Our range of syngas analysers are perfectly suited to helping you adhere to Ofgem incentives as well as calculate syngas volumes during biomass gasification.
If you’re looking to purchase one of our syngas analysers, please contact our team about the analyser that you’re interested in or visit one of our global distributors.
Our syngas analysers are purpose built and can be customised to your requirements. Browse our range of industrial syngas analysers below:
Syngas (or synthesis gas) is a synthetic gas made up of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen, water vapours and other hydrocarbons and condensable compounds. This synthetic natural gas is extremely versatile, able to be used in its original form or separated and used to purify other elements such as hydrogen and methanol.
Typically, the resulting Syngas from gasification will be fed into a CHP engine to provide electricity and heat. However, large-scale syngas sites may also choose to use the product for other applications such as synthesising diesel fuel and Hydrogen production in a process called syngas fermentation.
Syngas is also a rich source of nitrogen, methanol, and ammonia, all of which are essential ingredients in fertilizers, solvents, and synthetic materials. This makes syngas a valuable feedstock for a wide range of industries. For example, syngas can be used to produce plastics like polyurethane and nylon, as well as resins, pharmaceuticals, adhesives, and paints. The byproducts of syngas production can even be used as slag for road construction, minimizing waste.
It is important to monitor gas compositions during syngas production for a number reasons. The first reason is to comply with safety and environmental regulations as well as ensure that the concentrations of the various components of syngas are at safe levels.
For example, ensuring the concentration of CO2 and hydrogen is within safe levels is essential due to their combustible nature. Additionally, the valuable compounds found within syngas, such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide, need to be monitored to ensure their concentration levels meet the needs of the gas’ intended use.
Monitoring for other impurities, such as sulphur and heavy metals, within the syngas is also essential. This will ensure that the gases produced during the gasification process are clean and safe to use.
The Ofgem incentive programmes are part of the UK’s push to generate electricity from renewable sources. In order to qualify, syngas production must comply with rules surrounding the biomass of the gasification stock. Anywhere with biomass stock can set up a gasifier and start generating electricity using syngas.
Gas Data equipment analyses syngas composition before it is fed into a generator, as stipulated by the Non-Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). In order to qualify for the incentive scheme, syngas must have a minimum Gross Calorific Value (GCV) of 2MJ/m3. Gas Data syngas analysers calculates GCV on the user’s behalf, ensuring accurate results are sent to Ofgem.
