Bio gas online control

Scandinavian Analytics is – in co-operation with Aalborg University probably alone in being able to analyze the process of fermentation inline in a biogas plant, and thus give the background for a 20-30 % larger output.

By re-circulating the bio mass from the bottom to the top of the tank, we achieve the possibility of analyzing as representative a sample as possible.

The fermentation, which produces methane from manure and other organic substances, is a very difficult process to control. That is why basically all plants today run 20-30 % below the optimal level in order to make sure, that the process doesn’t kill itself.

Based on a co-operation with Aalborg University (Esbjerg) it is now possible to do online control of the bio mass, and by measuring the VFA give a warning up to 24 hours ahead, that you should change the composition of your tank.

This makes it a very profitable investment – The larger production you can allow yourself by knowing the development of the fermentation will in most cases give you a pay back in about a year.

The concept has been Tried at Linkogas Amba, where trials are ongoing.

u  Bio fuels
The quality of bio fuel is decisive for the acceptance in the market.

In Europe CEN 14214 and PrEN 15376:2006 must be adhered to, and our post-dispersive NIR can with at very high degree of accuracy measure key parameters like for instance Moisture, Glycerine, FAEE and FAME.

NREL in USA is one of our more important partners. They have succeeded in developing a wide range of calibrations needed for the production and trade with bio diesel and bio ethanol.
