description
The University of Derby is currently running the De-Carbonise project to help SME's in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire increase their sustainability and save money by reducing energy costs and carbon emissions. The De-Carbonise team would like to buy a methane analyser to assist several SMEs on the project to ascertain the amount of greenhouse gases which are being emitted from their land. We want a piece of equipment that can analyse methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes between the soil and the atmosphere.
A portable unit will allow flexibility to test materials in-situ (avoiding disturbance) and help advise to the SME whether to reduce their emissions based on soil and land chemistry.
Essential outputs:
| • | Ability to analyse concentrations of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to a precision of at least 1ppb over 5 seconds for CH4, and 2 ppm over 5 seconds for CO2. |
| • | Suitable for portable operation |
| • | Maximum 15kg in weight (with batteries) for portable use in the field |
| • | Universal power supply |
| • | Battery life of at least 2 hours. |
| • | Suitable for operation in the field: rugged/quality design, weatherproof, reliable. |
| • | Ability to measure soil flux, including relevant apparatus (eg. flux chambers. If the soil flux system is chamber-based, then it should be a good design with consideration of temperature and pressure effects etc.). It should also be able to work with custom chambers. |
| • | Have a practical and reliable means of downloading data from the device. |
| • | Be reliable for research level application, as evidenced by widespread adoption in the relevant communities of users. |
| • | Training provided to a minimum of 2 staff members. |
| • | Technical support, warranty and servicing provided for 1 year as a minimum. |
| • | Delivery to University of Derby, Derby (DE22 1GB). |
Desirable outputs:
| • | Measurement of any other gases relevant to soil ecosystem processes, such as O2 and N2O. |
| • | Static sampling option, with ability to analyse small sample sizes. |
| • | Suitable for long-term lab operation. |
| • | Network and/or USB (etc.) connectivity for monitoring and device management |
| • | Capacity for upgrade including the detection of other gases and use of different kinds of chamber etc. |
| • | Transparent flux chamber option so that photosynthesis is not interrupted. |
| • | Range of powering options for versatility |
| • | Programming interface for advanced automated operations |
| • | Delivery by February 2022 to Derby, UK. |
