Rapidox 5100 Portable Biogas Analyser

Product Information

The Rapidox 5100 Biogas Analyser is a high specification and mobile instrument designed for the analysis and calculation of calorific value for biogas produced from the anaerobic digestion of organic materials.

The Rapidox 5100 Biogas Analyser can be used at a fertilisation plant, landfill site, farm, sewage plant or laboratory to measure and print-out the results for both gas content (CH4 / H2S / O2 / CO2) and energy content (calorific value, CV) for biogas produced in a digester from biomass; this obviates the need to collect separate samples in Tedlar bags and sending then to a laboratory for third-party analysis in order to determine the calorific value of the biogas, as all results are obtained on site. Another advantage is that the Rapidox 5100 Biogas Analyser can be moved from site to site and used as required.

Product Information

Gas flow from a sampling probe (directly from the digester), sampling bag (off-line analysis) or the pipework (on-line analysis) is regulated manually via a rotary knob on the analyser fascia and displayed on the screen, together with the individual gas component concentrations and the calculated calorific value of the biogas being sampled. All data is continuously logged for review and inspection and Excel compatible data can be downloaded via a USB memory stick.

The Rapidox 5100 Biogas analyser is a mobile field instrument yet still maintains full laboratory functionality – with no compromises being made because of its portability – and incorporates the following features:

Features

  • A full battery life greater than 8 hours on a full charge (6 hours)
  • A heavy-duty IP66 case for extra protection
  • A weight of only 7kg, making it easier to move around when out in the field
  • Integrated thermal printer to provide a copy of results instantly.
  • 7″ full-colour touchscreen
  • Password protection
  • Continuous data logging downloaded via USB
  • Multi-language
  • Charges on worldwide mains voltage
