Multitec BioControl 4 & 8
All plant operators producing electricity from biogas, sewage gas or landfill gas aim to optimize processes and thus ensure greater efficiency – in other words, obtain as much methane as possible. At the same time, however, harmful components in the gas need to be kept to a minimum.
Only constant monitoring of the gas composition in a plant can indicate changes in time and thereby prevent prolonged outages. The continuous monitoring of hydrogen sulphide (H S) prevents 2 expensive corrosion damages of the motor by giving an alarm in case of high concentration of H S in the gas. Also the oxygen 2 concentration can be monitored to avoid explosive gas composition in the motor.®
If the power generation is subsidised, the plant operator must regularly document the gas composition and volume. The Multitec® BioControl can reliably and sustainably handle all these tasks, though dirt, deposits, moisture, corrosion and fluctuating gas compositions still pose a major challenge.
The Multitec® BioControl can also determine the gas flow rate and the gas temperature. Effects of pressure, temperature, moisture and gas composition are compensated intelligently, which results in a high accuracy of the flow volume measurement.
One system for stationary and mobile measurements
The Multitec® BioControl is a modular measuring device consisting of the Multitec® BioControl fixed installation and the mobile gas measuring device Multitec® 540 / 545.
Depending on the version of the Multitec® BioControl, the gas composition and volume can be automatically measured and monitored at up to eight measurement locations. The Multitec® 540 monitors the values at the individual measurement locations sequentially. The values are transferred to the Multitec® BioControl via an interface. The Multitec® BioControl allows easy automatic calibration and adjustment with test gas.
The Multitec® BioControl fixed installation is non-wearing and low maintenance. The maintenance is limited to regular check for dust / dirt of the filters and (i.a.) the flow meter and calibration of the mobile device. The mobile Multitec® 540 gas measuring device must be regularly maintained to guarantee accurate measuring results. It can be easily sent in for servicing. A spare device prevents disruption to operation.
