OPTA-PERIPH's main activity is related to Near Infra-red Spectrum Monitoring and Physical Property Prediction mainly applied  to gasoline (RON; MON; RVP: Distillation; Bezene; Aromatics; Olefins) and diesel-oil blenders . OPTA-PERIPH is in position to supply complete analyser turn-key system configuration dedicated to the plant process control technology:

- On line AS 300 FTIR full automatic analyser system

- At line AS 200 semi-automatic analyser system

- Ex line Feed-Back Reconciliation Mechanism analyser system

- Off line FTIR lab. analyser.

with all ancillaries and systems for sampling , conditioning and calibrating the sample to be analysed . OPTA-PERIPH also expressly developed a range of unique ancillaries involving:

- "CENTRIFILTER": sample particles and water contaminants purifier based on centrifuge separation. This is a revolution in analyser sampling offering performances beyond any type of conventional filter or coalescer.

"SPC" refinery analysers certification floating piston cylinder for hydrocarbon liquid standards with specific application on Ultra Low Sulfur , RVP, Distillation and NIR Chemometric analysis.

A range of  samplers are produced as well by OPTA-PERIPH including:

-Oil manual spot sampling system (oil manual sampler) according to ISO 3170 for refinery liquid products or according to ISO 10 715 for Natural Gas industries (LPG and LNG).

-Oil Automatic Sampling system (oil autosampler) dedicated to the refinery upstream market (Crude-oil automatic sampling system (crude autosampler)) or to refinery gasoline/diesel-oil blending tank quality tracking .

- Bitumen Automatic Sampling system (bitumen autosampler) associated to Penetration Index and Softening Point  analyser

- Liquefied Gas (LNG) ) probe & vaporizer for chromatograph / calorimeter / spot or automatic sampling according to the latest requirements of ISO 8943 

-Liquefied Gas (LNG) Automatic Sampling system (LNG autosampler) according to the latest requirements of ISO 8943

- Natural Gas (LPG) automatic sampling system (LPG autosampler) according to  ISO 10 715.

In addition , OPTA-PERIPH developed a range of Oil in Water monitors for oil tank dewatering  autocontrol with a specific application on desalter processing.

A range of Electrolytic Gas Moisture Monitors with P2O5 sensors dedicated to pure gases with special applications for moisture measurement in chlorine gas or moisture calibration system (H2O generator) complete the product line.

The other part of OPTA-PERIPH's activity  is related to the 94/09/CE ATEX safety compliance of electrical enclosures in explosive area and inert gas blanketing tanks , centrifuges and reactors for petrochemical, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

On purpose , OPTA-PERIPH developed Purge and Pressurization Monitors as well as blanketing control valves ATEX CE Type certified and the OPTA-PERIPH production quality system has  been certified .

OPTA-PERIPH has additionally developed a customised  activity to offer ATEX certification for complete user turn-key systems mainly ATEX certified Air Conditioner (HVAC) and water chillers for zone 1 and 2.
