The VARIOTEC EGA ethane gas analyzer is an ideal tool for identifying whether a gas leak originates from a natural gas pipeline or is just a naturally occurring biogas (such as swamp or marsh gas). This can help prevent costly excavations. The VARIOTEC EGA can quickly and easily verify the source of the gas leak.

• The VARIOTEC EGA analysis relies on the fact that natural gas from a product pipeline contains ethane-C2H6, while biogas does not include ethane.
