Turnkey instrumentation solutions for biogas quality control

CHROMATOTEC offers an autonomous, robust and reliable solution for continuous biogas quality control monitoring.

This solution is based on a reference technology, gas chromatography with TCD detector (GC TCD), enabling the operator to obtain precise results without interferences. It integrates a hydrogen generator which provides the carrier gas that the GC-TCD needs, making the instrument completely autonomous as it needs no electricity power supply to operate.

This system can analyse from 1 to 32 ways of analysis automatically, with a single system allowing multiple points of control.

This device has been miniaturised and toughened-up to create a compact analyser that can be installed in an industrial environment with a small footprint and low level of maintenance needs. It can be installed in a 19” rack, in a cabinet, or in wall-mounted box with a protection index from IP54 to IP66. This mounted box can be temperature-regulated in order to ensure optimum performance even outdoors. An ATEX version up to Zone1 enables installation of the instrument in hazardous areas.

This solution has already been deployed on household waste methanation sites to monitor levels of gases such as CH4, CO2 and H2S; in order to monitor continuously biogas product conformity and alert process production technicians when concentration limits are exceeded.
