symbolizing trust and the beginning of a long-term partnership

A gas flowmeter for biogas is specifically designed to measure gas flow in environments containing high humidity, corrosive gases (H₂S), and variable methane content.

Unlike standard gas flowmeters, a biogas gas flowmeter often includes:

  • Corrosion-resistant materials
  • Moisture and condensation protection
  • Methane (CH₄) concentration measurement
  • Temperature and pressure compensation

Standard gas flowmeters may fail or lose accuracy in such harsh conditions, while specialized designs—such as ultrasonic gas flowmeters with bypass technology—maintain stable performance.

👉 This makes them essential for biogas plants, landfill gas systems, and wastewater treatment facilities.

A bypass ultrasonic gas flowmeter for biogas improves measurement accuracy by diverting a small portion of gas into a controlled measurement channel.

This design solves three major problems:

  • Moisture & condensation → water is drained through the bypass line
  • CO₂ signal attenuation → shorter path improves ultrasonic signal strength
  • H₂S corrosion → cleaner gas reaches the sensor

In large pipelines, direct measurement often suffers from unstable flow profiles. The bypass structure ensures more uniform flow and higher signal quality.

👉 This is why bypass ultrasonic technology is considered one of the most reliable solutions for gas flow measurement in harsh industrial environments.

A high-quality gas flowmeter for biogas measurement can achieve ±1.5% accuracy, even in challenging conditions.

Accuracy depends on:

  • Gas composition (CH₄ / CO₂ ratio)
  • Moisture levels and condensation
  • Flow stability and pipe size

Advanced systems using ultrasonic gas flow measurement with bypass design reduce these interferences by stabilizing the measurement environment.

Additionally, integrating temperature and pressure compensation ensures accurate standard volume (Nm³/h) calculation.

👉 This level of accuracy is suitable for energy monitoring, subsidy calculation, and industrial process control.

Yes, advanced gas flowmeters with methane concentration measurement can simultaneously measure:

  • Gas flow rate (m³/h or Nm³/h)
  • Methane (CH₄) concentration (%)
  • Total accumulated flow

This combination is especially important in biogas projects, where energy value depends on methane content rather than total gas volume.

Key benefits:

  • Prevents manipulation (e.g., adding air to increase flow readings)
  • Ensures accurate subsidy and billing calculations
  • Improves energy efficiency monitoring

👉 A gas flowmeter with CH₄ measurement provides a more complete and reliable solution for biogas flow and energy measurement systems.

A gas flowmeter for industrial gas measurement is widely used in industries where gas composition and flow must be accurately monitored.

📌 Biogas-related industries

  • Livestock farms and agricultural biogas plants
  • Landfill gas recovery systems
  • Wastewater treatment plants

📌 Industrial sectors

  • Chemical and pharmaceutical plants
  • Paper mills and fermentation industries
  • Natural gas distribution systems

In these applications, factors like corrosion, moisture, and unstable flow rates require specialized solutions such as ultrasonic gas flowmeters for biogas.

👉 Choosing the right flowmeter ensures process efficiency, regulatory compliance, and cost control.

To select the best gas flowmeter for biogas or natural gas, consider the following:

1. Gas composition
Biogas (CH₄ + CO₂ + H₂S) vs natural gas

2. Environmental conditions
Humidity, corrosion, temperature

3. Measurement requirements
Flow only vs flow + methane concentration

4. Pipe size and flow range
Match DN size and operating conditions

5. Technology type
Ultrasonic (recommended for low maintenance and harsh environments)

6. Output & communication
RS485, 4–20mA, GPRS for remote monitoring

👉 For biogas applications, a bypass ultrasonic gas flowmeter with CH₄ measurement and anti-corrosion design is often the most reliable choice.
