# NevadaNano

> NevadaNano (Nevada Nanotech Systems, Inc.) is a Sparks, Nevada company that builds MEMS gas sensors and hardware-enabled SaaS for detecting flammable gases and quantifying methane and other emissions. Its patented Molecular Property Spectrometer (MPS) measures the thermodynamic properties of a gas mixture instead of relying on chemical reactions, delivering multi-gas detection with a 15-year life and no field calibration. The MPS platform powers flammable, refrigerant, methane, and hydrogen sensors, and underpins MethaneTrack, a continuous methane-monitoring system used to cut LDAR costs and meet OGMP 2.0 reporting requirements.

- **Founded:** 2004
- **Headquarters:** Sparks, Nevada, United States
- **Founders:** Ralph Whitten (Co-Founder, Executive Chair (Strategic Programs)), Ben Rogers (Co-Founder, Director of Engineering)
- **Team size:** ~68 employees
- **Products:** MPS Flammable Gas Sensor, MPS Mini, MPS Refrigerant Gas Sensor, MPS Methane / Hydrogen Sensors, MethaneTrack
- **Notable:** Developed the patented Molecular Property Spectrometer (MPS), a calibration-free MEMS gas-sensing platform with a 15-year life., Shipped five generations of the MPS flammable gas sensor with ATEX Zone 0, IECEx, FM, and CSA certifications., Deployed 16,000+ MethaneTrack devices across 22 countries for major oil and gas operators.

## Products & services

- **MPS Flammable Gas Sensor** — Fifth-generation MEMS sensor that reports 0-100% LEL across 19 flammable gases without field calibration, with TrueLEL real-time k-factor adjustment and built-in self-test.
- **MPS Mini** — Low-cost, miniaturized version of the MPS flammable gas sensor introduced in 2021 for space- and cost-constrained instruments.
- **MPS Refrigerant Gas Sensor** — Detects A2L and other flammable refrigerants such as R290 for HVAC and refrigeration safety.
- **MPS Methane / Hydrogen Sensors** — Variants of the MPS platform tuned for methane (incl. extended-range low-power) and hydrogen detection.
- **MethaneTrack** — Continuous, automated methane emissions monitoring system - a network of rugged devices that reports leak location, rate, and start/stop time to cut LDAR costs and support OGMP 2.0 reporting. MethaneTrack 2.0 launched November 2025.
- **EmissionsTrack / GHGTrack / RefrigerantTrack** — Adjacent emissions-tracking SaaS products extending the MethaneTrack approach to broader greenhouse gas and refrigerant monitoring.
