Side Flow Ultrasonic Biogas Flow Meter in Kenya | Home Biogas Kenya

The Side-Flow Ultrasonic Biogas Flow Meter is a reliable, non-mechanical flow measurement device designed to accurately monitor the flow rate and volume of biogas in pipelines. It uses ultrasonic technology to measure gas velocity without rotating or moving parts, providing continuous and low-maintenance operation.

Its side-mounted or insertion-style design provides a practical solution for monitoring existing biogas pipelines, making it suitable for applications where installing a conventional full-bore flow meter may be difficult. The meter can be used to monitor biogas production, consumption and distribution in household, agricultural, institutional, commercial and industrial biogas systems.

Depending on the model, the meter can provide real-time flow rate, cumulative gas volume, temperature and pressure data, with digital communication options for integration into biogas monitoring, control and IoT systems.
