Gas Endeavour ® Product Introduction of Automatic Microbial Degradation Tester
The degradation of biodegradable polymers and biodegradable plastics in nature mainly depends on the environment they ultimately enter after being used by humans, such as various digestion treatment plants in anaerobic environments, soil, freshwater or seawater environments in aerobic environments, landfills or composting sites, and so on. Due to the significant differences in natural environmental conditions, it is necessary to simulate different degradation environmental conditions in a targeted manner to test the degradation characteristics of the tested material under different environmental conditions and evaluate its biodegradability in different environments.
Taking anaerobic biodegradability testing as an example, Gas Endeavour from Swedish company BP ® As a fully automated testing platform, it is convenient to conduct various tests on the aqueous culture environment, controlled sludge digestion system, and final anaerobic biodegradation rate under high solid composting conditions by continuously and accurately monitoring the release of biogas in real-time.
For aerobic biodegradability testing, Gas Endeavour ® It can be used in conjunction with the in-situ carbon dioxide adsorption module developed by Bipu Company to form a novel high-precision closed breathing apparatus detection, which can be conveniently used for continuous automatic precision measurement of biological oxygen demand. Gas Endeavour ® It can also be combined with the ectopic carbon dioxide adsorption unit designed by Bipu Company to continuously measure the conversion of oxygen to carbon dioxide during aerobic biodegradation processes. Very suitable for determining the final aerobic biodegradation ability of materials under controlled composting conditions through real-time detection of carbon dioxide release, and for evaluating aerobic biodegradation of gases based on the same principle.
