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.

To measure the composition of biogas, a biogas analyser uses different analytical methods depending on the component being analyzed.
CO2 andCH4 are measured using non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology.
The measurement principle of an infrared gas analyser (NDIR) is explained on the page dedicated to Fuji Electric ’s infrared multig analysers .
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.
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 electron flow varies in proportion to the amount ofH2Spresent in the cell.
For both reactions to occur, the cell must therefore contain not only theH2Sto be measured, but also a minimum amount of oxygen and moisture.
The Fuji Electric ZPAFanalyser continuously measuresH₂Sbecause it is equipped with an automatic regeneration system for theH₂Smeasurement cell.
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.
Fuji Electric is helping to preserve our environment, develop renewable energies and save energy.
Precise continuous measurement of biogas composition. Up to 4 components including H₂S measured continuously and simultaneously.
H2S - CH4 - CO2 - O2 - Pressure - Temperature - Flow rate
Analysis cabinet - wall-mounted box
Biogas production and treatment sites present environmental constraints in terms of corrosivity and toxicity (presence ofH2S), explosivity (presence of CH4), but also potentially high thermal stress and presence of dust.
