A gas analyzer is an analytical instrument used to determine the concentration of a known gas in an atmosphere that contains various gases. The typical purpose of a gas analyzer is to improve safety, quality, and efficiency, and to monitor the process and emissions.
The analyzer will provide a percent by volume reading of the methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. The oxygen (O2) readings on the analyzer may be useful in determining if there is an inbound air leak in the collection system.
