Refinery & Natural Gas Analysis

Supporting Gas Quality and Operational Efficiency

Gas composition plays an important role in the quality, performance, and suitability of gaseous fuels and process streams. Testing refinery and natural gases provides information that supports quality control, process monitoring, safe operations, and environmental compliance assessments.

ETLCO’s Oil & Gas Laboratory provides gas analysis services to help clients characterize gas streams, assess composition, and compare results with operational requirements and product specifications. Testing scopes are tailored to the gas type, process application, and client requirements.

Our Gas Analysis Capabilities

Natural Gas Analysis

Analysis of natural gas composition to determine its hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon constituents. Results support gas quality assessment, evaluation of fuel suitability, and monitoring of changes in composition.

Reformed Gas Analysis

Analysis of gas streams produced through reforming processes to assess their composition. Testing supports process monitoring and evaluation against the requirements of downstream applications.

Sulfur Compound Analysis

Identification and measurement of sulfur compounds within the agreed testing scope. Results help clients assess gas quality and investigate concerns related to corrosion, treatment performance, and product specifications.

Gaseous Fuel Analysis

Evaluation of gaseous fuel composition to support fuel quality control and assessment of suitability for the intended combustion application.

Hydrocarbon and Non-Hydrocarbon Gas Analysis

Determination of selected hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon components to characterize gas mixtures, monitor process consistency, and investigate unexpected changes in composition.

Hydrocarbons in Petroleum Gases

Analysis of hydrocarbon constituents in petroleum gas streams to support product characterization, quality verification, and comparison with specified composition requirements.

The selection of components, analytical methods, and reporting requirements depends on the gas stream and the purpose of the analysis. Our laboratory team can confirm the appropriate testing scope and sample requirements for each enquiry.
