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.

Key Features

Multi-location monitoring Up to 8 locations with up to eight flowmeters.

Gas measurement Methane, CO2 and up to four additional gases.

Network integration Modbus TCP, Profibus and Profinet compatible.

Data documentation Automatic saving and export of all measured values.

Substrate optimisation Real-time plant efficiency calculation.
