How Biogas is Produced Safely with Continuous On-line Monitoring

Biogas production has evolved from a niche practice into a pivotal part of renewable energy, converting organic waste into a clean energy source. Wastewater treatment plants, food waste facilities, and landfill gas recovery systems utilise anaerobic digesters to break down organic matter. This digestion process produces biogas—a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide. Capturing this energy, similar to natural gas, powers operations and reduces reliance on fossil fuels, while also mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.

Continuous on-line monitoring ensures safe and efficient operations. Gas monitors track methane content, carbon monoxide, and other critical indicators, providing real-time data to control systems to maintain stability. This technology maximises biogas production and minimises risk, establishing biogas as a key contributor to power generation.
