Automated Ebullition System (AES)

AES: Our Ultimate Solution for Gas Bubble Collection!

Say goodbye to the hassle of collecting gas bubbles! Our Automated Ebullition System makes the process seamless and efficient. Customize your collection chamber to fit your specific needs, allowing for precise gas collection, volume logging, and concentration measurement—all in one easy-to-use system.

Rather than measuring the flux of incoming bubbles, this system directly measures the concentration of the gas itself. Once a sufficient volume of gas has been collected, it is released to flow through a sensor for analysis. If further analysis is required, the released gas can also be captured in a sample bag for subsequent testing.

With the SmartSampler, you can connect up to five ebulition chambers simultaneously, maximizing your collection capabilities. Plus, our innovative buoy design keeps pesky birds away, ensuring uninterrupted operation.

Experience the future of gas bubble collection with the improved AES - efficiency and customization at your fingertips!

Discover the groundbreaking steps we took in 2019 with our original IAMES design. Dive into the details and learn how this affordable automated methane ebullition sensor laid the foundation for our latest advancements. Read more here: IAMES Article.

Our CH4 sensor is designed for seamless integration with a 50 ml luer lock syringe, making calibration straightforward and efficient. This setup also allows you to easily introduce drying agents or other additives before the gas reaches the sensor, enhancing your analysis. Plus, any analyzed gas can be collected afterward for further examination.

This versatile sensor is available in two options: one for measuring CH4 concentrations from 0-5% and another for a broader range of 0-100% CH4 concentration. Choose the perfect fit for your needs!

Create your own collection chambers with ease! You have the option to build them yourself or source them directly from us. We typically use durable PVC pressure pipes and end caps, which are readily available at most building supply stores.

If you choose to construct the chamber on your own, we offer a convenient adapter to seamlessly connect the collection funnel to your system. Enjoy the flexibility and customization that fits your specific needs!

Introducing our specially designed small semicircular buoy, perfect for your needs! This buoy is filled with polystyrene, ensuring it stays afloat even if the outer shell gets cracked during deployment. Its unique semicircular shape prevents birds and larger animals from perching on it, protecting your system from potential damage.

The buoy features a central hole for easy assembly, allowing you to feed the collection chamber through with minimal hassle. If you're using smaller collection chambers, reducers may be required for a snug fit. Additionally, the system can be securely anchored using the eyebolts on the bottom, providing peace of mind during use.
