Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a Methane number for a compressed natural gas fuel by obtaining compositional data from one or more particular analyzers and applying the obtained compositional data to one or more selectable Methane number generation protocols. The systems and methods can include refining of the compressed natural gas fuel to meet a predetermined Methane number.

Abstract: A generally cylindrical, elongated thermal isolator for in-line placement proximate to a vaporizer of a sample take-off conditioning system for minimizing upstream heat migration from a sample vaporizer to prevent liquid sample pre-vaporization.

Abstract: A system and method for substantially coincidental sample takeoff flow rate verification which detects unstable flow conditions in a pipeline, terminates fluid sample analysis during flow instability, and resumes sample takeoff when a steady flow state is re-established.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically purging by pneumatic ejection with a select pressurized media, gravity-accumulated hydrocarbon liquid dropout from a retrograde vapor waste liquid collection containment reservoir.

Abstract: A biogas blending and energy content verification system and method for controlled enhancement of a biogas feedstock stream energy content profile by selective sampling and analysis of the biogas feedstock stream and controlled injection of a refined gas of a known, higher energy content into the biogas feedstock stream to produce a blended biogas having an augmented energy content profile meeting or exceeding a pre-established minimum to meet end user requirements.

Abstract: An insertion probe adapter for fluid sample extraction from a pipeline for mounting of an overlying housing element is illustrated and described. The invention permits disengagement of an insertion probe from the body of the probe adapter without disassembling the body from the pipeline and without disassembling the overlying housing element from the body.

Abstract: An anti-fouling, radiation emitter isolation assembly includes an adapter element mounted to a fixed port at the top of a leachate tank. A radiation emitter/detector is further mounted to the adapter element for transmitting radiation through the fixed port to determine a fluid level. The adapter element incorporates an isolation valve that when opened provides an unobstructed window through the fixed port for the transmitted radiation and when closed isolates said radiation emitter/detector from the fixed port. In particular, selectively isolating the radiation emitter/detector from the interior of the tank permits removal of the radiation emitter/detector from the adapter element without requiring a shutdown of leachate tank system operations.

Abstract: Provided herein is a solar powered system for a gas sampling and analysis for placement and operation remote from conventional infra-structure that utilizes a minimum of power to obtain a sample extracted from a source such as a pipeline or well-head, conditions the extracted sample, transmits the conditioned sample through vacuum jacketed tubing to an analyzer while maintaining the sample at a temperature and pressure preventing phase transition, condensation or component partitioning.
