Natural Gas Analysis

Shimadzu offers a variety of applicated gas chromatographs for the analysis of natural gas and liquefied natural gas to support midstream operations. The analysis of fixed gas can be incorporated into natural gas analyzers as well. An integrated software package is available for the calculation of the BTU content of the samples.
