BioControl 4

Stationary biogas monitoring, 4 points

  • Monitors up to four measurement locations simultaneously
  • Measures up to six gases including optional O2, CO, H2, H2S
  • Detects gas volume, temperature and flow rate
  • Flexible configuration of measuring cycles and limit values
  • Modbus TCP as standard, with further fieldbus options available
  • Calculates plant efficiency and optimises substrate use
  • Automated documentation for regulatory compliance
  • Compatible with mobile measuring devices (Multitec 540 / 545)

The BioControl 4 simultaneously monitors up to four measurement locations and provides precise gas analyses for methane, carbon dioxide and other gases. Additional flow and temperature measurement at every point supports optimal control of biogas production, while automated documentation simplifies operation and regulatory compliance. Standard Modbus TCP plus optional fieldbus modules make integration into existing plant control systems straightforward.
