Novel Method for Assessing Biogas Production ID: 2016-033

A groundbreaking approach to biogas production assessment that significantly reduces sample size and analysis time.

Technology Overview

This innovative technology utilizes small ampules filled with substrates and bacteria, sealed and monitored in an isothermal calorimeter to assess biogas production. It introduces a novel method for real-time monitoring of heat flow, gas pressure, pH, and gas composition, leveraging transducers and custom software for data collection.

Key Advantages

• Drastically reduces the required sample size from gallons to milliliters
• Shortens the analysis timeframe from over a month to within a week
• Enables continuous real-time data collection on key parameters
• Scalable ports allow for versatile measurement of variables

Problems Addressed

• Lengthy and resource-intensive traditional biomethane potential (BMP) tests
• Lack of continuous data collection in existing methods
• High sample size requirements leading to increased material and operational costs
