Biogas is normally used to describe the gas produced by the biological breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Biogas primarily consists of methane and carbon dioxide and is often used today as a source of energy. The commercial process involves the anaerobic digestion or fermentation of biodegradable materials such as sewage, manure, domestic and commercial waste, and plants. Other types of biogas include wood gas which is created by gasification of wood or other biomass.

As the demand for this alternative environmentally friendly energy grows, the need for accurate measurement and detection is essential. Scienco has developed a range of gas detectors and analysis services for the accurate measurement of the methane, carbon dioxide, water and other trace components. Services also include compliance with the gas safety management regulations and odorisation.
