Moisture / Dew Point Analyzer — Biogas Plants

Continuous moisture and dew point monitoring to prevent condensation, corrosion, analyzer damage, and engine failures in biogas and CBG systems.

Technician rule: Most moisture-related failures are caused by poor drainage, wrong sample line slope, or missing coolers, not sensor problems.

Why Moisture Measurement Is Critical

  • Prevents corrosion of pipelines and engines
  • Avoids liquid water carryover into compressors
  • Protects analyzers and flow meters
  • Improves reliability of upgrading membranes

What Is Measured

  • Moisture concentration (ppm / g/m³)
  • Dew point temperature (°C)
  • Condensation risk in gas lines

Measurement Technologies

  • Capacitive polymer sensors
  • Chilled mirror (reference method)
  • Aluminum oxide sensors

Typical Installation Locations

  • After gas coolers and separators
  • Before engines and compressors
  • Before upgrading membranes
  • Before cascade storage
