Quantitative Methane Detection
Methane is a critical Green House Gas (GHG). NevadaNano's MPS™ (Molecular Property Spectrometer™) Methane Gas Sensor provides quantitative detection of Methane across a wide dynamic range, from low parts per million to 100% pure methane. MPS ™ Methane Gas Sensor allows companies to detect critical GHGs in order to meet their Environmental Social Governance (ESG) goals.
Lifetime Calibration
Designed for open air detection of methane gas plumes, the MPS™ Methane Gas Sensor rapidly detects and quantifies methane gas emissions with unparalleled speed and accuracy. The sensor's factory calibration lasts for the 15-year demonstrated lifetime of the sensor, ensuring consistent and dependable results and eliminating the need for time-consuming, and expensive field calibrations.
Unwavering Reliability
With built-in environmental compensation and automatic self-testing, you can have unwavering confidence in fail-safe operation even in the harshest conditions. The MPS™ Methane Gas Sensor is programmable, doesn't poison or drift. Intrinsic safety, rugged, robust design, and resistance to toxins make this sensor the ultimate choice for your critical methane gas detection requirements.
The MPS™ Methane Gas Sensor is available in two options:
A 29 mW version with a 2-second update rate and a 15 mW version with a 4-second update rate. Both the MPS™ Extended Range and Extended Range Low Power Methane Gas Sensors are:
- Designed for open-air detection of methane and natural gas plumes
Capable of detecting methane concentrations from 50 to 1,000,000 ppm
Field-tested to detect methane emissions at a rate of 2 SCFH at distances up to 10 meters with minimal false positives
Intrinsically safe, robust, and poison-resistant
Programmed with built-in environmental compensation
Fail-safe due to constant self-testing on every transduction cycle
Digital sensors, outputing sensor readings on a standard digital bus without the need for additional electronics
Factory calibrated and require no further field calibration or bump testing throughout their lifetime
Low power Methane Gas Sensor for the GHG sensing needs (15 mW and 29 mW depending on the model)
Principal characteristics and benefits of the MPS™:
- No requirements for periodic field calibration.
- 15+ years of sensor life.
- Sensor immunity from poisoning.
- Wide environmental working range (-40 to 75 deg C and up to 100% humidity).
- Accurate readings regardless of the environmental conditions.
- Ability to detect Hydrogen and Methane.
- Unique ability to automatically classify the type of gas in the environment.
- Global approvals of device safety and manufacturing quality (ATEX, UL, IECEx)
Accuracy across the dynamic range
The MPS™ Methane gas sensors maintains its accuracy across its remarkable dynamic range. It provides single digit ppm resolution from 50 ppm to 1,000,000 ppm (pure Methane). This means it detects the slightest changes in gas concentration, ensuring the quantification of methane emissions is reliable regardless of the size of the leak. When every detail matters, trust Nevadanano’s sensor to deliver the utmost accuracy in monitoring methane gas emissions.
Speed
The MPS™ Methane gas sensors are tailored for rapid detection of methane plumes, with a T90 of under 16 seconds. This means it can rapidly detect and provide accurate quantification of Methane gas emissions, a potent greenhouse gas (GHG). Speed and quantification are top priorities for the MPS™ Methane gas sensors.
Environmental range
The MPS™ Methane gas sensor is designed to thrive in diverse environments, with an impressive operational range. It can operate reliably in temperatures ranging from a frigid -40°C to a scorching 75°C, ensuring versatility in various conditions. With a humidity tolerance spanning from 0% to 100% relative humidity (%RH), it’s equipped to handle moisture variations. Additionally, it comfortably operates under pressures between 80 kPa and 120 kPa. This broad environmental operating range showcases the sensor’s robustness and adaptability for your gas detection needs.
