Ethan-Box
Natural gas or marsh gas? - Precisely identifiable!


• portable analysing box for the distinguishing natural gas and biological gases (e. g. fermentation gas, marsh gas)
• natural gases contain in contrast to marsh gas low shares of ethane (typical values: 0,3 ... 8,0 Vol.%)
• useable in combination with an existing combination measuring instrument EX-TEC® SR 5, EX-TEC® SR 6, VARIOTEC® 8, VARIOTEC® 8-EX or VARIOTEC® 9-EX and search probe
• the sample to be examined is pushed through a cromatographic separating column inside the ETHAN-BOX by the carrier gas synthetic air where it is separated into its
components
• the following components are shown one after the other in the displays of the combination measuring instrument and are retrievable after measuring:
o Total of hydrocarbon CH
o Shares of methane CH4
o Shares of ethane C2H6
o Shares of propane C3H8
• easy identification by ethane analysis, if the gas leak is caused by a leak of the gas utility or marsh gas
• avoid wasted excavations
• possibility of ethane analysis within the range of approx. 1 ... 100 Vol.% gas inside the probe hole
• time saving with on the spot analysis during network survey
• time intensive analysis can lapse
• no power supply required
• delivery completely with 1-litre-carrier gas can synthetic air
