Product catalog summary
Overview
The BioBasic Biomethane is an advanced online gas analyzer designed for the continuous monitoring of biomethane quality at treatment and grid injection plants. It measures methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at one-second intervals, providing rapid feedback to complement traditional process gas chromatographs.

Application
This analyzer is used to monitor the quality of biomethane directly at the transfer point to the gas network. Unlike process gas chromatographs that provide readings every few minutes, the BioBasic offers real-time measurements every second, allowing for immediate detection of quality fluctuations and quick system adjustments to maintain network specifications.

Advantages
  • Rapid measurement response within one second.
  • Utilizes NDIR dual-beam method for CH4 and CO2, ensuring high long-term stability.
  • H2S measurement employs NDUV with a reference detector, offering sensitive and wear-free operation.
  • Features automatic, error-monitored calibration.
  • Plug & Play operation via a touch panel with error messages displayed in plain text.
  • Flexible data transmission options including 4–20 mA and fieldbus.
  • Available in a pump-free version.

Areas of Application
  • Biomethane feed-in systems
  • Gas network transfer stations
  • Biogas upgrading
  • Power-to-Gas / SNG systems

Technical Specifications
  • Measurement Technology: CH4/CO2 via NDIR dual-beam, O2 via electrochemical, H2S via NDUV.
  • Measurement Ranges: CH4 (90–100 vol.%), CO2 (0–10 vol.%), O2 (0–30 vol.%), H2S (0–100 ppm).
  • Resolution: CH4 (0.1 vol.%), CO2 (0.01 vol.%), O2 (0.05 vol.%), H2S (0.1 ppm).
  • Measurement Interval: Continuous, every second.
  • Temperature Compensation: 5–45 °C, with temperature-stabilized sensing cells at 45 °C.
  • Gas Transport: Internal sample gas pump at 4l/min, with an optional pump-free version.
  • Calibration: Automatic with test and zero gas, adjustable intervals.
  • Operating Voltage: Standard 230 V AC / 50 Hz, with alternatives available.
  • Protection Class: IP 54, suitable for indoor installation in dehumidified environments.
  • Display: 128 × 64 pixels touchscreen, black and white.
  • Data Interfaces: Standard 4–20 mA analogue output, with optional digital interfaces like Profibus DP, Profinet, Ethernet IP, Modbus TCP.

Safety and Compliance
  • ATEX-certified flame arrester at the measurement gas inlet.
  • UL Listed / CSA Listed for safety compliance.

BioBasic Biomethane Data Sheet-1

CH4 | CO2 | O2 | H2S The BioBasic Biomethane is a combined online gas analyser for the rapid, continuous monitoring of biomethane quality at treatment and grid injection plants. It measures CH4, CO2, O2 and H2S at one-second intervals — serving as a rapid, process-close complement to the process gas chromatograph. APPLICATION The BioBasic Biomethane monitors the quality of the product gas following biogas processing — directly at the point of transfer to the gas network. Whilst the process gas chromatograph used for calibration only provides a reading every few minutes, the BioBasic takes measurements every second and immediately highlights any fluctuations in quality — this allows the processing system to be quickly readjusted and ensures that the gas fed into the network remains within the network specifications. • Measurement in a matter of seconds (1 s) — rapid process response • NDIR dual-beam method (CH4/ CO2), high long-term stability • H2S measurement using NDUV with a reference detector — sensitive, wear-free • Automatic, error-monitored calibration • Plug & Play, operated via touch panel • Errors/faults displayed in plain text on the in-house display • Flexible data transmission (4–20 mA / fieldbus) • Optional pump-free version • Biomethane feed-in systems • Gas network transfer stations • Biogas upgrading • Power-to-Gas / SNG Fresenius Umwelttechnik GmbH Doncaster-Platz 5 [email protected] www.fresenius-ut.com
