ATEX-Certified G10E TDLAS Methane and Ethane Leak Detector for Gas Inspection

G10E Portable Laser Methane and Ethane Detector

The G10E is a portable laser gas detection system designed for real-time methane and ethane analysis in natural gas inspection and industrial monitoring applications. Combining Tunable Diode Laser Spectroscopy (TDLAS) with selective gas detection, it helps inspection teams evaluate gas composition and investigate suspected natural gas leaks more effectively.

By analyzing methane and ethane together, the G10E provides additional information for assessing the possible origin of a gas release. This capability supports the distinction between natural gas-related leaks and other methane sources during field investigations.

Selective Laser Detection for Gas Identification

The G10E uses laser absorption technology to identify target gases based on their characteristic optical absorption properties. Its selective detection approach enables methane and ethane to be analyzed individually, providing useful gas composition information for leak investigation.

Unlike detection methods that measure only total gas concentration, combined methane and ethane analysis can help operators assess whether a suspected emission may be associated with natural gas infrastructure. Final identification should take into account measurement conditions, background sources, and site-specific gas composition.

Real-Time Analysis for Efficient Inspections

Designed for field use, the G10E supports real-time gas analysis, allowing operators to review measurement results during inspections and respond promptly to changing conditions. Its portable design is suitable for routine surveys, suspected leak investigations, and gas composition assessments across different working environments.

The instrument helps streamline inspection workflows by bringing gas analysis directly to the inspection site and supporting informed decisions about follow-up testing.

ATEX-Certified Design for Hazardous Environments

The G10E is presented as an ATEX-certified gas detection instrument for applications where explosion protection is an important equipment selection consideration. Its intended use includes natural gas infrastructure and industrial environments where potentially hazardous atmospheres may be encountered.

Before deployment, users should verify the applicable ATEX marking, certification scope, and operating conditions against the requirements of the intended site.

Applications Across Natural Gas and Industrial Facilities

Natural Gas Pipeline Inspection

Analyze methane and ethane to support suspected natural gas leak investigations along transmission and distribution pipelines, pipeline connections, and related infrastructure.

Gas Storage and Processing Facilities

Monitor gas composition around storage installations, processing equipment, and associated facilities to help investigate potential leaks.

Industrial Leak Investigation

Support gas leak assessments in refineries, chemical plants, and other industrial locations where gas identification is required.

Environmental Monitoring

Assist with methane and ethane emission assessments at selected monitoring sites, including facilities where gas source identification is important.

Field Gas Analysis
