1. General Information
1.1. Weather and environmental conditions
The SWG100 BIOGAS analyser is designed for ambient temperatures of +5°C to
+45°C (without cabinet heater) resp. -10°C to +45°C (with cabinet heater).
The analyser is designed for indoor mounting. In case of outdoor mounting it is
important that the analyser is sufficiently protected against rain, sun and wind. In
case of outdoor mounting under extreme environmental conditions like high
humidity, salty sea air, etc. further protective measures are necessary. These should
be clarified with the manufacturer (MRU).
Any additional protective measures for outdoor mounting have to be provided by
the plant operator. The manufacturer (MRU) consults the plant operator in
choosing appropriate protective measures.
NOTE
The SWG100Biogas analyser is designed for sampling biogas with
condensate of max. 14ml/min.
If the sample biogas will be very wet (high condensate of more
than 14ml/min), then to protect the SWG100-Biogas analyser
please consider special precautions to remove the condensate.
If you not have your own feasible solution for this topic, please ask
MRU.
1.2. Installation instructions
Installation instructions, which are described in chapter 3 of the operation manual,
have to be strictly adhered to.
WARNING
Please check correct installation before powering up the analyzer!
Please operate the analyzer only in upright position!
1.3. General important instructions for the plant operator
To guarantee continuous operation of the SWG100 BIOGAS analyser, the functions,
processes and operation of the analyser have to be monitored regularly by the
plant operator especially in case of any initial installation. Thus, it will be possible
to take suitable measures to improve the availability and life time of the analyser.
As the plant operator gains more experience concerning the maintenance
requirements of the analyser, the monitoring frequency may be reduced to more
extended periods of time.
It is important that the filter-units, listed in chapter 10.1 of the operation manual,
are checked regularly and, if necessary, service parts are changed.
