Protect those who bring us energy
A rapidly growing industry
Biogas, produced by anaerobic digestion, is a raw gas composed mainly of methane and carbon dioxide, but also containing traces of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), ammonia, siloxanes, and residual oxygen. Saturated with water vapor, this gas is highly corrosive and poses a high risk of explosion.
These characteristics make it a particularly demanding industrial environment.
Facilities must guarantee the safety of operators, the compliance of biomethane injected into the network, and the energy performance of processes. In this context, sensors play a central role and must combine robustness, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
The biogas industry is experiencing rapid growth driven by the energy transition. The agricultural sector is also heavily involved in converting agricultural waste into biogas, thereby supplying the electricity grid.
