Biogas processes – from anaerobic digestion to microbial gas formation – require precise tracking of gas volume, gas composition, and process yields. Small deviations in data can significantly affect research outcomes.
Why RITTER Technology Matters
Volumetric Gas Measurement for Biological Systems
RITTER drum-type meters and MilliGascounters® are widely used in biogas research because they offer:
- Drift-free measurements
- Exact volumetric data independent of gas composition
- Stable long-term monitoring
- Compatibility with humid and low-pressure gases
Advanced »MultiGas« Modules (NDIR/NDUV)
In tabletop systems, RITTER integrates Wi.Tec’s infrared (NDIR) and ultraviolet (NDUV) technology to measure:
- CH₄
- CO₂
- H₂S (depending on module)
- NH₃
- O₂ (as reference)
This provides a complete view of digestion performance and gas quality.
Typical Applications
- Microbial digestion research
- Plant-scale simulation
- CH₄/CO₂ ratio monitoring
- Closed-loop environmental chambers
- Pilot biogas reactors
- Kinetic and yield analysis
