• PGC - Portable Gas Chromatograph

The Portable Gas Chromatograph from Schütz Messtechnik is an unprecedented solution for differentiating between natural gas, marsh gas and propane. It is designed for uncomplicated ethane detection on site. No tracer gas nor a second gas measurement device are required for use.

An immediate printout of the measurement results allows complete documentation and comparison. With the LCD display and the directly visible measured values, operation without a printer is also possible.

Following the simplicity of use, the gas chromatograph is also designed to be simply portable. The PGC is light, and rugged, making it very easy to carry on site.

Functional with the built-in battery, directly from the car-cigarette lighter or with 230V power supply. With all necessary parts. Sample bag, hand pump, thermal printer, 12V automotive connection cable.

Ethane is a component of natural gas; evidence of this gas is also evidence of natural gas. A lengthy gas analysis is normally required to prove beyond any doubt that the measured gas concentration is actually natural gas and not marsh gas. Due to gas sampling on site which is later to be measured in a laboratory, the traditional process is difficult and time consuming. These steps are completely eliminated with the Portable Gas Chromatograph. Measurement and sampling directly on site is easily possible - no further gas measuring device is required.


EL LMG-05, basic set offers:

● Automatic measurement sequence

● Independent sampling from gas collection pipe, bladder or borehole probe

● Printout of the measurement data

● Storage of the Measurements

● From a few ppm to 100 vol.% Natural gas

● Propane detection possible

● No additional measuring device necessary
