Biogas Plant Services in India

Sofcon Systems is a leading Industrial Automation Solution Provider offering comprehensive biogas plant gas analysis and analytics consulting, bio gas plant automation, and bio gas grid injection solutions across India, including Noida, Delhi NCR, Gurugram, and Gorakhpur. With strong expertise in process control systems, gas measurement technologies, and industrial instrumentation, we help businesses design, optimize, and automate high-efficiency biogas and CBG plants.

Our approach combines technical feasibility, regulatory understanding, and intelligent automation to ensure long-term plant performance and profitability.

  1. Biogas Plant – Gas Analysis & Laboratory Analytics Services

Sofcon Systems specializes in biogas plant gas analysis, laboratory analytics, and process monitoring solutions that enhance methane yield stability and ensure regulatory compliance. We focus on real-time monitoring of digester health, purification efficiency, and final biomethane quality before grid injection or bottling.

Our solutions integrate raw biogas analysis, VFA-based laboratory insights, purification inlet–outlet validation, and final gas compliance monitoring into a unified operational framework. Leveraging technologies from Honeywell (Elster/RMG gas measurement systems) and Thermo Fisher Scientific (process and laboratory analytical instruments), we enable centralized visibility, reduced methane losses, early stress detection, and standardized performance across multiple CBG plants.

Sofcon Systems role is operational performance enhancement through advanced analytics, automation, and integrated gas monitoring systems.

  1. Biogas Plant Automation Solutions

Automation is critical for maintaining stable digestion, maximizing methane production, and ensuring plant safety. Sofcon Systems delivers advanced bio gas plant automation systems tailored to plant capacity and operational requirements.

Our automation solutions include PLC and SCADA integration, temperature and pressure monitoring, gas flow measurement, H2S monitoring, alarm systems, and remote data logging. With real-time monitoring and control, operators can maintain optimal process conditions and prevent performance drops.

Through intelligent automation, biogas plants achieve improved gas quality, better process stability, reduced manual intervention, and higher overall efficiency. Additionally, our systems enable multi-plant data logging with centralized visualization at a corporate HQ or command centre, providing unified performance monitoring, benchmarking, and expert oversight across geographically distributed biogas facilities.

  1. Bio Gas Grid Injection Systems

For projects focused on Compressed Biogas (CBG), bio gas grid injection requires strict compliance with gas quality standards and regulatory norms. Sofcon Systems provides complete instrumentation, analytics and automation support for grid injection systems.

Our services include gas quality monitoring, flow metering systems, pressure regulation systems, injection skid automation, and safety interlock systems. We ensure that upgraded biogas meets methane concentration and calorific value standards before being injected into the distribution network.

With proper grid injection automation, plant operators can maintain compliance while ensuring smooth and safe gas transfer.

Addressing Bio Gas Low Performance and Yield Issues

Many biogas plants experience low methane output due to inadequate monitoring and improper process control. Common causes of low performance include poor feedstock management, unstable temperature control, high sulfur content, inefficient mixing, and lack of automation.

Sofcon Systems conducts detailed process diagnostics and implements automation upgrades to resolve low performance issues. By stabilizing digestion parameters and integrating advanced monitoring systems, we help increase methane recovery, improve gas purity, and enhance overall plant output.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the bio gas plant automation cost?

The biogas plant automation cost depends on plant size, complexity, number of digesters, and required monitoring systems. Typically, automation costs range between 5% to 15% of the total project cost. Small plants require basic control systems, while grid injection projects require advanced gas analysis and safety instrumentation.

What is bio gas grid injection?

Bio gas grid injection refers to injecting purified and upgraded biogas into the natural gas distribution network. Before injection, the gas must meet specific methane percentage, calorific value, and impurity standards. Proper automation and gas quality monitoring systems are essential for safe and compliant injection.

How is bio gas plant set up and feasibility evaluated?

Bio gas plant set up begins with feedstock analysis, gas yield estimation, infrastructure planning, financial modeling, and regulatory review. A detailed feasibility study ensures the project is technically viable and economically sustainable before investment.

Why does a bio gas plant face low performance and yield issues?

Low yield issues typically arise due to poor temperature control, inconsistent feedstock quality, high hydrogen sulfide levels, or lack of automation. Implementing proper bio gas plant automation and process monitoring systems significantly improves stability and methane production.

Why is a good on-site QC laboratory important and critical in a biogas plant?

An on-site Quality Control (QC) laboratory is critical for monitoring digester health, verifying purification efficiency, and ensuring final biomethane compliance before grid injection or bottling. Regular testing of parameters such as VFAs, alkalinity, moisture, H₂S, siloxanes, and gas composition enables early detection of biological imbalance and process inefficiencies.

Sofcon Systems supports the setup of fully equipped biogas QC laboratories by integrating advanced analytical instruments and workflow solutions, ensuring accurate, reliable, and compliant testing aligned with regulatory standards.
