Type of gas:


Methane (CH₄) is an extremely flammable greenhouse gas that presents serious safety and environmental challenges. Undetected leaks can result in explosions, health risks, and substantial ecological harm. This highlights the importance of having reliable methane detection sensors.

At MGS Technology, we focus on creating and producing high-precision methane sensors, providing solutions for industrial safety. As a reputable manufacturer of NDIR CH₄ sensors, we offer reliable solutions that can be integrated into gas analyzers of various types and sizes.

What Is The Danger Of Methane In Production

The high concentration of methane in industrial facilities poses a significant threat to the safety and health of workers. Methane, being a colorless and odorless gas, can accumulate in enclosed spaces, creating the risk of an explosive atmosphere. A critical methane concentration of just 5-15% can lead to explosions, endangering lives and compromising equipment integrity.

‎Furthermore, elevated methane levels can result in oxygen deprivation. Workers exposed to methane may experience symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and loss of consciousness. It is essential to regularly monitor and control methane levels, as well as to ensure automated warning systems for hazardous concentrations in the workplace.

Adhering to strict safety regulations and utilizing modern leak detection technologies will help minimize risks and protect employees, ensuring safe working conditions and preventing potential accidents.

Our Solutions For Industrial Safety

Today we can offer:

  • MIPEX-05. This infrared methane sensor is designed for installation in portable gas leak detection equipment. MIPEX 05 has an integrated microcontroller and ultra-low power consumption. Also it has dual-wavelength LED technology that provides high measurement accuracy. It can be used in a wide range of power sources in devices;
  • MIPEX-04. It fits perfectly for portable gas analyzers because it has the lowest power consumption in the world. Methane detection sensor MIPEX-04 optimized for industrial safety applications, works stable over 10 years, supplies voltage from 2.8V to 5V and has compact dimensions. Operation temperature is -40... +60°C. MIPEX- 04 fits for integration into gas monitoring systems;
  • MIPEX-02. Optical CH₄ gas sensor for industrial safety applications. A universal solution designed for use in aggressive conditions. Operation temperature is -40...+60°C. Its weight is only 5.5 grams Polycarbonate Lexan™ 16.6 grams steel. It has low power consumption (below 2 mW) and a 4-series standard housing (⌀20.3×16.6 mm). The sensor is suitable for both stationary and portable gas analysis systems.

There are currently 2 more models in our development.

One of them, MIPEX-1S, is a compact NDIR CH₄ sensor for small-sized, portable gas analyzers. It has compact dimensions 19.9×19.9×10 mm, so this enables the development of devices that are smaller and lighter in size.
It has over 10 years of service life, has explosion protection level "ia".

The other is the industrial methane sensor MIPEX 1F. It's a ready-to-use optical measurement module. Its communication interface is UART or optional RS-485 interface. The steel housing ensures the durability of the module during round-the-clock operation.
It can operate in extreme temperatures ranging from –60°C to +75°C and average current: <600 µA (without heating), <20 mA with heating. It is designed exclusively for installation in stationary gas analysis systems for industrial safety.
