Natural Gas
DCG's Natural Gas Certified Reference Materials ensures the product quality and value of your natural gas process streams.
The concentration of components in the natural gas is utilized for the calculation of its calorific value to determine its financial value. Natural gas naturally contains varying amounts and speciation of sulfur compounds. These compounds can cause corrosion and catalyst issues. For over 30 years DCG has perfected the manufacturing process for total and speciated sulfur reference materials.
DCG reference materials can provide evidence of accurate and traceable analyses for custom requests and for these methods:
