As global oil prices remain high, countries around the globe are seeking renewable energy sources to increase energy efficiency and security. Among the sources of renewable energy is the production of biogas from landfill gas (LFG) or digester gas.
To monetise biogas and create the most efficient fuel sources, it is critical to accurately measure how much biogas is produced in each stage of the process. This biogas boom has created an opportunity for industrial gas measurement companies.
Many flow measurement companies with varying technologies are interested in measuring the biogas as it leaves the landfill or digester tank, but precise biogas measurement is an inherently challenging application with its changing gas composition, low pressure and dirty, wet gas that can clog up devices like annubars, orifice plates, turbine meters and other similar instruments.
