The biogas analyzer Yieldmaster (BCS-CH4 biogas) is a highly developed measuring system consisting of microprocessor controlled infrared-gas sensors, precision volumenometers (MilliGascounter®*) and the related BACVis data acquisition software.
For measuring gas formation potential
When using Yieldmaster you do not have to consider minimum gas volumes produced during the running experiment. As the experiment is started, the CH4 concentrations and the gas volumes are recorded automatically. With the integrated temperature measurement the software BACVis immediately converts the measured gas into the standard volume.
Using methane sensors directly in the fermentation container means, none of the measurement data is lost and errors caused by gas leakage or other malfunctions are minimized. The combination of the methane sensors and the precision volumenometers results in a parallel gas metric flow measurement so that both the generated gas volume as well as the methane content are available online and are continuously and automatically documented by BACVis. The new compensating reservoir device guarantees continues measurement under all circumstances.
