From LNG Carriers to Bio-Methane: Expanding the T1000 Application Space
Since launching the first T1000 Natural gas analyser in 2019, Tunable has seen steadily increasing demand for an alternative to traditional gas chromatographs (GCs). Today, the T1000 Natural gas analyser has become the standard for boil-off gas (BOG) measurement on LNG carriers. Ship owners consistently choose the T1000 Natural gas analyser for its high accuracy and precision, compact footprint, and ease of installation and operation.
Expanding into Bio-Methane Applications
Tunable is now applying this proven technology to a new and rapidly growing area: bio-methane production.
Typical process steps include:
- Cooling and dehumidification
- Removal of H2S and VOCs
- Gas compression
- Separation of CH4 and CO2 (typically via membranes)
- Final methane use: grid injection or liquefaction
Real-Time Insight into CO2- and CH4-separation
The T1000 Natural gas analyser provides continuous, high-frequency gas composition measurements, enabling direct monitoring of separation performance.
Measured components include:
- Methane: 0–100%
- Ethane: 0–20%
- Propane: 0–20%
- Iso-butane: 0–5%
- N-butane: 0–5%
- C5+: 0–2%
- CO2: 0–20%
This enables the analyzer to function as a real-time diagnostic tool, detecting process imbalances within seconds.
Key Benefits
- Real-time monitoring of separation efficiency
- Immediate detection of deviations
- Reduced need for manual calibration
- Improved uptime and lower operational cost
- Proven technology
Why T1000 Natural gas analyser for Bio-Methane?
- No calibration gas bottles required
- Minimal manual handling
- Simple system integration
- Robust and compact design
Smart Self-Diagnostics and Calibration
The T1000 Natural gas analyser includes an integrated self-diagnostics functionality that compares field measurements against factory calibration data. This allows the system to:
- Detect measurement drift
- Prompt span calibration if required
This condition-based approach ensures high data quality while reducing costs and maximizing up-time.
