Measure, evaluate, act
Short-chain organic acids are present in biogas not only in their liquid form in the substrate broth, but also in gaseous form. This is exactly what we use. We measure the proportion of these gaseous acids. As we avoid the time-consuming preparation of liquid samples, much closer and more frequent sampling is possible.
The acid contents determined are directly integrated into a dense, high-resolution data history of the fermenter. Precise dynamic evaluations can be derived from the visibility of this "breathing".
From this newly acquired quantity and quality of measurement data, it is only a step to well-founded action. Operator decisions are based on a more reliable data basis. Not only are critical individual cases avoided in good time, but the ongoing process can also be optimized continuously and statistically.
BIOGAS ANALYTICS
OASU SENSOR
THE HEART OF TECHNOLOGY
With our Organic Acid Sensing Unit (OASU), we are able to reproducibly measure the organic acids present in the fermentation gas.
PERMANENTLY
ON SITE
The OASU sensor takes its samples directly from the gas chamber of the fermenter, i.e. the device is permanently installed and operates permanently in your system.
AUTONOMOUS
AND SAFE
The OASU sensor independently and continuously sends measured values to the ATFO server. The analyses are subject to self-monitoring to ensure measurement quality.
OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM
SAFETY FIRST
The operator of your biogas plant is guided by our Operational Management Service in his safe course of action.
GET BETTER DIRECTLY
Our Operational Management Service provides you with data-supported recommendations for immediately realizable measures just five minutes after the measurement.
WIN ITERATIVELY
The measures implemented to optimize the fermenter can then be compared with the next measurement and its evaluation and adjusted if necessary.
