Possum Portable Emission Sampling System

The Possum is a versatile portable sampling system for measuring combustion emissions. The dilution system conditions the emission sample to achieve representative partitioning of organic compounds and other semi-volatile species. The system has two sample trains to measure undiluted and diluted emissions simultaneously. It is a complete sampling system including the sensor box, sampling probes, accessories, and software. The Possum system is appropriate for large and small combustion sources, with and without exhaust stacks, and any fuel.

Musakonak Gobargas

Musakonak gobargas is Nepali for Ratnoze Biogas. It is a Ratnoze sensing platform configured with sensors to measure biogas flow, pressure, and composition (CH4 and CO2) for monitoring the performance of household biogas systems.

Gobargas Flow Monitor

Gobargas is Nepali for biogas. The flow monitors were constructed to log biogas energy consumption during Kitchen Performance Tests in Nepal. The monitor consists of an Arduino Due, Waltech shield, SD card logger, mass flow sensor, and rechargeable battery.
