- Standalone instrument with embedded data acquisition and web server for remote
access (no need for software installation).
- The measuring cell is pre-calibrated by the factory.
- The software can be accessed locally or remotely from any device with a web browser
(preferably Google Chrome).
- Option for real-time automatic compensation for atmospheric pressure,
environmental temperature and moisture content changes to normalise the data to
standard conditions.
- Function to remove gas overestimation and automatic calculation of the amount of
substrate and inoculum needed per reactor in order to perform BMP tests.
- Reliable operation and easy maintenance where most of the components can be easily
exchanged without special requirements.
- System log for operational diagnosis.
