MARSH GAS Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Marsh gas, also known as methane (CH₄), is a colorless, odorless, and highly flammable gas produced by the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter in wetlands. It is the primary component of natural gas and is used as a fuel for heating, cooking, and electricity generation. Methane is also employed in the chemical industry for the production of hydrogen, methanol, and other chemicals. Despite its utility, methane poses significant safety hazards due to its flammability and potential for explosive mixtures with air. Proper handling, storage, and stringent safety measures are essential to minimize risks and ensure safe usage. Adequate ventilation and leak detection systems are crucial in industrial settings.
