Biogas storage facility

Volume and pressure monitoring in the biogas storage facility

Application

After drying, the methane gas is temporarily stored in a gas reservoir. Depending on the design of the gas storage facility, either a flexible diaphragm of plastic or a sliding roof is used for volume equalization.
