When it comes to precision gas analysis, ZEGAZ Instruments sets the industry standard with its cutting-edge technology. Since its foundation in 2009, the company has grown into a global leader in highly accurate moisture and hydrocarbon dew point analyzers, ensuring safety and efficiency in the energy sector. ZEGAZ established its presence in Frederick County in 2013, leveraging the region’s strong business environment and access to specialized industry talent.
A Legacy of Precision: The DewPoint Analyzer
ZEGAZ Instruments leads the industry with its DewPoint Analyzer, a trusted solution for measuring moisture content and hydrocarbon dew points in natural gas. This highly precise device has been widely adopted by major energy companies across six continents, ensuring the integrity of gas pipelines and preventing costly shutdowns due to moisture contamination.
ZEGAZ’s proprietary technology sets a new benchmark for accuracy in gas analysis, making the DewPoint Analyzer the preferred choice for critical gas quality monitoring.
While this innovation propelled ZEGAZ forward, the company identified another significant need in the industry—a way to detect and automatically divert liquid contamination before it causes damage. This insight led to the development of Phase Alarm.
Introducing Phase Alarm: A Game-Changer in Gas Analysis
ZEGAZ’s latest product, Phase Alarm, builds upon the technology of the DewPoint Analyzer while adding an automatic detection and diversion
system for liquid intrusion.
Gas facilities face significant risks when even trace amounts of liquid enter the pipeline. Phase Alarm eliminates this issue by detecting free liquids at parts-per-million (ppm) levels, triggering a response to redirect contaminated flow and prevent damage to expensive equipment.
This groundbreaking innovation is the first of its kind and will be a major game-changer for industries reliant on gas infrastructure including pipelines, refineries, and major energy facilities worldwide.
A Global Reach with Local Roots
With customers in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and South America, ZEGAZ Instruments continues to expand its international footprint. The company is actively exploring new markets including the Middle East and former Soviet countries, while considering a potential southwest European distribution center to better serve its global clients.
As ZEGAZ scales, it remains committed to its Frederick County operations, where it benefits from a business-friendly environment and access to top-tier industry talent.
One of Frederick’s Top 50 Manufactures
ZEGAZ Instruments was recently named as one of Frederick’s Top 50 Manufacturers by the Frederick County Office of Economic Development. This distinct honor recognizes ZEGAZ’s exemplary work as one of the county’s top manufacturing companies and further distinguishes them as a leader in their industry. Frederick County is proud to be home to ZEGAZ Instruments and to see its growth and innovation positively impact the community.
Looking Ahead
ZEGAZ Instruments continues to push the boundaries of gas analysis technology, ensuring that energy companies worldwide can operate with greater safety, efficiency, and precision. As the Phase Alarm system rolls out, it promises to revolutionize the industry’s approach to gas quality monitoring and contamination prevention.
