SENTRY Water Tech “helps double biogas production”

SENTRY Water Tech, is helping municipal co-digesters and standalone ADs double their biogas production and plant revenue, thanks to the real-time biomass health data their microbial sensors are able to provider operators. Patrick Kiely, CEO, tells Bioenergy Insight more.
SENTRY has developed the first and only bio-electrode sensor that measures consumable VFA (volatile fatty acids) and biomass health in real time, said Kiely. This provides a minute-by-minute snapshot of the health of anaerobic digesters and alerts operators when conditions indicate a potential upset.
“Our most typical clients in the AD space are operators of treatment systems that manage variable feedstocks, and those that are looking to optimise organic loading and biogas production,” he said. “To manage changing or variable feed stocks, or to try and optimise digester performance operators need reliable information to let them see that their biomass and VFA levels are stable which is the information we uniquely provide.”
The SENTRY platform is currently deployed in over 400 unique locations globally, which supports over 650 operators better understand their...
