LNG is a mixed hydrocarbon-based gas composed mainly of methane, but there is a difference
in the boiling point of each component, and the component ratio varies greatly with the
vaporization that results from heat input. Since existing gas monitors are designed for single
components, such as methane, butane, or gases with a known component ratio, accurate
measurements cannot be obtained if the component ratio changes.
We have developed the world's first gas monitor that enables measurements even when the
LNG component ratio changes over time utilizing optical interference ratio and heat conductivity
to calculate the lower explosion limit concentration.
