Preliminary study on designing and development of biogas analyser and monitoring system using IoT

Today, IoT enables traditionally dumb physical devices be control wirelessly from great distance. Other than that, local biogas related research and industry has grown into a new level which requires biogas analyser for measuring the gas content.

description Today, IoT enables traditionally dumb physical devices be control wirelessly from great distance. Other than that, local biogas related research and industry has grown into a new level which requires biogas analyser for measuring the gas content. The analyser currently is imported from other countries at a very high cost due to no local production. It is not easy to request for customisation of the analyser from its supplier. Therefore, this study aims to prove possibility on developing a portable biogas analyser with a monitoring system using internet of things (IoT) approach. The system uses Raspberry Pi microcomputer as core of the design. The analyser is capable of measuring methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) which are main composition of biogas. The system includes a web server to allow monitoring from a distance via smartphones, tablets, and personal computers using any browser with Internet connectivity.
