EnCal 3000 proChain

The EnCal 3000 proChain is an explosion safe online gas chromatograph designed for natural gas applications where accurate heating value and gas composition measurement are mission critical. Built on Honeywell’s proprietary MEMS technology, EnCal 3000 proChain delivers ultralow helium consumption, high reliability, and long-term operational savings—making it an ideal solution for custody transfer, transmission and distribution networks, and industrial energy users.

Why EnCal 3000 proChain?
Lowest Helium Consumption in Its Class
EnCal 3000 proChain reduces helium usage through a patented MEMS-based measuring design with minimized internal volume. This helps lower ongoing operating costs and reduces the need for frequent helium bottle replacements.

Designed for Reliability and Low Maintenance
With only one moving part, EnCal 3000 proChain minimizes wear and maintenance requirements. The robust design supports long service intervals, fewer site visits, and extended replacement cycles—helping operators to lower total cost of ownership and improve uptime.

Cybersecure by Design
Developed in accordance with Honeywell’s secure development lifecycle, EnCal 3000 proChain provides strong cybersecurity features to protect measurement integrity and operational data. Secure communications and controlled configuration help address increasing cybersecurity requirements in gas metering infrastructures.
