Description

Mastering Biogas Quality and Flow in One Device

The Intelligent Solution for Real-Time Energy Content Monitoring

The Prosonic Flow B 200 is the industry specialist for high-precision measurement of wet biogas, landfill gas, and digester gas. In an era where carbon neutrality and energy efficiency are paramount, this ultrasonic meter provides a game-changing advantage: integrated real-time methane fraction ($CH_4$) analysis. This allows operators to monitor not just the volume of gas, but its actual energy quality and caloric value in a single device.

Available via Hanyu Zhilian, the B 200 is specifically optimized for low-pressure gas applications. Its full-bore design ensures zero pressure loss, maximizing the gas yield for your CHP engines or flare systems. As a loop-powered (2-wire) device, it integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructures with minimal wiring, while Heartbeat Technology™ ensures continuous in-situ verification for maximum regulatory compliance.

The B 200 Advantage: Beyond Standard Flow Meters

  • Integrated Gas Analysis: Why buy a separate analyzer? The B 200 calculates methane content on-the-fly, providing an instant "Energy Value" output for better CHP (Combined Heat and Power) efficiency.

  • Wet & Dirty Gas Robustness: Unlike thermal dispersion or vortex meters, the B 200’s ultrasonic technology is unaffected by moisture, CO2 fluctuations, or soot buildup.

  • Zero Pressure Drop: The full-bore design prevents any restriction in the flow line, which is critical for low-pressure digester systems where every millibar of pressure counts.

  • Heartbeat Technology™: Perform ISO-compliant device verification without interrupting your process. Generate proof of accuracy reports directly from the control room.

  • 2-Wire Simplicity: The B 200 is the world’s first loop-powered ultrasonic biogas meter, significantly reducing installation complexity and ATEX/Ex barrier requirements.


Application Case: Energy Balancing at a Wastewater Plant

The Challenge: A large sewage treatment plant struggled to optimize their CHP engine. Because the methane concentration in their digester gas fluctuated by 15% weekly, volume-only measurement was leading to poor fuel-to-power conversion.

The Hanyu Solution: The plant installed the Prosonic Flow B 200 from hanyuzl.com.

  • The Result: The B 200 provided simultaneous flow and methane % data directly to the PLC.

  • The Impact: The CHP engine now adjusts its air-to-fuel ratio dynamically based on the B 200’s real-time energy data. This resulted in a 12% increase in electricity generation and eliminated the need for weekly manual gas sampling.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How does the B 200 measure methane without a separate sensor?

A: It utilizes the relationship between the speed of sound and gas composition. By integrating a temperature sensor, the B 200's advanced algorithms calculate the methane fraction with high reliability in real-time.

Q2: Is it suitable for gas containing high levels of Hydrogen Sulfide ($H_2S$)?

A: Yes. The wetted parts are made of high-grade 316L stainless steel, specifically chosen to resist the corrosive nature of raw, untreated biogas and digester gas.

Q3: Can this be integrated with a flow computer for billing?

A: Absolutely. While the B 200 provides excellent internal data, it is often paired with the [SICK Flow-X High-Precision Flow Computer] or a dedicated PLC for formal energy balancing and reporting.

Q4: How does Hanyu Zhilian ensure the safety of my business data?

A: We treat all technical inquiries with strict confidentiality. According to our Privacy Policy, your project details shared via hanyuzl.com are used exclusively for engineering consulting and order fulfillment.
