Biogas Generation
GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION NETWORK
Biogas is an extremely valuable renewable energy resource and is becoming increasingly
more important in reducing our reliance on fossil fuels to produce energy. The main
combustible component, like natural gas, is methane (CH4) which can power an engine
generator. Monitoring of oxygen levels within the process is required to ensure anaerobic
conditions are maintained in the digester and that the methane/oxygen mix does not
reach explosive levels. If increasing oxygen levels are detected then it indicates an air
leak into the system with the likely risk of a potential explosive hazard. Other gases
present include hydrogen sulphide( H2S), a highly toxic and corrosive gas that needs to
be monitored to prevent plant damage and health risks.

Biogas Analysis
A member of the
MTL Instruments Group
Hitech Instruments in association with its parent company Measurement
Technology Ltd, specialise in the manufacture of hazardous area (ATEX)
certified biogas analysers, wireless communications and surge protection
equipment for anaerobic digester (AD) plant installations.
In 2009 Hitech moved into the new purpose built factory of our parent
company MTL where Hitech have their own dedicated instrument assembly
line, calibration laboratories and sensor manufacturing areas. This coupled
with a brand new pcb flow soldering facility, means that Hitech are almost
totally self sufficient in terms of the manufacture of proprietary components
used in their range of gas analysers.
