Continuous biogas composition and landfill gas analyser ZPAF

Biogas composition analysis systems play an essential role in the wastewater treatment (WWTP), waste treatment and incinerator industries, biomass fuel producers and agriculture. They monitor the composition of biogas , such as methane, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide or oxygen. Plants can thus guarantee the quality of the biogas they produce, ensure the safety of biomethane production and comply with environmental standards.

How does a biogas analyser work?

To measure the composition of biogas, a biogas analyser uses different analytical methods depending on the component to be analyzed.

How do you measure methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in biogas?

how to measure methane in biogas

CO2 and CH4 are measured using non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) absorption technology.
The measurement principle of an infrared gas analyser (NDIR) is presented on the page dedicated to Fuji Electric infrared multi-gas analysers .

How do you measure oxygen (O2) in biogas?

how to measure oxygen in biogas diagram

O2 is measured electrochemically.

The measurement principle of the electrochemical O2 cell is as follows:

Two electrodes are enclosed in the electrolyte-filled cell. When biogas enters the cell, a chemical reaction takes place, generating a flow of electrons and therefore an electric current, proportional to the amount of oxygen present in the biogas.

How do you continuously measure hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in biogas?

how to continuously measure hydrogen sulfide diagram

H2Sis measured by the electrolytic method at constant potential.

Two chemical reactions are required for this method.
As it passes through the cell, at the working electrode, theH2Sto be measured reacts with the moisture (H2O) also present.

Reaction at the working electrode
H2S+ 4H2O-> H2SO4 + 8H+ + 8e-

In parallel, at the auxiliary electrode, a second reaction takes place between the oxygen (O2) also present and the hydrogen ions (H+) generated by the first reaction.

Reaction at auxiliary electrode
O2 + 4H+ + 4E- -> 2H20

The flow of electrons varies proportionally to the quantity ofH2Spresent in the cell.

For the 2 reactions to take place, the cell must contain not only theH2Sto be measured, but also a minimum of oxygen and humidity.

TheFuji Electric ZPAFanalyser measuresH2Scontinuously, as it is equipped with an automaticH2Scell regeneration system.

Since theH2Scell uses the constant potential electrolytic method, it is imperative to include oxygen and moisture in the gas to be analyzed. Thanks to this automatic regeneration system, ambient air is supplied to the sensor at regular intervals to enable analysis of the biogas, which is often oxygen-free and dried before analysis.
