Gas analysis solutions for biogas industry - Energy - Bioenergy
Biogas is a renewable energy source created during Anaerobic Digestion (AD). It is a natural process that takes place within digesters where organic matter is broken down in the absence of oxygen. Production generally takes place within agricultural or industrial plants, such as breweries or food processing sites and creates a gas rich in carbon dioxide and methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Overview Applications & industries Served
Benefits of biogas production include the generation of renewable energy and a diversion of waste from landfill. Landfill gases are also created through anaerobic digestion and are one of the largest sources of methane emissions into the atmosphere. Controlling waste disposal and methane production and usage can have considerable benefits for the environment.
Due to that fact that biogas is often produced from waste, it can contain harmful organic and volatile compounds. Monitoring and analysis are therefore essential to ensure the correct handling and cleaning procedures are adhered to, resulting in an accurate biogas composition. The biogas can then be used very much like any other fuel, to deliver clean and cost-effective heat and power.
