A Review of Various Sensors for Measurement of Methane

Abstract

This article clearly gives the description of various types of sensors that are used for the detection of methane gas, along with the working principles and operation. Methane measurement is essential as it a toxic gas, and its measurement is essential in order to control its emissions from coal mines, wastewater treatment plants, bio-plants, etc. There are several instruments that detect methane at the field or by remote detection techniques. By measuring the methane we can take necessary actions to reduce its emissions.

Keywords: Gas Sensors, Greenhouse Gases, Hydrocarbons, Methane
