ICR develops both laboratory and prototype industrial measurement equipments in harsh environment. Physical parameters are recorded to characterize the material behaviour during long term load experiments as well as process-specific signals during industrial wear testing. The photograph shows an electronic setup for the automated online measurement of volatile fatty acid contents in biogas. It is used for just-in-time characterization of the anaerobic process in the digester. The explosion-proof equipment operates safely in the digesters environement. The other appliances include:
