Information
Identified Bio Genic marsh or swamp gas which it is better known, which leaks from underground storage or reservoirs of naturally forming gas can be a difficult problem to connect or pinpoint. The absence of ethane or other heavier hydrocarbons in methane-rich gas is generally interpreted as indicating that the gas was formed by bacteria because methane is the only hydrocarbon produced by bacteria in significant quantities.
The bio genic gases generated and produced in this bacterium in significant and notable of high quantities suggest that the presence or absence of other Ethane heavier than methane is a reliable indicator of gas and its origin.
Using the IRwin SXG can establish swamp gas in such ways as not to confuse the gas as natural gas while understanding the existence of CO2, CO and H2S.
