Automatic parallel online determination of (bio)methane potential is essential to ensure the effectivity of biogas production. Yieldmaster simplifies the search for the right substrae and guarantees maximums yields for your biogas process. Using Yieldmaster minimum gas flows are not necesseray. The Yieldmaster (BCS-CH4 biogas) consists of CH4 infrared gas sensors, precision volumeters and BAcVis or BlueVis software. It can be used from small vessels (500mL) up to big lab fermenters. Data is recorded consistently. Using date from the integrated temperature measurement BacVis or BlueVis calculate the standard volume automatically. Sensors measure directly in the fermenter which means no data is lost and errors caused by gas leakage etc. are minimized. The compensating reservoir device guarantees complete measurement under all circumstances. In combination with BlueVCount (Yieldmaster 2.0) simultaneous measurement of methane and gas volumes is feasable.

The robust BCP-CH4 methane sensor is based on infrared gas measurement techique and is available in 2 different wavelengths. Minimum flow is not needed and it can be integrated directly into the gas pipe. A gas cooling is no longer required. Monthly adjustment can be done with fresh air. The sensor is longterm stable and IP65 accredited. The production of methane in biogas plants (methane digester) can be monitored by the BCP-CH4 sensor which helps to optimize the process control. By using BCP-CH4 in block heat and power plants the actual efficiency can be determined.

BlueVCount measures gas volumes in reactions of all kind. It is applicable for fermentations, degradation studies, substrate comparison studies, wastewater treatment, bioethanol or hydrogen production and is especially helpful in bio methane potential (BMP) determinations in industry and academia. Gas volume measurement delivers important information about the process and helps to optimize yields and process procedures. BlueVCount is a volume measuring unit with a 1 ml cylinder that is equipped with an oil (special) sealed magnetic piston. It counts how often 1 ml gas comes through the cylinder and reports it to the integrated display or via Modbus RTU to a software (e.g. BlueVIS). A minimum flow is not necessary.
