Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the search for a device capable of measuring the percentage of CO2 in natural gas, specifically targeting a concentration of about 5% with a resolution down to 0.1%. The context includes real-time measurement requirements at approximately 40 bar and 30 degrees Celsius.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Experimental/applied

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about a suitable device for measuring CO2 in natural gas in real time.
  • Another participant suggests using a gas chromatograph as a potential solution.
  • A different participant provides links to a company that offers gas sensors, possibly relevant to the inquiry.
  • One participant notes that they already have a gas chromatograph but finds its response time inadequate for detecting rapid changes in CO2 levels.
  • A participant expresses gratitude and indicates they will follow up with the suggested company.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the best device for the measurement, and multiple approaches are proposed without resolving which is most effective.

Does anyone know of a device that will measure the percentage of CO2 (about 5% and resolution down to 0.1%) in natural gas, in real time, the gas is at approx 40 bar and 30 Deg C.
Thank you

No, we have a gas chromatograph but the response is too slow, I'm trying to catch a rise in CO2 that is faster then the chromatograph will see.
 
Thanks Ivan I'll contact them.
