Generate reliable methane-yield, reactor-performance and gas-composition data with instruments developed from full-scale plant operation and academic research.
Research collaborations
Compare crops, varieties and residues by measured biogas yield, then combine the result with crop yield to compare gas potential per hectare.
Suggested instrumentBMP NautilusMeasure the change in gas production after extrusion, straw pre-treatment or hydrolysis before committing at full scale.
Suggested instrumentBMP NautilusCompare additive and control reactors under the same feeding conditions, then quantify the change in gas production.
Suggested instrumentLobster Auto-fedCompare loading rates, feeds or additives in a continuous lab system and track their effect on gas production and stability.
Suggested instrumentLobster Auto-fedMeasure residual biogas potential to assess digestate quality and quantify how much gas can still be produced.
Suggested instrumentBMP NautilusFollow gas composition across up to 15 lines semi-continuously and reveal dynamics missed by occasional gas-bag tests.
Suggested instrumentChimeraConnect up to 15 gas lines and measure methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) semi-continuously. Chimera switches between sources automatically, revealing dynamics occasional gas-bag tests can miss.
Data Digester brings gas flow, gas composition and reactor-control records into one place, so you can spot a response while the trial is running and export the trace behind it.
Example experiment
Interactive demonstration using generated example data. Methane concentration is shown across three reactor channels.
Compare feedstocks by their biogas potential, with consistent mixing across every reactor.
Replicate full-scale digestion in the lab and compare how reactors respond to different feeding rates.
Follow methane and carbon dioxide across your experiment, with automatic switching between gas sources.
Explore multi-stage anaerobic digestion with modular reactors and independent control of each stage.
Run anaerobic digestion research across ten automatically fed reactors.
Follow long-term anaerobic digestion performance with a dedicated two-reactor system.
Investigate high-solids anaerobic digestion with semi-continuously fed reactors.
Study high-solids anaerobic digestion with manually fed laboratory reactors.
Explore how the BMP Nautilus is used by farmers to select their crop and maximise biogas yield for profit. It is also used to evaluate how best to prepare and treat feedstock before digestion.

Follow the process as our researcher Mingjie at Anaero Technology modifies the BMP Nautilus to be applied to the BOD-5 test.
After more than a decade of development, the Chimera has been released to catch labs up with the quality of gas composition data available at the industrial scale.
