Abstract:
A sample handling system receives a downhole sample. The sample handle system conditions the sample using a separator and filters to allow discharge of unwanted liquids and particulates prior to flowing the sample to one or more analyzers. Separating the moisture and particulates from the sample improves the operation of the components of the sample handling system, for example, by eliminating unwanted condensate or moisture. A coalescing filter, for example, may protect a proportional valve by removing unwanted particulates and liquids from the sample. Additionally, main components of the sample handling system are accessible from a front of a housing to allow for ease of repair and replacement.
