Methane is a chemical compound and is a colorless and odorless gas that is gaseous under normal temperature and normal pressure. Methane, a component of natural gas, is also an important fuel. Methane is one of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. In recent years, research on global warming has made methane gas research subject because of this greenhouse effect. The methane gas, which is completely odorless, is fatal if inhaled by living things. Methane gas, which is not easily recognized by people due to its odorlessness, carries the risk of explosion as well as the risk of explosion. Therefore, methane gas is a very dangerous substance.
Methane added to the structure of natural gas is used as fuel in industrial production. The most important feature of methane gas is that it tends to burn when combined with oxygen. For this reason, scientists have been working on the use of methane gas for years.
(CH4) 'Colorless' odorless gas from the alkanes group of hydrocarbons, which is abundant in nature. Methane, the simplest member of alkanes, is the major component of natural gas; It also occurs as a result of the decomposition of under-water vegetable mines with bacteria as 'it is found in the composition of gruzi gas formed in coal mines. Methane' is obtained as a by-product during the decomposition of hard coal by heating in airless environment for the purpose of air gas production or during the treatment of waste water wastes with activated sludge process. Methane, which is a lighter Gas (specific gravity 0'554) and whose water dissolves in a very small amount, easily burns in air and gives off cadrbondioxide and water vapor. Pure methane boils at –164'0 C 'and melts at' -182'5C '. Although it is generally a very stable substance, mixtures of 5-14 percent in the air explode violently (this is common in coal mines' landfills).
The most important source of methane is natural gas. In places where natural gas is not enough, it is obtained from the large dumps by the degradation of the coal by heating in the airless environment.
Methane gas in the natural environment is a substance formed in the crust. Methane gas emerges when carbon contains substances. This gas is also known as swamp gas because it usually occurs in marshy areas. In particular, methane gas released during the mine works causes fatal explosions. One of the most important areas of mining engineering is the extraction and processing of methane.
Methane gas is the most recognized gas in the world and has caused the formation of a gas safety concept. It is the main component of the formation known as natural gas in daily life and grizu in mining. Methane gas is lighter than air, when it is leaking, it easily mixes into the air and collects upwards. Due to this feature, it is easy to evacuate.
Methane gas measurements are of paramount importance, since they have a great danger to human health because they have both toxic and explosive properties. These measurements are made in the authorized laboratory.
Our company also performs methane gas (CH4) measurements within the scope of gas measurements. These studies comply with the relevant legal regulations, standards and test methods published by local and foreign institutions.
In the meantime, our company has been accredited by the Turkish Accreditation Agency (TÜRKAK) according to the TS EN ISO / IEC 17025 standard and the test, measurement, analysis, inspection and inspection procedures and reports are accepted as valid in special and official audits.
