Biogas Analyzer
BioGas Analyzer
The BE MAQ 001 series of gas analyzers by AMB it’s the ideal solution for biogas measurement and industrial combustion applications because of their accuracy, stability, reliability, broad measurement range, and the variety of available form factors. Unlike other analyzers, BE MAQ 001 non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) gas analyzers measure multiple gases in an instrument with a single optical path platform. Single-gas analyzers are inadequate when using methane as a biofuel because the gas often contains large amounts of CO as a contaminant. AMB analyzers have the ability to measure CO2, CO, and 02 in addition to methane and therefore provide the optimal combination of gases for combustion optimization. The enhanced optics and electronics of our NDIR analyzers have virtually eliminated zero drift after the initial warm up period. The temperature and pressure compensation eliminates the major causes of span drift in many NDIR instruments. Unlike other analyzers, the BE MAQ 001 utilizes non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology to measure multiple gases with a single optical path. When measuring methane as a biofuel, single-gas analyzers are inadequate due to interference from large amounts of CO present.
