Abstract
The present study gives support for the use of Pd-MOS sensors for the quantification of H2 in studies of biogas production. Furthermore, the study indicates a possibility of simultaneous H2S quantification by use of the Pd-MOS device. A model is also presented which includes the other major gas components in the studied process. Given suitable parameter adjustments, all the major gas components are accounted for, yielding a sum within ±3% from the ideal.
