CONTROS HydroC CH₄ FT

The CONTROS HydroC CH₄ FT is a professional flow-through methane partial pressure sensor. It is engineered for continuous flow measurement scenarios, including pumped stationary monitoring stations and ship-based underway observing systems such as FerryBox.
The instrument utilizes Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) to detect dissolved methane. Water flows through the sensor flow cell; dissolved methane penetrates the composite membrane and enters the internal gas detection chamber for precise analysis. Every unit undergoes independent water tank calibration to guarantee reliable short-term and long-term measurement accuracy.
Typical application fields cover global climate research, marine methane hydrate surveys, limnological observation, freshwater environmental regulation, aquaculture and fish farming water quality monitoring.
