Biogas Production | Measuring CO2 and Methane with Dual-Gas Sensors

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.

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:
