Precise and reliable measuring of the biogas flow rate is crucial for the efficient and safe operation of a biogas plant. With the VA 570 and VA 550 flow sensors from CS INSTRUMENTS, two powerful solutions are available that have been specially developed for use in demanding environments such as biogas plants.

Why measure the flow of biogas?

Measuring biogas flow offers numerous advantages:

• Optimisation of gas yield: measuring enables continuous monitoring of gas production.
• Efficient control: Gas consumption in combined heat and power plants (CHP) or gas treatment plants can be precisely controlled.
• Compliance with legal regulations: Flow measurement is often required by law.
• Safety: Flow meters help to detect leakages and other safety-critical problems at an early stage.

The solution: VA 570 and VA 550 with ATEX approval ( ATEX II 2G Ex db II T4 Gb, ATEX II 2D Ex tb IIC T90,DB)

VA 570 - The precision sensor for new installations

• Low speed version: specially developed for the accurate measuring of low flow velocities
• Area of application: Ideal for installation in new systems, equipped with an integrated measuring section
• Material: All wetted parts are made of stainless steel.
• Low maintenance: The measuring unit can be easily removed and maintained/calibrated.
• Certifications: Available with ATEX and DVGW approval.
• Further details can be found in the product link further down on this page.

VA 550 - Flexibility for existing systems

• Low speed version: Specially developed for the accurate measuring of low flow velocities
• Area of application: Ideal for retrofitting, as it can be easily integrated into existing pipes as an insertion type sensor. Especially for large pipe diameters.
• Material: High-quality stainless steel for durability.
• Easy installation: Can be mounted under pressure via a ½" ball valve.
• Certifications: ATEX
• Further details: VA 550 on the website

Conclusion

The VA 570 and VA 550 flow sensors with ATEX approval offer a precise and reliable solution for flow measurement in biogas plants. They ensure maximum efficiency, safety and compliance.
