Comprehensive biogas testing and gas composition analysis to support anaerobic digestion efficiency, permit compliance, and gas utilisation decisions.
We provide specialist biogas monitoring and sampling services across anaerobic digestion plants, landfill gas systems, and gas upgrade facilities — delivering the data you need to optimise performance and demonstrate compliance.
Measurement of methane, carbon dioxide, oxygen, hydrogen sulphide and trace contaminants to characterise gas quality and inform process decisions.
Systematic sampling and analysis of landfill gas at extraction wells, headers, and the gas engine — supporting permit compliance and optimisation.
Regular monitoring programmes for anaerobic digestion operators to track gas yield, quality, and system performance over time.
Gas quality testing to support biomethane upgrading and grid injection projects, including compliance with gas quality standards.
Identification and quantification of siloxanes, VOCs, and other trace contaminants that can affect engine performance and gas utilisation.
Monitoring reports prepared to meet Environment Agency permit conditions and voluntary standards, including MCERTS requirements.
Biogas monitoring requires specialist knowledge of the processes involved. Our team combines technical expertise with a quality management framework that gives operators confidence in their data.
We understand anaerobic digestion and landfill gas systems — not just the monitoring techniques. This means better designed programmes and more useful data.
All monitoring follows a certified quality management system — consistent, auditable, and defensible results every time.
Where standard methods don't cover your specific requirements, we develop and validate bespoke approaches.
From one-off surveys to ongoing monitoring programmes — we work around your operational schedule and reporting deadlines.
Siloxanes are organosilicon compounds found in biogas from anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge, municipal solid waste, and food waste. Left undetected, they cause progressive and costly damage to combined heat and power (CHP) engines.
When biogas containing siloxanes is combusted in a CHP engine, the siloxanes oxidise and form silicon dioxide (SiO₂) — essentially glass. This hard, abrasive deposit builds up on pistons, cylinder liners, valves, and spark plugs. The result is accelerated wear, loss of compression, increased maintenance intervals, and in severe cases, catastrophic engine failure. Even low concentrations (<5 mg/m³) can cause measurable degradation over time.
We provide representative siloxane sampling of biogas at anaerobic digestion plants, sewage treatment works, and landfill gas sites. Samples are collected using validated methods and analysed by accredited laboratories to quantify total and individual siloxane species (L2, L3, L4, D3, D4, D5, D6). Results are provided with a clear interpretation of risk to your engine and recommendations for mitigation — including filtration system sizing where required.
