As an institution authorised in accordance with Act No 188/2003 Coll. on the application of sewage sludge and bottom sediments to agricultural or forest soil, amending Act No 223/2001 Coll. on waste, amending certain laws, we assess projects aimed at the utilisation of sewage sludge and bottom sediments in agriculture or forestry.

Analysis of biogas from municipal sewage treatment plants
analyza

As an important source of energy, biogas favourably influences the energy balance and operating costs of sewage treatment plants. The potential use of biogas depends on its composition.

We analyse biogas samples taken from municipal sewage treatment plants using a GA5000 instrument. The following components are determined: CH4 (%), CO2 (%), O2 (%), H2 (ppm) and H2S (ppm).

Price list

For biogas analysis, we charge EUR 85/sample, excluding VAT. The customer is responsibility for taking and transporting biogas samples.
