micro-flow NDIRfor air quality monitoringfor process measurement

The MicroFLOW CH4 .select 10 Vol.-% sensor is suitable for a wide range of demanding applications that require precision and reliability. FIELDS OF APPLICATION Environmental technology: In composting plants, the analysis of methane is important to monitor the anaerobic decomposition process. Methane is a significant by-product of this process and serves as an indicator of the efficiency of the plant. Continuous monitoring makes it possible to optimize process parameters, control operations and ensure that the plant operates in compliance with environmental regulations. Precise measurement of methane concentrations in biogas plants enables targeted adjustment of process conditions to ensure maximum gas yield. Industry: In petrochemical plants for the further processing of fossil raw materials, fast and precise detection of leaks ensures that potentially dangerous methane leaks are detected at an early stage. Furthermore, the MicroFLOW CH4 .select 10 Vol.-% can be used to test the quality and purity of natural gas in order to comply with methane content specifications. Plant cultivation: Methane is an indicator of biological activity in the soil but also a greenhouse gas. CH4 is monitored because it can influence plant growth in the soil atmosphere. By accurately measuring methane concentrations, environmental impacts can also be assessed and measures taken to reduce emissions.
