The new Biomethane 3000 fixed analyzer (photo) is designed for high-accuracy methane and oxygen readings for biomethane applications, including biogas upgrading and anaerobic digestion. The Biomethane 3000provides continual measurement of methane, carbon dioxide and oxygen with a user-definable fourth gas reading of hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen or carbon monoxide. The analyzer provides quality readings above the 95% methane level and below the 1% oxygen level at first-stage production. Customizable to site requirements, the Biomethane 3000 protects operators from oxygen issues while preventing the risk of injecting poor-quality gas into the grid network. With its modular design, the analzyer enables hot swapping for serviceability and onsite maintenance, minimizing operational downtime. Built with an IP65-rated enclosure, the Biomethane 3000 is certified for use in potentially-explosive atmospheres (ATEX) and IEC System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Explosive Atmospheres (IECEx) Zone 2 areas. A variety of communication options are available, including Modbus RTU and optional Process Field Bus (PROFIBUS), Process Field Net (PROFINET) and ethernet communication protocols. — Q.E.D.
