Hello ResearchGate Community,

I am currently searching for a methane sensor with specific capabilities and would greatly appreciate any recommendations or insights from this knowledgeable community.

Requirements:

Application Context: We are working with Natural Gas-Fired Reciprocating Compressors and need to measure methane concentration in line with the exhaust pipe.

Measurement Range: The sensor must be capable of measuring methane concentrations up to 15,000 ppm at 191 Celsius (~375 F). Pressure is less than 20 psi.

Accuracy: +/- 5%

Output: 4-20 mA (preferred) or CANOpen

Hazardous Location: C1D1 or C1D2

Any insights into the operational challenges of hogh temperature methane sensors would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!

Best regards,

Carlos Pena
