BioControl 8

Stationary biogas monitoring, 8 points

  • Monitors up to 8 measurement locations simultaneously
  • Measures up to six gases including methane, CO2 and optional O2, CO, H2, H2S
  • Extensive parameterisation of measuring cycles, intervals and limit values
  • Integration via Modbus TCP or Profibus / Profinet
  • Complete automated documentation of all measurement values
  • Enables early detection of bottlenecks and optimisation of engine efficiency
  • Fulfils the requirements of authorities and insurers

The BioControl 8 provides comprehensive gas monitoring at up to eight measurement locations, with precise analyses for methane, carbon dioxide and other gases. Integrated flow and temperature measurement enables optimal control of biogas production, and automated documentation simplifies both operation and compliance. Extensive parameterisation and integration via Modbus TCP, Profibus or Profinet make it the top choice for larger plants.
