RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System 6 Maxi – BMP

RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System 6 Maxi – BMP

The RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System Maxi is a complete and innovative solution designed for anaerobic respiration studies, particularly for determining the Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) of biomass. BMP analysis is fundamental in studying the biogas production from organic wastes, with applications mainly in wastewater treatment and renewable energy production. In addition to BMP, the system is also suitable for anaerobic studies such as Denitrification Tests when used with the optional VELP Denitrification Bottles (Cod. A00000410).

Features

1. Advanced BMP measurement – Equipped with electronic pressure sensors for precise monitoring of biogas generation.

2. High-capacity bottles – 1000 ml vessels ideal for biomass and wastewater anaerobic digestion studies.

3. Long-term monitoring – Capable of continuous measurement from 1 up to 730 days for extended research and testing.

4. Cloud connectivity – Data access and management through RespiroSoft via USB or ERMES Cloud via Wi-Fi.

5. Compact and durable construction – Technopolymer sensors with IP54 protection ensure reliability in laboratory conditions.

6. Versatile applications – Suitable for BMP, anaerobic biodegradability tests, and denitrification studies.

Applications

1. Wastewater and sludge treatment – Monitoring the biogas potential of organic wastes for process optimization.

2. Renewable energy research – Evaluating biomass for methane production and biogas feasibility.

3. Environmental testing – Determining the anaerobic biodegradability of organic compounds.

4. Denitrification studies – With optional VELP bottles, it enables testing of nitrate reduction processes.
