The BioBasic opti­mi­zes your bio­gas pro­duc­tion by pre­cis­e­ly moni­to­ring the metha­ne con­cen­tra­ti­on (CH₄) and other gas com­pon­ents. With this data you can:

• Maximize metha­ne yield: Precisely coor­di­na­ted pro­ces­ses ensu­re hig­her ener­gy pro­duc­tion, which leads to hig­her reve­nues.
• Protect gas engi­nes: Measuring hydro­gen sul­phi­de (H₂S) helps to pre­vent dama­ge to expen­si­ve engi­nes and cata­ly­tic con­ver­ters. Repairs and break­downs can cost seve­ral thousand euros a year - you can effec­tively mini­mi­ze the­se risks.
• Determine the opti­mum time to replace the acti­va­ted char­co­al fil­ter: Using the mea­su­re­ment data, you can deter­mi­ne when the opti­mum time for repla­ce­ment is and when the effi­ci­en­cy of the acti­va­ted char­co­al fil­ter is decre­asing. This allows you to use the acti­va­ted char­co­al fil­ter as eco­no­mic­al­ly as pos­si­ble - pre­vious inter­val sche­du­les are a thing of the past.

In addi­ti­on, you can save cos­ts for test gases with our devices: Unlike other mea­su­ring devices, the BioBasic does not requi­re fre­quent cali­bra­ti­ons with test gases.

The BioBasic mea­su­res the most important gas com­pon­ents for your bio­gas pro­ces­ses:

• Methane (CH₄): Optimizes the ener­gy yield of your sys­tem.
• Hydrogen sul­phi­de (H₂S): Prevents cor­ro­si­on and dama­ge to engi­nes and cata­ly­tic con­ver­ters.
• Carbon dioxi­de (CO₂), oxy­gen (O₂) and hydro­gen (H₂): Monitor the gas com­po­si­ti­on for sta­ble pro­ces­ses and pro­cess safe­ty. Too much oxy­gen, for exam­p­le, can lead to a risk of explo­si­on.
• Others can also be moni­to­red on request, e.g. ammo­nia (NH₃)

These mea­su­re­ments ensu­re com­pli­ance with legal requi­re­ments and pre­vent cos­t­ly sys­tem pro­blems.

The BioBasic has ATEX-cer­ti­fied fla­me arres­ters that pro­tect your sys­tem from explo­si­on risks. It also has inter­nal LEL moni­to­ring in the housing.

The BioBasic offers addi­tio­nal pro­tec­tion for your sys­tem by relia­bly moni­to­ring hydro­gen sul­phi­de (H₂S). H₂S is cor­ro­si­ve and can dama­ge motors and sys­tem com­pon­ents. With the BioBasic, you can detect dan­ge­rous con­cen­tra­ti­ons at an ear­ly stage and take pro­tec­ti­ve mea­su­res in good time - such as chan­ging the acti­va­ted car­bon fil­ter - to ensu­re the lon­ge­vi­ty of your sys­tem.

The BioBasic is a plug & play device. It is sup­pli­ed com­ple­te­ly pre-con­fi­gu­red and is rea­dy for imme­dia­te use. Simple ope­ra­ti­on via the touch panel makes com­mis­sio­ning even easier.

Regular main­ten­an­ce is important to ensu­re the func­tion­a­li­ty and pre­cis­i­on of the devices. The stan­dard main­ten­an­ce inter­val for the BioBasic is one year. Reasons for the regu­lar neces­si­ty of this are

• Measurement accu­ra­cy: Deposits such as dust or impu­ri­ties in the gas lines and mea­su­ring cells can lead to devia­ti­ons in the mea­su­re­ment results (drift effect). Annual clea­ning and cali­bra­ti­on pre­vents the­se inac­cu­ra­ci­es and ensu­res that the mea­su­red values remain relia­ble.
• Wear inspec­tion: Components that run under high loads throug­hout the year are sub­ject to natu­ral wear and tear. Regular ser­vicing enables the­se com­pon­ents to be che­cked and repla­ced in good time to pre­vent device fail­ures.
• Software updates: Software updates must be instal­led every 1-2 years so that the device bene­fits from the latest deve­lo­p­ments, impro­ve­ments and inno­va­tions and to ensu­re com­pa­ti­bi­li­ty and secu­ri­ty.
• Filter chan­ge: Filters that beco­me con­ta­mi­na­ted over time must be chan­ged regu­lar­ly to ensu­re the pro­per func­tio­ning of the sys­tem.

The main­ten­an­ce cos­ts of the BioBasic are extre­me­ly low becau­se:

• An auto­ma­tic zero point cor­rec­tion eli­mi­na­tes the need for fre­quent cali­bra­ti­ons with test gases.
• wea­ring parts such as sen­sors have a long ser­vice life.
• The robust con­s­truc­tion com­pen­sa­tes for con­ta­mi­na­ti­on in the mea­su­ring cell.

Compared to con­ven­tio­nal appli­ances, you save signi­fi­cant­ly on annu­al main­ten­an­ce cos­ts.

The BioBasic is sui­ta­ble for both lar­ge indus­tri­al plants and smal­ler bio­gas plants. With up to five sam­ple gas chan­nels, the device is fle­xi­bly adap­ta­ble and covers all rele­vant requi­re­ments - whe­ther for power gene­ra­ti­on in the CHP or for upgrading to bio­me­tha­ne.

Yes, the BioBasic is equip­ped with an inte­gra­ted con­den­sa­te sepa­ra­tor that can cope with high levels of mois­tu­re in the bio­gas. This ensu­res that mea­su­re­ment accu­ra­cy is main­tai­ned even under dif­fi­cult con­di­ti­ons.

The auto­ma­tic con­den­sa­te drain pro­tects the appli­ance from floo­ding and dama­ge cau­sed by mois­tu­re.

The BioBasic achie­ves a mea­su­re­ment accu­ra­cy of ±3% and a long-term drift of less than 3% per year. This pre­cis­i­on is cru­cial for sta­ble pro­cess con­trol and relia­ble long-term data.

The BioBasic is extre­me­ly ener­gy-effi­ci­ent with an elec­tri­cal out­put of around 207 VA. Combined with the low main­ten­an­ce requi­re­ments and the savings in test gas cos­ts, this results in low ope­ra­ting cos­ts, making it an extre­me­ly eco­no­mic­al solu­ti­on.

The device shows errors and faults in plain text on the touch dis­play so that you can react quick­ly. If requi­red, our ser­vice is available by pho­ne 365 days a year and on site. Failures are extre­me­ly rare thanks to the robust and high-qua­li­ty design.
