Vaisala MGP261 3-in-1 biogas measurement instrument

The Vaisala MGP261 is a 3-in-1 biogas measurement instrument that gives continuous readings of methane, carbon dioxide and water vapor directly in the biogas process pipeline. It is Ex certified up to Zone 0 inside pipes and Zone 1 outside, which means it can be installed in explosive atmospheres.

It is optimised for biogas production processes, such as anaerobic digestion of waste from agriculture, industries and municipalities, and the utilisation of landfill gas.

The biogas measurement instrument offers real-time gas composition without sample extraction or treatment. With stable methane measurement, the compact instrument helps biogas plant operators gain comprehensive control over their process and optimise their combined heat and power (CHP) engine performance. The instrument also enables operators to control humidity in order to reduce wear in the CHP engines and process components.

It is easy to use and install, and it can be fitted to any existing system. The in situ installation makes sample treatment unnecessary, enabling measurements without any sampling lines, pumps or moisture removal traps.
