  • Up to 6 gases monitored; datalogging and profiling
  • 3-year warranty

Overview

The Geotech GEM5000 landfill gas extraction monitor measures CH4, CO2 and O2. It is an easy to use analyser designed to aid balancing of the gas field, maximise power output and ultimately maximise revenue from CH4 extraction. It records static and differential pressure and can calculate gas flow and calorific value with an external flow device.

Working Principle

CH4 and CO2 are measured by a dual-wavelength infrared sensor with reference channel; O2 and optional CO (H2 compensated), H2S, NH3 and H2 by internal electrochemical sensors. An internal pump (550 ml/min typical) draws the sample from the extraction well or pipework.

Benefits

  • Aids balancing of the gas field with real-time adjustments
  • Maximises power output and revenue from CH4
  • No need for self-certification of anemometer

Frequently Asked Questions

What warranty is offered on this product?

All Tetracon-supplied instruments carry the original manufacturer warranty (typically 12–24 months) plus first-line local support from our Islamabad service centre.

Do you provide installation and commissioning?

Yes. Our manufacturer-trained engineers offer on-site installation, commissioning and startup training anywhere in Pakistan.

Are spares and calibration available locally?

Common spares are held in local stock. Calibration is available at our lab or on-site with NIST-traceable reference standards.

How long is the typical lead time?

Stocked items ship within 3–5 working days; engineered configurations typically 6–10 weeks depending on manufacturer schedule.
