A gas meter for low rates of gas flow: Application to the methane fermentation

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A device for measuring low rates of gas flow is described and an example of application to the methane fermentation is reported. Its principle is based on the total counts of impulsions corresponding to the successive filling and emptying operations of a calibrated flask. This gas meter can be used for flow rates ranging from milliliters- to liters per day.
