Biomethane is an important source of green and renewable energy.
To allow it to be injected into the natural gas grid or used as a vehicle fuel, it must meet the required quality standards for natural gas.
Timely and accurate measurement of biomethane energy is of paramount importance for users and distributors.
MicroGC technology offers ideal capabilities for rapid and accurate online analysis of biomethane and calorific value measurements.
Minor organic contaminants such as hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, terpenes, and ketones, as well as biomethane odorant, can be determined.
Micro GC system software plays an important role: it must be flexible and allow for sampling transmission, data communication, and data analysis management.
The SRA Instruments R990 M MicroGC has obtained metrological certification from the LNE (National Testing Laboratory) according to the international recommendation OIML R140:2007 (OIML = International Organization of Legal Metrology).
This guarantees the reliability and reproducibility of results and the safety of operating conditions.
The metrological certification covers the energy measurement of biomethane and natural gas with hydrogen.
