Biogas measurement techniques and the associated errors

2011

There are several techniques for the measurement of laboratory scale biogas production. This thesis describes the study and evaluation of the most significant and commonly used biogas measurement techniques and analyzes the source of errors associated with the measurement of biogas production. Firstly, inaccuracy mainly due to biogas carbon dioxide (CO₂) dilution in displaceable liquids and losses to atmosphere of dissolved CO₂ was evaluated by testing solubility of CO₂ in different barrier solutions. Saturated acidified brine solution showed lower CO₂ solubility among the tested solutions. An accurate, simple, automated and easy to calibrate laboratory scale liquid displacement gas measuri…
