In practise, there will always be locations where gas is emanated, making a gas analysis necessary. It should be guaranteed from the analysis that the located gas is natural gas and not biogas (fermentation gas or marsh gas).

The differentiation occurs by the evidence of ethane (C2H6) in gas. Ethane is only in natural gas and therefore is suitable as a clear indicator for evidence. The SAFE EthanTest contains a chromatographic separating column in which the gas sample is broken down and is let out for a delayed period of time. The small-molecular methane is the first to reach the sensor and is displayed. Ethane then follows after a certain interval, if it is natural gas. This technology has already been on the market for years. However, the operation was rather complicated and only very experienced personnel could make clear statements. But that is the end of that!

The main focus of the development was on reliable analysis and completely trouble-free use. The user does not need to mix a sample of a suitable concentration nor evaluate the measurement results. Even measurement inaccuracy at low service temperatures could be eliminated by tempering and temperature monitoring of the chromatographic column.
