BIOGAS 5000 – Portable Biogas Analyzer for Process Optimisation

Stable gas production requires reliable insight into what happens inside the digester and upgrading process.

The BIOGAS 5000 portable analyzer provides accurate measurement of methane, carbon dioxide, oxygen and trace gases directly in the field. Operators can verify gas composition, troubleshoot process changes and optimise plant performance without interrupting operations.

Through Norsk Analyse, the instrument can be configured to match your plant setup and monitoring routines.

Portable Gas Measurement for Daily Plant Operation

The BIOGAS 5000 is designed for engineers and operators who need reliable gas data during plant operation.

Using infrared technology for methane and carbon dioxide combined with electrochemical sensors for oxygen and trace gases, the analyzer delivers stable measurements across a wide range of biogas applications.

Its portable design allows measurements to be taken at multiple sampling points across the plant – from digester output to upgrading systems and gas storage.

This provides valuable insight into how process changes affect gas quality and production efficiency.
