BioSpec VOC

Rising demand to generate biogas from varied feedstocks creates unpredictable VOC levels. BioSpec VOC is an online analyser for real-time VOC monitoring in biogas upgrading plants.

Product overview

BioSpec VOC accurately monitors ketones, terpenes, and other gases, to give operators a real-time picture of the removal of VOCs, enabling upgrading plants to be managed more efficiently. Using advanced optical absorption spectroscopy, it pinpoints the moment filters begin to saturate and prevents breakthrough events. It also helps operators extend carbon media usage, safeguard upgrading systems, and protect plant uptime, all with no carrier gases or recalibration required.

Key features

Flexible installation

Designed for both new plants and retrofits, BioSpec VOC fits seamlessly into existing operations.

Easy integration

Real time concentration data, trends, and alerts are simple to connect with biogas plant control systems.

Simple operation

Operators need no expertise. BioSpec VOC runs automatically to provide actionable insights.

Minimal maintenance

With no recalibration or carrier gases required, BioSpec VOC keeps costs down and reliability high.

Benefits of Biospec VOC

Maximise carbon filter life

Track saturation in real-time and avoid premature replacements or costly breakthrough events.

Protect upgrading equipment

Prevent VOCs from damaging membranes and PSA systems, avoiding downtime and expensive repairs.

Help ensure grid compliance

Continuous monitoring safeguards gas quality, reducing the risk of penalties or shutdowns.

Reduce operational costs

Cut unnecessary media changes, reduce consumables, and keep maintenance simple.

The risk of failing to monitor VOCs

Monitoring VOCs is essential to avoid unnecessary costs and prevent costly plant downtime. Without it, operators have little visibility into filter performance and will struggle to determine the optimal time for carbon replacement.

Replacing the activated carbon prematurely drives up operating costs; while replacing it too late allows harmful VOCs and other contaminants to pass through. This not only reduces plant efficiency and damages sensitive equipment, but also risks producing gas that falls short of grid specifications.

BioSpec VOC eliminates this uncertainty. By providing accurate, real-time monitoring, it enables operators to replace carbon exactly when needed, maximising efficiency, safeguarding equipment, reducing wasteful expenditure, and ensuring reliable plant performance and compliance.
