Dual Detection, Maximum Efficiency: How Dynament Sensors Optimize Biogas Monitoring

Biogas

As the world moves toward cleaner energy solutions, biogas is proving to be a key player in the renewable energy mix. Derived from organic waste through anaerobic digestion, it reduces environmental impact and offers a valuable energy source, especially when optimized effectively.

Precise gas monitoring is essential to getting the most out of biogas. It ensures safe operations, improves system efficiency, and helps meet environmental compliance targets. This is where Dynament Dual Gas Sensors come into play. They offer reliable, real-time monitoring of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) in even the harshest environments.

Why Monitoring Biogas Composition Matters

Biogas primarily consists of methane and carbon dioxide, but the ratio between them can vary depending on feedstock, process conditions, and digester performance. Monitoring both gases simultaneously offers several advantages:

  • Improves digestion efficiency – Track how well organic materials are being broken down.
  • Optimizes methane yield – More methane means more energy.
  • Controls emissions – Better understanding of CO₂ output aids in reducing environmental impact.

  • However, biogas environments aren’t easy on sensors. Biogas systems often involve high humidity, corrosive gases like hydrogen sulfide, and fluctuating gas compositions. Conventional sensors can struggle under these conditions, resulting in drift, downtime, or frequent recalibrations. Operators need monitoring solutions that deliver accurate, stable data continuously, without excessive maintenance.


    Dynament Dual Gas Sensors: Built for the Challenge

    Designed specifically for demanding gas environments, Dynament’s dual gas sensor platform offers a modern solution that meets the complex needs of today’s biogas applications.

    Key Features:

  • NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) technology for reliable gas-specific detection.
  • Simultaneous CH₄ and CO₂ measurement, reducing system complexity.
  • Compact, rugged design that mitigates impact from high-moisture, corrosive environments.
  • Long sensor lifespan, with no consumables or frequent calibrations.
  • Fast response time, enabling real-time monitoring and quicker decision-making

  • The result? Less downtime, fewer maintenance issues, and more confidence in your data.


    The Power of Dual Detection

    Using one sensor to monitor both CH₄ and CO₂ provides a significant performance boost for biogas systems:

  • Get real-time insights into gas composition and process trends.
  • Fine-tune operations to maximize energy output and minimize waste
  • Enhance safety by detecting potentially dangerous gas levels before they become critical.
  • Stay compliant with emissions regulations and reporting standards.
  • Cut costs by reducing calibration frequency and service interruptions.

  • With Dynament, dual gas monitoring becomes a streamlined, efficient part of your process.
