Product Description

The Burak Metering BT-3020 Series Thermal Mass Flow Meter for Biogas Flow Measurement is a specialized instrument designed to accurately and reliably measure the flow of biogas in various applications. Biogas, a renewable energy source derived from organic materials, requires precise monitoring for optimal utilization. This thermal mass flow meter utilizes advanced technology to ensure accurate and efficient measurement of biogas flow rates.


Key Features:


  1. Thermal Mass Flow Technology: The flow meter employs thermal dispersion technology, where the flow rate is directly proportional to the amount of heat carried away by the flowing biogas. This method ensures accurate and repeatable measurements, even in the presence of varying gas compositions.

  2. Compatibility with Biogas Composition: Designed to accommodate the diverse composition of biogas, the flow meter can handle variations in methane (CH4) content, carbon dioxide (CO2), and other trace gases commonly found in biogas streams. This flexibility makes it suitable for applications in anaerobic digestion processes, landfills, wastewater treatment plants, and other biogas production facilities.

  3. Wide Measurement Range: The meter offers a broad measurement range, allowing it to adapt to varying flow rates typically encountered in biogas applications. This versatility makes it suitable for both small-scale and large-scale biogas generation facilities.

  4. High Accuracy and Reliability: With high accuracy and repeatability, the thermal mass flow meter ensures precise measurement, contributing to efficient biogas utilization. Accurate flow data is crucial for optimizing biogas production processes, enhancing energy efficiency, and meeting regulatory requirements.

  5. Low Pressure Drop: The meter's design minimizes pressure drop, preventing disruptions to the biogas flow and ensuring that the system operates with maximum efficiency. This feature contributes to energy savings and overall system performance.

  6. Digital Display and Communication: Equipped with a digital display, the flow meter provides real-time data on biogas flow rates, temperature, and pressure. Communication interfaces such as Modbus or HART facilitate seamless integration into control systems for comprehensive process monitoring.

  7. Easy Installation and Maintenance: The flow meter is designed for easy installation, with minimal maintenance requirements. Its robust construction ensures durability in harsh biogas environments, and routine maintenance is simplified, minimizing downtime.

  8. Compliance with Industry Standards: The product adheres to relevant industry standards and certifications, ensuring compliance with accuracy, safety, and environmental regulations specific to biogas applications.
