Digester Gas Monitoring
Ground Flare
Methane (CH4) gas generated from anaerobic
digesters also contains hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
resulting from decomposing sludge. The H2S gas is
usually removed. Methane gas is used to fuel
compressors, boilers and engines. Any unused gas
is then flared off to the atmosphere.
Applications exist for Models S4000CH/TH and
IR2100 Infrared Point Gas Detector because of
high O2. The Model IR5000 is also used for CH4
detection in large waste treatment plants.

Sludge Dewatering
De-watering System
Incoming sludge from waste treatment facilities
contains hydrogen sulfide and methane gas. The
sludge is transported through a spiral conveyor
into the de-watering system where the water is
removed. The outgoing conveyor transports the
remaining solids to an incinerator. Model S4000TH
Intelligent Sensors are positioned so that during
operation of the compressor any escaping H2S will
be detected.
Outgoing Sludge to Incinerator
Incoming Sludge
Model S4000TH Intelligent Sensors are positioned
both sides of the compressor
22
Wet/Dry Wells Lift Stations
Wet wells and dry wells are confined spaces which
can develop a build-up of H2S and CH4. This gas
concentration can become explosive and/or toxic
to the level of personnel danger. Because
personnel are required to service these areas, O2
deficiency monitors are installed to ensure that
oxygen levels do not drop below the regulated
levels needed to sustain life. Models
TS420/TS4000H, S4000CH/THs can all be used for
these applications.

Landfill Vapor Recovery
Landfills produce Methane and H2S gas generated
from decomposing materials. The recovered methane
is used to fuel compressors, engines and
co-generation plants. These facilities provide
an excellent opportunity for Model S4000CH
Intelligent Sensors to detect the methane gas.

Cogeneration
S4000CH Gas Detector

• Many sewage treatment facilities use Methane
  generated from digesters to power electrical
  generating plants. This power is used to run the
  facilities as a supplement to purchased power
  from utility companies. Model S4000CH Intelligent
  Sensors are used to monitor leaks in the
  co-generation building.
