  • FUEL GAS ANALYSIS

    Fuel gas monitoring is the process of measuring and analyzing the composition and quality of fuel gas used in industrial processes. Fuel gas is commonly used in a variety of applications, such as furnaces, boilers, and turbines. Fuel gas monitoring is important because it helps ensure that the fuel gas being used is of the appropriate quality and composition for the intended application.  This involves the use of gas analyzers that measure the concentrations of various gases in the fuel gas, including methane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and other hydrocarbons.  Fuel gas monitoring is important for several reasons, including:

    • Safety: Monitoring fuel gas ensures that it is not contaminated with harmful gases, which could create hazardous conditions during combustion or release toxic emissions.
    • Efficiency: The quality and composition of fuel gas can impact the efficiency of industrial processes. Monitoring helps to ensure that the fuel gas is of the appropriate quality and composition to achieve optimal performance.
    • Regulatory compliance: Regulations often mandate the monitoring of fuel gas to ensure that it meets specific quality and composition standards.
    • Cost savings: Monitoring fuel gas can help identify opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce waste, which can result in cost savings for industrial facilities.
