Innovative biogas measurement instrument scoops Instrumentation Excellence Award

Vaisala were recently awarded first prize at the Instrumentation Excellence Awards, in the gas detection category, for their MGP261 device, a cutting-edge 3-in-1 measurement innovation for biogas production that enables operators to get more value from waste. 

The MGP261 measures methane, humidity and temperature within the biogas process pipeline without sampling, even in harsh, industrial environments. 

Vaisala’s Product Manager Antti Heikkilä stated “This unique new technology represents a major breakthrough for the operators of biogas plants. Not only are they able to control biogas production more efficiently, and at a lower cost with this instrument, but they can also improve the quality of the biogas. By helping to improve efficiency and financial performance, this technology is also contributing to the fight against climate change. Anaerobic digestion turns waste into renewable energy and reduces dependency on fossil fuels, which is even more important in an energy crisis.”
