n the past,waste management was often seen as a problem rather than an opportunity.However,with the rise of biogas technology,organic waste is now being viewed as a valuable resource.Biogas,which is produced from the decomposition of organic matter,can be used to generate electricity,heat,and even fuel for vehicles. But how do we ensure that we are getting theContinue reading “From Waste to Resource:How Biogas Analyzers are Helping to Turn Organic Matter into Valuable Energy”

Collecting and using biogas from landfills
Landfills for municipal solid waste are a source of biogas. Biogas is produced naturally by anaerobic bacteria in municipal solid waste landfills and is called landfill gas. Landfill gas with a high methane content can be dangerous to people and the environment because methane is flammable. Methane is also a strong greenhouse gas. Biogas containsContinue reading “Collecting and using biogas from landfills”
Biogas made from biomass
Biogas is an energy-rich gas produced by anaerobic decomposition or thermochemical conversion of biomass. Biogas is composed mostly of methane (CH4), the same compound in natural gas, and carbon dioxide (CO2). The methane content of raw (untreated) biogas may vary from 40%–60%, with CO2 making up most of the remainder along with small amounts ofContinue reading “Biogas made from biomass”
Collecting and Treating Landfill Gas
Instead of escaping into the air, LFG can be captured, converted, and used as a renewable energy resource. Using LFG helps to reduce odors and other hazards associated with LFG emissions, and prevents methane from migrating into the atmosphere and contributing to local smog and global climate change. In addition, LFG energy projects generate revenueContinue reading “Collecting and Treating Landfill Gas”
