Various industries depend on methane (CH4) analyzers. Applications that create CH4, that require CH4 as an input, or that can not tolerate the presence of CH4, can all benefit from a reliable CH4 monitoring system. Methane analyzers are ideal for:

Methane analyzers use IR methodology to measure methane gas. IR technology is ideal for detecting methane because the gas absorbs IR energy at known spectral bands. The technology provides rapid measurements in percent (%) ranges, and in some applications, parts per million (ppm) ranges.

CH4chemical name

Light rays from a beam source, initially in air, are incident on a material of different index of refraction (position is given in centimeters). You can change the curvature of the surface of the material as well as the index of refraction. Restart.

Nova Analytical offers several options for monitoring CH4 and other gases. Our gas analyzers are available in formats that can offer portability, accuracy, continuous operation, and other features.

Nova Analytical relies on infrared (IR) technology to measure methane. Our methane analyzers may be applied to various applications requiring continuous or spot-check measurements, with optional features to handle different sample pressures or temperatures. Understanding the various characteristics of methane analyzers, and some of the ideal applications for methane gas analysis can help you determine what solution is best suited for your needs.

Methane (CH4) is an invisible and odorless gas that is the primary component of natural gas. Natural methane is found beneath the ocean floor and underground. It is also present at 1,800 parts per billion (ppb) in the earth’s atmosphere. Methane is a byproduct of various industrial processes and may be emitted into the atmosphere if it is not treated or combusted (flared). Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that can persist in the atmosphere. It is important to reduce methane emissions and monitor its atmospheric levels. It may also be important to measure CH4 in some industrial processes for quality or productivity reasons.
