Gas Composition Testing and Sulphur Detection from a NATA-Accredited Lab
At Leeder Analytical, we deliver high-precision gas and condensate analysis services from our NATA-accredited Melbourne laboratory.
Our testing identifies gas composition, characterises condensate quality, and detects trace impurities to support compliance, safety, and performance in oil and gas operations.
- Full hydrocarbon and impurity profiling of gas and condensate
- Accurate trace-level sulphur analysis
- Calorific value and BTU testing
- Trusted by producers, pipelines, and processing plants
What Is Gas and Condensate Analysis?
Gas and condensate analysis involves laboratory testing of hydrocarbon streams to determine composition, impurities, and physical properties.
This is essential for verifying product quality, meeting regulatory specifications, and ensuring safe handling and transport of volatile materials.
At Leeder Analytical, we use advanced gas chromatography techniques to analyse:
| Natural Gas Streams | Condensate Samples | Sulphur Species |

Why Gas Composition Testing Matters
Gas and condensate streams often contain contaminants and variables that affect performance, marketability, and safety.
Routine compositional analysis helps:
- Ensure compliance with national and international standards
- Optimise processing equipment and catalyst usage
- Maintain product consistency and reduce environmental risk
- Identify impurities like sulphur, which can cause corrosion, odours, or safety hazards

FAQs
What’s the difference between gas and condensate analysis?
Gas analysis measures vapour-phase hydrocarbons and energy value, while condensate analysis focuses on heavier liquid hydrocarbons and their physical properties.
Why is gas composition testing important for compliance?
It verifies your product meets pipeline, refinery, or export standards and identifies harmful impurities before they cause safety or performance issues.
What impurities do you test for in gas and condensate samples?
We detect CO₂, H₂S, N₂, mercaptans, and heavier hydrocarbons, among others. Sulphur species are often key targets due to their corrosive and toxic properties.
Can you help diagnose processing inefficiencies?
Yes. Our compositional and sulphur profiling has helped clients pinpoint the cause of catalyst degradation and improve treatment systems.
Is your data accepted by regulators?
Yes. All testing follows NATA-accredited procedures and includes compliance-ready documentation accepted by government and industry bodies.
