Panametrics XMTC gas transmitter monitors biomethane separation efficiency

Before biogas can be injected into the national gas network, sulfur, moisture and carbon dioxide are removed.
The efficiency of separating CO2 from the bio methane must be monitored and also the methane purity measured before it can be injected into the gas network.

The XMTC gas transmitter measures the thermal conductivity of binary gas mixtures (CO2 in CH4 and also CH4 in CO2) and sends out a 4-20 mA signal proportional to one of the gases in the gas mixture.
The efficiency of the (membrane) separation technology is thus monitored and can be adjusted if necessary.

The XMTC gas transmitter is part of a complete multi-stream gas analysis system for upgrading biomethane.
