Biogas
Introduction
Gas analysis has two main aspects. Regarding the composition before use and as an environmental control to avoid health risks. Both needs specific methods and requirements.
CONCEPTS AND REQUIREMENTS
Three components are commonly analysed: Methane (CH4) Oxygen (O2) and Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), sometimes also Carbon Dioxide (CO2). CH4 and CO2 represent almost the 50% of the total volume.
The main objective for the composition analysis is to improve electrical generation maintaining the optimal values for the engine and at the same time design the best strategy to manage those gases after the process. As biogas converts Air Oxygen into CH4 and H2S the measure of residual Oxygen is interesting to be monitored. The residual Oxygen content is normally below 3% Vol. In adverse conditions the concentrations of H2S reach thousands of ppm, at this level it could cause serious damage inside the engines. Monitoring of this gas is of much importance in order to avoid failures.
ADVANTAGES
