BPC Instruments AB (BPC) is a privately held company and market leader in the area of
advanced control technologies for the commercial biogas industry, providing technologies and
services that support the efficient design and operation of biogas plants & processes. The
company was founded in 2006, bringing to market more than 15 years of industry leading
research in the area of instrumentation, control and automation of anaerobic digestion processes.
At the end of 2009, BPC launched the Automatic Methane Potential Test System I (AMPTS I), a
revolutionary product in the area of on-site lab equipment for methane potential analysis. The
number of users of AMPTS I grew quickly and today there are users in more than 40 countries,
located in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific regions. In April 2011 an updated version of
the AMPTS was made commercially available and at the end of 2012 the BioReactor Simulator
(BRS) was introduced to the market. As of January 2013, a new instrument (µFlow) for
measuring ultra-low gas flows with high precision has been offered to the market.
The µFlow is a flow meter which has been designed for on-line, real-time monitoring of gases
over a wide detection range and for most indoor laboratory scale applications. Suitable
applications include biogas process studies, ethanol fermentation, dark fermentation for bio-
hydrogen, and leak rate detection.
