉ Common in industries like oil & gas, petrochemicals, and power plants.
◉ Equipped with HVAC, fire suppression, and explosion-proof features if required.

 

◉ Compact enclosures for mounting analysers in a limited space.
◉ Used for single or small sets of analysers.
◉ Typically, wall-mounted or placed on a skid.
◉ Can be climate-controlled for temperature-sensitive instruments.

 

◉ Designed for direct installation in hazardous areas near process points.
◉ Weatherproof and explosion-proof designs available.
◉ Equipped with cooling/heating systems for extreme climates.
◉ Typically made of stainless steel or fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP).

 

◉ Mobile enclosures for temporary analysis needs.
◉ Used in commissioning, troubleshooting, or short-term monitoring applications.
◉ Can be skid-mounted or trailer-based for easy transportation.

 

◉ Designed for hazardous (classified) areas where explosive gases are present.
◉ Maintains internal pressure to prevent the ingress of flammable gases.
◉ Requires purge and pressurization systems (e.g., NFPA 496 or ATEX compliance).

 

◉ Used in non-hazardous environments where explosion-proofing is not needed.
◉ Still equipped with climate control for stable analyzer operation.
