Accurate ammonia, methane, nitrous oxide
and CO² monitoring in one affordable device
- Densely populated countries are very concerned about ammonia and methane: ability to show a reduction trend will enhance a ‘licence to operate’ for all animal farms.
- Controversy ammonia emissions Dutch livestock still unresolved. Solution must be found. Other countries have the same problem.
- Live monitoring is the most robust way to quantify and manage emissions, for which ubiquitous use of ‘low cost’ sensors is needed.
- Ammonia monitoring is the priority now, but methane monitoring is around the corner. Nitrous Oxide (N2O or “lachgas”) is also of interest (WUR).
- Animal welfare impact assessment of air quality in barns now possible. Concentrations of ammonia can impact the health of the heard in a stable. Warnings of risk concentration in the air will enable timely response.
- Most Electro-chemical sensor elements need to be replaced every 18 months with high cost of ownership.
- Competitive advantages:
- Lower total cost of ownership
- Simultaneous ammonia & methane & N2O measurements
- Advanced data platform
- Graphene FETs for measuring ammonia, methane & nitrous oxide
- Contaminant-free, monolayer graphene electrochemical sensor
- Single-atom-thick layer conformity
- High accuracy, low detection limit (< 1ppm)
- Sampling frequency: 15 minutes
- Additional CO² measurement via seperate sensor in same housing
- Service life: 5 years
