Abstract

Novel traceable analytical methods and reference gas standards were developed for the detection of trace-level ammonia in biogas and biomethane. This work focused on an ammonia amount fraction at the upper limit level of 10 mg m−3 (corresponding to approximately 14 μmol mol-1) specified in EN 16723-1:2016. The application of spectroscopic analytical methods such as Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) and optical feedback cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy (OFCEAS), was investigated. These techniques all exhibited the necessary ammonia sensitivity at the required 14 μmol mol-1 amount fraction. A 29-month stability study of reference gas mixtures of 10 µmol mol-1 ammonia in methane and synthetic biogas, is also reported.
