The Automatic Methane Potential Test System (AMPTS) II is the analytical tool preferred by scientists and engineers for conducting various anaerobic batch fermentation tests. This includes performing, with up to 15 test vials, biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests, anaerobic biodegradability studies, specific methanogenic activity (SMA) assays, as well as conducting residual gas potential (RGP) analyses on digested slurry. All of this is performed with easy access to sampling, analysis, recording and report generation; fully integrated and automated.
The Automatic Methane Potential Test System (AMPTS) II allows users to conduct anaerobic toxicity assays and determine the true biochemical methane potential (biomethane potential) and dynamic degradation profile of any biomass substrate.
This in turn will allow users to more easily determine the optimal retention time and mix of substrates for co-digesting, screen proper pre-treatment methods and evaluate the need for additives.
The AMPTS II is a well engineered analytical device developed for on-line measurements of ultra low biomethane and biogas flows produced from the anaerobic digestion of any biological degradable substrate at laboratory scale.
The automated analytical procedure significantly reduces labour demands for carrying out methane potential (biomethane potential) tests when compared to traditional methods or competitive solutions on the market.
The AMPTS II is a universal platform for all anaerobic biodegradability, methane potential (BMP) and specific methanogenic activity (SMA) test protocols, allowing for the standardisation of measurement procedures, data interpretation and reports.
This allows for methane potential (biomethane potential) and toxicity assay data from different laboratories around the world to be easily compared, thus creating value over and above the high quality results obtained from operating the AMPTS II.
The real-time performance and outstanding features of the AMPTS II satisfies the highest demands for data accuracy and precision with regards to methane potential (biomethane potential) tests and anaerobic toxicity assays. This high quality data can be used to extract important kinetic information of the degradation process, which in turn provides for a much better understanding of the dynamic degradation behaviour of a specific substrate.
