Rapid Changes in Biogas Analysis

Biogas analysis requirements are changing. Designed for future proofing in gas analysers helps users keep up. It means they can quickly and easily upgrade their newly purchased products with new features anywhere in the world, anytime with online downloads available from Geotech (UK).

Positive global customer feedback on the new Geotech range of biogas and landfill gas analysers launched in early 2012 prompts the second set of new developments. This Geotech rapid response on the GA5000 landfill gas analyser and the BIOGAS 5000 especially suits users in countries with changing operational and legislative conditions.

Commenting Geotech sales manager, Simon Sheridan, said, “At Geotech we are dedicated to listening to our users and our distributors in every country and responding with speed to supply gas analysis with the capability they specifically need. That is very evident from these new enhancements. Our continued developments, packaged up as a single download, ensure we are meeting the needs of widely varying applications.”

Landfill gas analyser users can now optionally analyse up to six gases with the GA5000. Analysis of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) is standard and the choice of options includes carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and hydrogen (H2).

The new faster operational sequence offers greater efficiency and productivity through monitoring more wells and achieving more readings each day. Users can choose to have users prompts on or off and or a very quick ‘simple gas’ reading option.

Users can now have up thirty sample-point IDs on the display screen in easy-to-read grid view, up from five IDs before. That helps with increased speed for users while maintaining precision and accuracy in operation.

Specially developed for research/pilot plant studies, universities and research institutes, data logging enables continuous timed monitoring of mixed-gas output. Geotech has now added this to its 5000 range of portable landfill gas and biogas analysers and already offers this on its CO2 gas analysers for incubator verification and the nitrous oxide (N2O) medical gas analyser range.
