| German title: | Entwicklung eines Ammoniak-Sensorsystems zur Verwendung für die Stationäre Inline-Messung des Ammoniakgehaltes und einer Möglichkeit zur Signalverstärkung sowie eines Temperaturmanagementsystems mit zugehörigem Gasseparator für optimale Messbedingungen | |
| Acronym: | AmmoniaSense | |
| Duration: | 1st January 2021 - 31st December 2023 | |
| Description: | The aim is to develop a measuring system with associated gas conditioning for continuous inline measurement of the ammonia content in the range of 0.1-20000 ppm with an accuracy of ±0.1 ppm in conjunction with the hydrogen sulfide content in biogas plants to prevent ammonia contamination and thus destruction of the biogas engine or combined heat and power plant. Due to the gas conditioning system with associated dilution system, the ammonia content can be measured independently of the plant management and thus the gas composition. For the flexible integration of the complete system into existing biogas plants, a universal adapter module system is being developed to enable gas sampling for targeted transfer to the measuring device. An automated biogas plant control system is being developed for the proactive addition of additives to reduce the ammonia content in order to guarantee optimum biogas or methane production depending on the substrate composition. This makes it possible to introduce residual materials such as chicken manure to the maximum extent without resulting in ammonia poisoning of the digester. | |
