Advantages

Ensuring pro­duct qua­li­ty

With the Gas Analyzer 210 – Biomethane, you can ensu­re the metha­ne qua­li­ty – and thus the pro­duct qua­li­ty of your end gas. At the same time, you ensu­re the pro­fi­ta­bi­li­ty of your plant – relia­bly, con­ti­nuous­ly and, abo­ve all, easi­ly.

Simple sys­tem inte­gra­ti­on

The Analyzer can be seam­less­ly inte­gra­ted into exis­ting pro­cess con­trol sys­tems. With fle­xi­ble inter­face opti­ons such as Profibus and Modbus, it can be easi­ly inte­gra­ted into various sys­tems, which redu­ces instal­la­ti­on cos­ts and enables direct inte­gra­ti­on into exis­ting pro­ces­ses.

Minimal cali­bra­ti­on effort and low ser­vice cos­ts

With the Gas Analyzer 210 – Biomethane, you redu­ce ope­ra­ting cos­ts thanks to low cali­bra­ti­on effort and mini­mal main­ten­an­ce requi­re­ments.

FAQ

How does the Gas Analyzer 210 con­tri­bu­te to impro­ving our plant effi­ci­en­cy?

With the Gas Analyzer 210, you can ensu­re the qua­li­ty of your bio­me­tha­ne - and thus your yield. The pre­cise and con­ti­nuous mea­su­re­ment of metha­ne (CH₄) and optio­nal CO₂ allows you to keep con­trol of your metha­na­ti­on pro­ces­ses at all times.

Thanks to con­ti­nuous moni­to­ring, you can detect fluc­tua­tions imme­dia­te­ly and take tar­ge­ted action. This allows you to get more metha­ne out of your pro­cess - and achie­ve more pro­fit per cubic meter of bio­me­tha­ne. The opti­mi­zed gas qua­li­ty increa­ses the effi­ci­en­cy of your sys­tem.

What cost savings can we expect with this device?

Thanks to the long-term sta­ble and drift-free tech­no­lo­gy of the Gas Analyzer 210, the­re is no need for fre­quent reca­li­bra­ti­ons or time-con­sum­ing main­ten­an­ce work. As no test gas is requi­red, you also save on ope­ra­ting cos­ts and avo­id hand­ling gas cylin­ders.

This not only redu­ces your main­ten­an­ce cos­ts, but also mini­mi­zes ope­ra­tio­nal inter­rup­ti­ons and lowers the total cost of owner­ship in the long term. Reliable CH₄ and CO₂ mea­su­re­ment also con­tri­bu­tes to sta­ble pro­cess con­trol and redu­ces sys­tem wear.

How pre­cis­e­ly does the device mea­su­re CO₂ and CH₄?

The gas ana­ly­zer uses an NDIR sin­gle-beam method with a hea­ted cuvet­te (60°C), which offers a high mea­su­re­ment accu­ra­cy of <1 % of the mea­su­red value in the ran­ge of 0.1-100 % by volu­me for CH₄ and optio­nal­ly CO₂. With a detec­tion limit of 0.1 % by volu­me, the ana­ly­zer deli­vers relia­ble results even at low con­cen­tra­ti­ons.

How easy is it to inte­gra­te the Analyzer into our exis­ting sys­tem?

Thanks to inter­faces such as RS232, Profibus, Modbus and Profinet, the Analyzer can be fle­xi­bly inte­gra­ted into dif­fe­rent pro­cess con­trol sys­tems. This makes instal­la­ti­on easier and com­mis­sio­ning goes smooth­ly.

What advan­ta­ges does the Analyzer offer for the ope­ra­tio­nal safe­ty of our sys­tem?

Thanks to the real-time moni­to­ring of metha­ne and CO₂ con­cen­tra­ti­ons and the fast mea­su­re­ment inter­val of just 20 seconds, the ana­ly­zer offers relia­ble con­trol over cri­ti­cal pro­cess values. This enables ear­ly detec­tion of fluc­tua­tions and pro­tects your sys­tem from poten­ti­al risks.

How user-fri­end­ly is the device in dai­ly moni­to­ring?

The intui­ti­ve touch dis­play with simp­le menu navi­ga­ti­on allows you to con­ve­ni­ent­ly set and ope­ra­te the device. The auto­ma­tic zero point cor­rec­tion works enti­re­ly wit­hout test gases or the use of gas cylin­ders, thus redu­cing effort and poten­ti­al sources of error.

All rele­vant CH₄ and CO₂ values and sta­tus mes­sa­ges are dis­play­ed cle­ar­ly and con­cis­e­ly in real time. This allows you to reco­gni­ze main­ten­an­ce requi­re­ments at an ear­ly stage and keep an over­view of your sys­tem at all times.

Thanks to inte­gra­ted inter­faces, the mea­su­red values can be easi­ly trans­fer­red to your exis­ting ope­ra­ting sys­tems - for smooth inte­gra­ti­on into your pro­ces­ses.
