Thanks for the reply. Heat is ok, Its more the radiation heat from the flame I'm trying to avoid. I'm not to concerned about producing other specific products, I just want to eliminate an explosive atmosphere, and burning the methane is not practical within the confines of the work area.
I would like to convert methane to carbon dioxide without using combustion. The aim is to generate as little heat through the process as possible. Any ideas how this might be achieved would be appreciated.
Cheers
