Biogas-Production

Biogas production has emerged as a vital solution for addressing global energy demands while mitigating environmental challenges. Derived from organic waste through anaerobic digestion, landfill gas recovery, and composting processes, biogas offers a renewable energy source that reduces reliance on fossil fuels and helps manage waste more sustainably. However, the effectiveness and safety of biogas production depend heavily on monitoring its primary components: methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2).


Methane is the key energy carrier in biogas, making its precise measurement critical for optimizing energy yields. CO₂, while a natural byproduct of the process, dilutes biogas energy content and adds complexity to gas upgrading processes. Without accurate monitoring of these gases, biogas operations risk inefficiency, increased costs, safety hazards, and regulatory non-compliance.

This is especially crucial in applications like landfill gas recovery, where methane emissions must be controlled to prevent greenhouse gas release, and composting facilities, where monitoring ensures safety and minimizes unintended methane production.


DualGas

For these applications, dual-gas infrared sensors solve the challenges of real-time, reliable monitoring, enabling operators to optimize processes, enhance safety, and meet environmental regulations. By providing precise, simultaneous detection of methane and CO2, dual-gas sensors address the need for efficiency and sustainability in biogas production, offering a critical tool for modern energy and waste management systems.

Our dual-gas sensors utilize nondispersive infrared (NDIR) technology to deliver precise and real-time measurements of methane and carbon dioxide concentrations. Key features include:

  • Simultaneous Dual-Gas Detection: Measure both CH₄ and CO₂ within a single compact sensor, streamlining installation and maintenance.

  • Wide Measurement Ranges: Detect methane concentrations from 0 to 100% volume and carbon dioxide from 0 to 100% volume, accommodating various biogas applications.

  • High Resolution: Achieve a resolution of 0.01% for 0–5% methane and 0.1% for 5–100% volume, ensuring precise monitoring.

  • Low Power Consumption: Designed for energy efficiency, our sensors are ideal for portable and battery-powered devices.

  • Robust Design: Certified for industrial and mining environments, our sensors offer enhanced electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) protection and durability.

  • User Configurability: Utilize the USB-powered Premier Configuration Unit to customize sensor parameters and perform firmware updates, ensuring adaptability to specific monitoring requirements.
