The	 ANKOMRF	 Gas	 Production	 Measurement	 System	 provides	 an	 easy-to-use	 method for	monitoring	and	measuring	gases	produced	during	anaerobic	or	aerobic	digestion.	 The system	consists	of	sample	bottles	in	100ml,	250ml,	500ml	and	1000ml	sizes.		All	sample bottles	can	be	fitted	with	an	optional	septa	port	which	can	be	used	for	sampling	liquid Base	Coordinator

during	operation	or	as	an	alternative	method	for	sampling	gas	from	the	head	space.		The RF	Base	Kit	(RFS)	includes	five	wireless	digestion	modules	(RF1)	capable	of	measuring pressure	and	temperature,	a	reference	module	which	records	ambient	pressure,	a	wireless base	coordinator,	operational	software	(Windows	XP™	or	later	required),	rechargeable battery	packs,	a	ten	battery	pack	charging	station	and	additional	fittings.	The	pressure	(or vacuum)	 created	 in	 each	 bottle	 and	 the	 temperature	 of	 the	 module’s	 environment	 are monitored	and	recorded	at	user	selected	intervals.	As	individual	pressure	and	temperature data	 points	 are	 generated	 they	 are	 recorded	 on	 standard	 Microsoft	 Excel	 spreadsheets for	 easy	 analysis	 and	 graphing.	 Real-time	 graphing	 is	 also	 provided	 during	 operation for	 instantaneous	 feedback	 on	 the	 process.	 	 The	 user	 can	 select	 temperature	 in	 °C	 or

°F	 and	 pressure	 in	 psi	 or	 mbar.	 The	 system	 can	 be	 used	 for	 any	 application	 requiring ANKOM	Technology	can	support	your	needs	for water	baths	and	laptop/PC's	as	needed.
