The VARIOTEC EGA ethane gas analyzer is a perfect instrument for determining whether a gas leak is from a natural gas pipeline or simply a naturally occurring biogas (i.e., swamp or marsh gas). This information can prevent an expensive excavation from occurring. The VARIOTEC EGA can quickly and easily confirm the origin of the gas leakage.

• The VARIOTEC EGA analysis utilizes the fact that Natural Gas from a product pipeline contains ethane-C2H6, but biogas does not have ethane present.
