| A
multi-bottle dedicated anaerobic respirometer for the laboratory
measurement of gas production rate or methane production
rate in anaerobic environments.
The
principal of operation is very simple, i.e. counting numbers
of gas bubbles, the volume of which has already been calibrated
under standard conditions. Bubble counting is achieved by
detecting the interruption of an IR light beam by a photosensitive
cell.
Each
respirometer system comprises four elements:
-
reactor vessels +stirrers and temperature control
- Bubble
counting module
- interface
module
- computer.
Three bottle sizes and two flow cell sizes are available,
and either heating only or heating plus cooling systems
may be provided. Windows Software is supplied preloaded
on the supplied computer, and data files may be manipulated
in excel if required. Graphs, tables & reports may be
printed out directly. The gas production & rate of production
may be viewed in real time on screen. Up to two 8 bottle
bases may be deployed at the same time with just one interface.
