Methane, the simplest organic matter, is widely distributed in nature and is the main component of natural gas, biogas, and pit gas.
Methane is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CH4. It is a group-14 hydride and the simplest alkane, and is the main constituent of natural gas. The relative abundance of methane on Earth makes it an attractive fuel, although capturing and storing it poses challenges due to its gaseous state under normal conditions for temperature and pressure.
Naturally occurring methane is found both below ground and under the seafloor, and is formed by both geological and biological processes. The largest reservoir of methane is under the seafloor in the form of methane clathrates. When methane reaches the surface and the atmosphere, it is known as atmospheric methane. The Earth’s atmospheric methane concentration has increased by about 150% since 1750.
CH4 Specialty Gas serves as an efficient heating fuel, providing reliable warmth for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
It powers vehicles in the form of compressed natural gas (CNG), offering a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to traditional gasoline or diesel.
CH4 Specialty Gas is utilized in flame photometers to produce precise and consistent flames for analytical purposes in laboratories and research facilities.
It is employed to test the efficiency of gas burners, ensuring optimal performance and energy savings in various heating and combustion systems.
CH4 Specialty Gas acts as a crucial component in calibration gas mixtures tailored for the oil and gas industry, ensuring accurate measurement and monitoring of equipment and processes.
