The idea is as simple as it is ingenious: Mix the unloved liquid manure with corn silage, let bacteria work and use the methane gas produced to generate electricity and heat.<\/p>\n

Renewable energy sources<\/strong> are inexhaustible. In times of scarce energy resources and climate change, the focus is on new energy sources. Biogas has proven to be a very good alternative in natural energy production.<\/p>\n

When constructing biogas plants<\/a>, one of the top 5 German companies in the renewable energy sector<\/strong> pays attention not only to modern process technology, but also to reliable methane gas monitoring in addition.<\/p>\n

During the fermentation process, gas leaks<\/strong> can occur at any time and cause catastrophic damage in the event of ignition.<\/p>\n

For the production of biogas, excrements of farm animals are mixed with plants. The mixture is processed into a kind of liquid manure in the corresponding fermentation plant<\/strong>. Millions of bacteria now swarm in this mixture and slowly decompose it.<\/p>\n

This process causes methane gas to form. It is ignitable<\/strong> and can drive corresponding motors, which in turn set dynamos in motion that ultimately generate electricity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For successful gas monitoring with specified SIL requirements, the stationary PolyXeta\u00ae2 gas detector<\/a><\/strong> from MSR-Electronic with the innovative exchangeable sensor<\/a> is used.<\/p>\n

The microprocessor-based gas sensor with output signal as well as alarm and fault relays (all SIL2 certified) monitors the ambient air for combustible gases and vapours by means of a catalytic pellistor sensor element<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The 4\u201320 mA \/ RS-485 Modbus output signal makes the sensor suitable for connection to the PolyGard\u00ae2 gas controller series from MSR-Electronic as well as to other MSR controllers or automation devices.<\/p>\n

As an option, the PolyXeta\u00ae2 sensor is also available with LCD and relay output. Individual customer configuration<\/strong>, e.g. for alarm thresholds and relay assignments, is possible as well.<\/p>\n

Re-calibration on site<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

For PolyXeta\u00ae2 sensors from MSR-Electronic without LCD, calibration is performed via the handy calibration device<\/strong> STL06-PGX2 or the PC software<\/strong> PCE06-PGX2.<\/p>\n

Sensors with LCD have an integrated calibration routine<\/strong> that is started from the outside with a permanent magnet without opening the housing. For sensors with LCD, the background lighting changes from green to red in case of alarm or error.<\/p>\n

The exchangeable sensors thus enable simple and time-saving calibration on site<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
