Biogas Production Plants
Real-time gas analysis with TDLAS-based systems for efficient, safe, and compliant biogas upgrading and process control.
Industry Overview
Biogas plants convert organic waste into renewable energy, but achieving stable, high-quality gas output requires precise control of gas composition. Throughout anaerobic digestion, upgrading, and combustion stages, continuous monitoring of key gases is critical for process efficiency, safety, and compliance.
Beamonics’ TDLAS gas analyzers provide real-time, calibration-free measurement of methane (CH₄), carbon dioxide (CO₂), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), ammonia (NH₃), and moisture. Our solutions support operators in optimizing yield, protecting equipment, and meeting environmental standards, from raw biogas production to final grid injection.

Typical Use‐Cases
How our technology works
1. Laser Emission
A tunable diode laser emits specific colors (wavelengths) of light that is directed through the gas sample.
2. Absorption Measurement
As the laser passes through the gas, molecules absorb some light, which is then measured and recorded.
3. Concentration Calculation
The absorption is analyzed to determine the gas concentration, providing precise, real-time measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What gases can be analyzed?
We cover many common process gases and technically all gases that absorb light in the spectrum from 650 nm to 2.5 μm. Including, but not limited to: Methane (CH₄), Oxygen (O₂), Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrogen Fluoride (HF), Ammonia (NH₃), Nitrogen Oxides (NO, N₂O), Water Vapor (H₂O), Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S), and Hydrogen Chloride (HCl).
Are your instruments sensitive to surrounding light?
No, our instruments are designed to only analyze the light at a specific wavelength. Therefore, the surrounding can be in darkness, daylight, fluorescent light or other artificial light sources.
Are your products certified?
Our products are both patented and carry the CE mark, fulfilling a wide range of applications where they are currently deployed. If you have specific requirements, please contact us and we will look into it.
When can we have the solution up and running?
Our products offer an out-of-the-box experience operational within seconds, but we always recommend integration of the product into specific processes to ensure optimal performance. For the most common process gases, we have a turnkey solution ready to deliver to the integrator within weeks. For more unusual gases or applications, it may take some additional time, primarily due to the availability of components, especially the laser. Please contact us for guidance, whether you are an end-user or an integrator who wants to become a partner, we have turnkey solutions ready to be delivered within weeks.
How is the price level compared to other gas analyzers?
The price level depends on the application and the need for integration. However, in general, the ROI is very competitive compared to other gas analyzers on the market. We offer real-time data with higher accuracy in tough conditions, minimal maintenance costs, and long-lasting products made with high-quality and replaceable components.
TDLAS seems great, but I need multiple sensors for point measurements in several positions in my facility, do you have a solution for this that can be competitive?
Yes, we can provide a solution where gas is extracted from each position where you need to measure, and the gas is analyzed in a central unit. Due to the speed of the TDLAS, even sampling of over 30 points can be done in tens of seconds.
What kind of support can I expect from you?
As a partner, you will receive support directly from the inventors, who are dedicated to creating the world's best laser diode gas analyzer. We are committed to working closely with our partners to deliver the best solution for the end-user.
There are several TDLAS solutions on the market, why choose Beamonics?
Most solutions on the market are based on generic platforms. As the inventors of our proprietary technology platform, we have the expertise to adapt it for smooth user operation and to challenging and unique applications. We are committed to providing a solution that is built to last, offering outstanding performance and reliability tailored to your needs.
It seems like an innovative solution, but is it proven?
Our solution is both unique and proven. With over a hundred deployments operating seamlessly and continuously, often in tough conditions, our systems are supported by global partners and have demonstrated their reliability.
