Abstract: Major methane (CH4) gas sensing technologies for the application in a combustion environment are reviewed with many theoretical and practical aspects, as well as basic installation and operation details. A comprehensive CH4 gas sensing technologies review is supported with the latest development trends. Performance and application options for methane measurements in the process using calorimetric, mixed potential electrochemical CH4 sensor, semiconductor detector and tunable diode (TD) laser and quantum cascade (QC) laser spectroscopy are discussed for the possible application in power generation, chemical production, heating, process control, safety, and quality. Special attention is given to the technology application limits and analyzer’s system requirements.

 

Keywords: Combustion analysis, Flue gas, Methane gas sensing, Calorimetric catalytic CH4 sensor, Mixed potential CH4 sensor, Semiconductor CH4 detector, TDLS, QCLS.
