Abstract

In order to detect natural gas pipeline leaks, ethane in the natural gas must be discriminated from background methane emissions. Our gas detection apparatus is well-suited for this application due to its flexibility and low cost. We present a comparison of machine learning models for quantitative estimation of concentrations of both methane and ethane in a target gas sample, using a response over time from a single sensor in our apparatus. We also demonstrate that the use of synthetic data is very effective for training a model to discriminate between methane and ethane.
