EGC-100

Ethane Gas Analyser in Natural Gas, custom-designed for Gas Distribution Companies and Industry

The EGC-100 Ethane Detector distinguishes between biogas (marsh gas) and natural gas using gas chromatographic (GC) separation principle and sensor technology. Thus, it helps prevent unnecessary excavation works in natural gas leak detection operations, saving time and resources. Ethane gas is present in natural gas and absent in biogas (marsh gas). Therefore, ethane gas detection is vital in natural gas leak survey operations. The most effective method for this procedure is to detect the ethane gas within the gas mass. The ECG-100 is an ideal instrument developed for this purpose.
