New Biogas Methane Monitor Launched

BIOGAS 300 Methane MonitorEasy to self-install, operate and maintain, the BIOGAS 300 is a cost effective fixed system biogas analyser for businesses wanting to monitor CH4. The unit has been designed to cater for small scale agricultural and farm waste and mixed food waste applications.

The development of the BIOGAS 300 came as a result of a noticeable increase in companies within the agricultural industry approaching Geotech with on-farm AD site plants, looking for a simple and robust methane monitoring solution.

Such a demand for methane only monitoring could be a result of the availability of funding launched in 2014 that is aimed at farmers looking to develop anaerobic digestion biogas facilities on their farms. Geotech’s new fixed BIOGAS 300 monitor was developed specifically for this category of farmers - on-farm AD plants that generate typically less than 500kW of energy, and those utilising bio-waste produced by farms, such as manures and slurries.

The BIOGAS 300 is a single sample point system, measuring CH4 in the range 0-100% typical accuracy plus or minus 2% volume. The monitor can be used throughout the world – its operating temperature range is from 0 to +50C.
