The importance of renewable energy sources for a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy supply is steadily increasing. In times where moving away from fossil fuels has become essential, alternative forms of energy such as solar, wind, water, and biomass energy are increasingly coming into focus. They form the foundation of a successful and future-oriented energy transition and represent a sector with dynamic growth potential. The challenges within this industry are as diverse as the range of renewable energy sources: from the need to ensure operational safety in wind turbines through precise monitoring of hydraulic systems, cooling of generators, or oil cooling of transformers, to the specific requirement for highly resilient components in hydroelectric power plants, the demands for the highest purity standards in solar panel construction, and the resistance to seawater in wave power plants, to special requirements regarding cleanability and corrosion resistance in biogas plants. This diversity underscores the need to develop tailored and innovative solutions that enable efficient, reliable, and sustainable utilization of renewable energy sources, thereby making a significant contribution to reducing CO2 emissions and protecting the environment.

▷ Biogas Plants

Process instrumentation and analytics in biogas plants play a crucial role in renewable energy generation. Efficient operation and profitability of biogas plants are essential aspects that can be significantly improved through the use of advanced measurement technologies. Precise control and monitoring of process parameters using modern measurement and analysis systems are essential for maximizing biogas production and ensuring sustainable operation.

From compact units to extensive complexes with gas treatment and grid injection, comprehensive and detailed capturing of process data is indispensable. Early and thoughtful planning of instrumentation and analytics supports sustainable economic success.

Various measurement solutions are required for operating a biogas plant, covering all phases of the process: from biomass feedstock, through power generation in cogeneration plants, to injection of treated gas into the natural gas grid. Continuous data on temperature, flow rate, level, pressure, and gas composition are essential for process monitoring and optimization.

The selection of instrumentation and analytics directly impacts the effectiveness of the plant. Devices must not only convince through robustness, durability, and user-friendliness, but also ensure efficient supply of spare parts. Close collaboration with an experienced supplier already in the planning phase helps to find the ideal measurement method for every requirement and effectively reduce operating costs.

For example, choosing between radar and ultrasonic technology for level measurement results in different cost efficiencies and reliabilities of measurement values. A detailed evaluation of the respective advantages and disadvantages of available methods is crucial to determine the best possible solution. A reliable partner with comprehensive process and instrumentation knowledge is invaluable for effectively addressing challenges and optimizing biogas production.
