Biogas Batch Fermentation System for Laboratory Use with Automatic Gas Analysis in Real Time

Together with the company Dr.-Ing. Ritter Apparatebau GmbH & Co. KG from Bochum (https://www.ritter.de), Wi.Tec-Sensorik GmbH has developed a new type of biogas batch fermentation system that can be used to operate up to 18 different fermentation vessels. The fermentation vessels are regulated to the desired temperature (e.g. 37°C) in an air thermostat. Each individual fermentation vessel is equipped with a separate flow measurement (MilliGascounter) and a high-precision gas analyser to record the CO₂ and CH₄ concentrations. The parallel measurement eliminates time shifts, such as those that inevitably occur when switching between individual fermentation vessels. Furthermore, continuous measurement results are obtained, which contribute to a more precise analysis of the fermentation process. This measurement option was made possible by using the proven INFRA.sens technology.
