Trace Metals in Natural Gas

Trace metals analysis of natural gas.

Detection and measurement of trace metals in natural gas (methane) is provided by Intertek hydrocarbons testing laboratories on a global basis. Testing for trace metal content in natural gas streams and LNG can reach parts per million (ppm) levels and lower.

Natural gas trace metals analysis methods include ASTM, NIOSH, ISO, and other accepted industry standards. Testing is conducted by trained chemists using state-of-the-art equipment, including Gas Chromatography, ICP, ICP-MS, and GC-ICP-MS.

Sampling and shipping natural gas samples to the labs can be easily and professionally arranged to ensure sample integrity and prompt, rapid, testing and reporting.
