Pioneering Biogas Measurement Technology

The OPTISONIC 7300 Biogas is a cutting-edge ultrasonic flowmeter specifically engineered for the unique challenges of biogas, landfill, and sewage gas applications. It stands out by providing precise and reliable flow measurement for low-pressure biogas, whether dry or wet, even with high concentrations of CO2 and other media like H2S, nitrogen, hydrocarbons, or condensation water. The device’s robust design and advanced signal processing capabilities allow for the accurate detection of even small, heavily dampened acoustic signals, a crucial feature in these challenging environments. This flowmeter is more than just a tool; it’s a vital component for ensuring the efficiency and safety of renewable energy processes. It represents a significant step forward in the accurate monitoring of gas derived from organic waste, an increasingly important resource in a world seeking sustainable energy solutions.

Unmatched Durability and Measurement Accuracy

At the heart of the OPTISONIC 7300 Biogas’s performance are its corrosion-resistant titanium transducers. These transducers are designed to be insensitive to the aggressive components often found in biogas, such as H2S, ensuring a long operational life and sustained accuracy. The flowmeter’s advanced signal processing allows it to maintain a strong ultrasonic signal into the gas, providing reliable data even in conditions with high CO2 content. The device offers high accuracy, with an error of just ±1% of the measured value and ±2% for methane content, a critical metric for biogas applications. The OPTISONIC 7300 Biogas also features an integrated temperature measurement and an optional integrated pressure sensor, allowing for the precise calculation of standard volume, which is essential for accurate billing and process control.

Designed for Specific Industrial Applications

The OPTISONIC 7300 Biogas is meticulously designed to excel in a variety of specific applications within the renewable energy and waste management sectors.

• Biogas Plant Operations: It is used to measure the production of biogas from anaerobic digesters, providing critical data for optimizing digester performance and monitoring energy output.
• Landfill Gas Collection: The meter is ideal for measuring the flow of gas from landfill sites, where gas composition can vary significantly. This helps in managing gas extraction for energy conversion or flaring.
• Sewage Treatment Plants: In sewage treatment, the flowmeter is used to monitor the output of digester gas, which can be used to power the plant itself, significantly reducing operational costs.
• Biogas Upgrading Facilities: It is crucial for monitoring the flow of biogas before and after it is upgraded to biomethane, ensuring the efficiency of the upgrading process and meeting quality standards for injection into the natural gas grid.
• CHP (Combined Heat and Power) Plants: The flowmeter helps in measuring the flow of biogas used to fuel engines for electricity and heat generation, providing essential data for performance analysis and revenue calculation.

No Maintenance, No Pressure Loss, No Compromise

The OPTISONIC 7300 Biogas is engineered with a full-bore design, which means there are no moving parts or obstructions in the flow path. This is a game-changing feature in biogas applications. It eliminates pressure loss, which can lead to significant energy savings, and also means there is no wear and tear on internal components. Consequently, the flowmeter requires no periodical maintenance, a huge advantage in industrial settings where service can be difficult and costly. Its large turndown ratio of 100:1 ensures accurate measurement over a wide range of flow rates, providing versatility and reliability in fluctuating conditions. The use of lap joint flanges also contributes to a lower overall weight, simplifying installation.

Seamless Connectivity and Flexible Installation

The OPTISONIC 7300 Biogas offers a wide range of communication and installation options to fit any plant’s needs. It provides standard analog outputs (4-20 mA) and a variety of digital outputs, including FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus, HART®, and Modbus RTU. This comprehensive suite of communication protocols ensures seamless integration into a plant’s existing control system, allowing for real-time monitoring and remote diagnostics. The meter is also available as a remote version with a field converter, providing flexibility in installation and placement. Furthermore, it is suitable for use in hazardous areas (Zone 1), with relevant ATEX and cQPSus approvals, making it a safe and reliable choice for explosive atmospheres. This adaptability and robust connectivity ensure that the OPTISONIC 7300 Biogas is a future-proof investment.
