Inspection and analysis service
Automatic Methane Potential Test System (AMPTS) II

Analysis and testing services are part of the research department of Aqua Nihahara Corporation Limited to analyze and test the potential properties of methane production from biomass needed. As well as system design for biogas production With the latest research tools and precision analysis with the Automatic Methane Potential Test System (AMPTS II).

In a situation where electricity and oil power rebounded Inevitably affects the economic conditions and cost of living It's time to seriously create renewable energy. Renewable energy from biomass or biogas Is an important goal of driving renewable energy in the future The study of the real potential of biomass in the production of biogas (Real Potential) is very important and necessary. To support the consideration of policy making or investment promotion

Benefits and importance

• Increase the biogas production from waste water Biomass or co-fermented materials.
• Reduce the cost of biogas production.
• Reduce the cost of electricity usage.

Trial scope

1. Analyze chemical composition of waste water Before and after adding joint fermentation materials By analyzing only the optimum condition after the fermentation process comparing with the initial wastewater.
2. Use waste water, biomass or co-fermentation materials And sediment to test for the potential of Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) to find the type of biomass and the ratio that is appropriate to the wastewater To get the highest efficiency in biogas production.
3. Use the Modified Gompertz model (MGM) and the biogas production from wastewater. Biomass or co-fermented materials.
4. Apply the best ratio of design and design of systems suitable for biomass. And meets the needs of customers.

Analysis and testing services To find a suitable method, together with assessing the cost of pre-treatment of biomass waste water or combined fermentation materials Compare with Can be done in three ways
1. Physical method (Physical pretreatment) Such as using mechanical force The use of heat, etc.
2. Chemical method (Chemical pretreatment) E.g. Alkali pretreatment
3. Biological methods (Biological pretreatment) The company has microbes and Enzymes under the trademarks AQUA-M, AQUA-SEM and Citadel Biocat.

Things that customers must prepare.

1. Biomass wastewater or co-fermented materials that need to be tested.

Solid form      Solid 10 kg.
Liquid form    volume 20 liters

2. Seed sludge volume 20 liters

Parameters and methods of chemical composition analysis

Analysis report that the client will receive.

1. Measurement parameters (As the parameter table and chemical composition analysis method)
2. The potential for methane production (BMP) in the form of the maximum methane produced per gram of volatile fatty acids (ml CH4 / gVS substrate).
3. Explain the production of biogas from biomass using Cumulative methane production from experiments using Modified Gompertz model (MGM)
