In addition, a methane leak in enclosed spaces can cause asphyxiation. Early detection of methane leaks is essential to prevent these dangers. Normally, methane gas is colourless and odourless, which is why an odoriser is often added to commercial applications. Its use is varied, within thermal power plants it is used as a fuel, in the production of hydrogen, ammonia or methanol it is a raw material and can also be used as a vehicle fuel. It has various applications, from agriculture to industry to domestic use.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11d41b9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"11d41b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.sensitron.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DSC04084.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b5ee33 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2b5ee33\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Methane Gas Detection Technologies<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f87934 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9f87934\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Methane gas can be detected using two different technologies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Catalytic<\/li>\n<li>Infrared<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Inside the catalytic sensor, a heated filament is used that catalyses the combustion of flammable gases. This process increases the temperature of the filament and changes its electrical resistance, enabling the correct detection of not only methane, but also other gases such as propane or hydrogen. The infrared sensor, on the other hand, works through the absorption of infrared light by gas molecules; each gas, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) or other specific gases have a characteristic absorption that can be identified.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to learn more about how the different technologies work, you can read the dedicated article at this <a
