During the next five
years, Siemens Industry Automation Division will be delivering process gas
chromatographs to Shell through a recently signed Enterprise Framework
Agreement that covers Shell companies, subsidiaries and joint ventures across
the globe.
During the term of the
agreement, Siemens will supply gas chromatographs together with related systems
such as analysis cabinets and shelters, much of which will be manufactured by
Siemens in the U. S. Additionally,
Siemens will provide front-end engineering and after-sales servicing. Siemens manufactures the base hardware of
their gas chromatographs in Bartlesville, Okla.
The base hardware of the gas chromatograph is tailored to each
application in their chromatography labs located in Oklahoma, Germany and
Singapore.
Siemens process gas
chromatographs are used in all branches of fine chemicals, refining and
hydrocarbon processing industries, and perform chemical composition analysis of
gases and liquids that are present in all phases of production.
