Would you like to start by conducting small batch trials with substrates in your own biogas fermentation tanks in your laboratory?
Are you looking for an intelligent automation system for flow measurement, gas collection and gas analysis?
Then our AwiLAB Gas Analysis is just right for you.
Function
- The combination of our AwiFLEX gas analysis system and the AwiLAB laboratory automation allows you to manage your batch substrate fermentation experiments intelligently and precisely – suitable for laboratory experiments with a gas production of up to 4 l/h.
- AwiLAB Gas Analysis measures the amount of gas produced in your fermentation vessels using a milligas counter or drum gas meter and collects it in gas bags. Once the amount required for gas analysis has been reached, the system switches over automatically and the collected gas is forwarded to the AwiFLEX gas analysis system (CH4, CO2, CO, O2, H2S, H2) for measurement.
- Up to 7 measuring points can be connected to the AwiLAB Gas Analysis.
- A measuring point can also consist of several fermentation tanks (e.g. for triple testing or if not enough gas is produced per tank). The gas flow of each tank is then first measured individually by a milligas counter and then forwarded in bulk for collection and gas analysis.
- An Awite gas analysis system can control up to three AwiLAB automation systems simultaneously (i.e. a maximum of 21 measuring points).
Scope of services
- Recording of gas volumes per fermentation tank
- Recording the current fill levels of the gas bags
- Automatic release for gas analysis at a specific, adjustable volume
- Automatic emptying of the bag after the measurement
- Visualisation of measured values and error messages on the touch panel of the gas analysis system
- Determination of daily gas production, start time and end of test, and period of maximum gas production
- Measurement results can provide information on:
- Comparison of different substrates with different dry matter contents, mixing ratios, etc.
- Effects of process changes (temperature, pressure, etc.)
- Influence of additives such as trace elements, etc.
