Biogas is one of the most used alternative sources for the production of renewable energy. It is the result of the degradation of various organic substances by bacteria during the "anaerobic digestion" process. This process takes place inside a fermenter in the absence of light and oxygen. The biogas development principle is based on the energy contained in the chemical bonds of the substances inside the fermenter, which is then released and stored mainly in methane. Together with carbon dioxide, methane is the main constituent of biogas. Other substances present in a lower percentage are carbon monoxide, nitrogen, hydrogen, hydrogen sulphide.
Biogas has a high calorific value and it can be converted into electricity and heat.
eBIO is the new analysis system for biogas plants.

Applications
eBIO was created for farms that need a monitoring system for biogas that is produced to be used as a fuel for the production of electricity. eBIO can analyze the biogas produced by a maximum of 6 tanks by performing the scanning sampling.
