Biogas Batch Fermentation System

In the field of the biogas research the RITTER MilliGascounter became a cent­ral component of a system allowing investigation of fermentation processes with up to 16 fermentation bottles in a heating oven at the same time. This RITTER Biogas Batch Fermentation System enables automatic measurement with data acquisition in real time.

The primary advantage of the RITTER Biogas Batch Fermentation System is that the entire fermentation bottle is uniformly tempered inside the heating oven. In contrast to tempering the fermentation bottles in a water bath there will be no uncontrolled cooling of the upper half of the bottles by air and air currents. All temperature deviations can be minimized by e.g. an optional inner glass door of the heating oven for visual inspections.
