Typical Applications

• Homes and rural households.
• Farmhouses and agricultural buildings.
• Workshops and selected commercial spaces.
• Poultry and livestock facilities using heaters specifically designed for those environments.
• Other suitable spaces requiring supplementary heating.

Installation and Maintenance

• Confirm that the heater is specifically designed or approved for the methane concentration, pressure, and composition of the available biogas.
• Install according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Ensure adequate ventilation and appropriate exhaust arrangements for combustion products.
• Inspect gas hoses, valves, regulators, and connections regularly for leaks.
• Keep the heater clear of combustible materials.
• Clean and service the burner as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Use a suitable carbon monoxide detector where combustion appliances are installed.
• Never use an unvented combustion heater in an enclosed sleeping area or other space where combustion gases could accumulate.

Important Product Information

Biogas composition and pressure can vary depending on the digester and gas-treatment system. A heater designed for LPG or natural gas should not automatically be assumed to operate safely or efficiently on biogas. Confirm fuel compatibility, required gas pressure, heat output, gas consumption, ventilation requirements, and safety certification before installation.
