Vaisala CARBOCAPâ MGP261 Multigas Probe for Methane, Carbon Dioxide, and Humidity Measurement is designed for in situ measurements in demanding biogas processing conditions where repeatable, stable, and accurate measurement is essential. MGP261 is Ex-certified for use in Ex Zone 0 (parts inserted into process) and Ex Zone 1 (parts outside the process). The probe belongs to the Vaisala MGP260 series product family.
MGP261 measures the main components of biogas and landfill gas: methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and humidity. These gases make up the bulk of biogas, and measuring all three parameters gives you a 100 % picture of the process. MGP261 measures CH4, CO2 and humidity in vol-% units, or alternatively dewpoint temperature (Td) in degrees Celsius.
