Geotech shortlisted as finalist for the AD and Biogas Industry Awards 2018

Geotech’s recently launched BIOMETHANE 3000 fixed system analyser has been shortlisted for the critically acclaimed AD and Biogas Industry Awards 2018.

The AD and Biogas Industry Awards are organised annually by the AD and Bioresources Association together with World Biogas Association. The awards celebrate those businesses who have made exceptional contributions to the anaerobic digestion and biogas industry.

This year, Geotech entered its brand new BIOMETHANE 3000 into the Best Innovation in Biomethane category that recognises those companies, people or teams who have demonstrated outstanding novelty relating to biomethane. Innovation may be classified in different ways including product, process (e.g. route to market) or outcome (e.g. emissions reduction).

Geotech’s BIOMETHANE 3000 was launched in March 2018 and has set a new benchmark in biomethane gas analysis. Developed in response to customer demand, the market-leading BIOMETHANE 3000 delivers real time monitoring and remote access to ensure balanced gas composition levels and optimised biofuel or gas-to-grid operations. The product has been successfully trialled with several key customers across the country and operators have complimented its ease of use and accuracy in achieving final gas chromatograph checks.

The BIOMETHANE 3000 is customisable to individual site requirements and the modular design even facilitates a “hot-swap” system that minimises downtime and simplifies serviceability and onsite maintenance. It also offers users several key benefits including onsite calibration, which can take place every 25 minutes if required, again minimising downtime and catching any issues at a much earlier stage.

Dean Kavanagh, Managing Director at Geotech said: “We are extremely happy to have been shortlisted for an award on such a prestigious platform. Biomethane is a very important part of our energy future and a vital renewable resource, so its crucial that we have the right equipment in place to closely monitor it. The launch of the BIOMETHANE 3000 was developed by us to support the upward trend in gas-to-grid applications within the industry today and to help deliver greater accuracy and confidence in gas quality, in a timeframe that supports operators to quickly make a decision.

“We are humbly proud that the BIOMETHANE 3000 – launched only earlier this year - is already creating waves in the industry and we eagerly await the results this July.”

The winners of the coveted awards will be announced at a glittering black-tie dinner in Birmingham on 11th July as part of UK AD and World Biogas Expo 2018.
