Obtain the Methane Number for your Liquified Gas in Real Time
- Mestrelab Research SL is a software company based in Spain specialising in the processing and analysis of analytical data to deliver Real Time, Point of Need information
- In a consortium with Naturgy, Reganosa and Universidad de A Coruna, as part of the LNG III, EMPIR initiative, we have developed an at line solution for the determination of Service Methane Number, critical to Liquified Gas Engine performance optimisation
- Our solution can deliver Real Time Service Methane Number information in full automation, allowing validation and certification at the fuelling point
FTIR method is the first “cost-effective” measurement with empirical validation for MN determination in industrial applications
Why is the methane number so important?
- Gas engines business is in expansion and all fuels need to be reliable
- LNG and Natural Gas are not standard mixtures
- Methane number is directly correlated with the performance and even with the warranty of the engine
- Accurate and reliable measurement is crucial
