Windrow gas instrument– Composting Equipment – Measurement Equipment

Composting is an aerobic process (with oxygen). Therefore, a well-aerated compost windrow is a requirement for a proper decomposition. Valuable information about the aerobic decomposition process can be obtained by measuring the carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2 ) content of the compost windrow, as microorganisms consume oxygen in the course of the decomposition process, converting it into carbon dioxide.

Our electronic windrow gas instrument, operators like you can get an overview of current process conditions. The instrument measures up to seven different gases simultaneously and is also easy to use and low-maintenance.

Our standard windrow gas instrument is equipped with three measuring sensors for measuring the most important composting parameters

Standard sensors:

• Oxygen (O 2 )
• Carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Methane (CH 4 )
  

The additional sensor positions can be equipped with other sensors, for example:

• Ammonia (NH 3 )
  
• Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) 
• Additional sensors on request
