Biogas 401 | Multi-Channel Gas Analyser


Application  

The Biogas analyser monitors either continuously or intermittently, the gas components contained in the Biogas and optionally, monitors the surrounding air to provide an early warning of dangerous, explosive and non-combustible gases and vapours.
Fields of Application  

  • Monitoring of Biogas components
  • Warning of explosive gas mixtures
  • Warning of gases that endanger health
  • Warning of non-combustible gases
  • Dedicated for processes with high humidity levels
  • Multiple use for alarm values
Measurable gases  

Gas Formula
Hydrogen sulphide H2S
Methane CH4
Oxygen O2
Carbon dioxide CO2
Hydrogen H2

other gases by request
Accessories  

Signal horn, warning light, warning banner, plotter.

Other accessories will be offered, according to the measurement tasks required.
