Geotech has launched a fixed methane monitor for on-farm anaerobic digestion plants.
The company says 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. The monitor was developed specifically for farmers with on-farm AD plants that generate typically less than 500kW of energy, and those utilizing 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 percent typical accuracy plus or minus 2 percent volume. The monitor can be used throughout the world - its operating temperature range is from 0 to +50C.
The company says benefits include zero service downtime, simple module replacement for annual service and low cost of ownership.
