How the OASU works is simply explained
Always connected
The OASU immediately sends these measurement results online to our OASU App. The app is made available to the system operator by the ATFO and he can use it to view the measurement results. They can see what their system is doing via a programmed traffic light system. Green means everything is OK. Yellow means that measures need to be taken.
The operator can view everything clearly and precisely on his device – long before there are any problems with the system. The measures for optimizing the biogas/biomethane yields can be calculated.
Measurements
The “breathing” of the biogas/biomethane plant becomes visible.

The OASU immediately sends these measurement results online to our OASU app. The app is provided to the system operator by the ATFO. The operator can see what their system is doing via a programmed traffic light system. Green means everything is OK. Yellow means that measures need to be taken.
The operator can view everything clearly and precisely on his device – long before there are any problems with his system. The biogas/biomethane yield can be optimized in this way at any time.
Important to know: The OASU can be connected to both existing and new systems.
In perspective, additional data provides even greater depth of information
In the future, we will be able to use AI to give the system operator tailored recommendations for action. With specific measures, he can quickly get the system back to its target condition.
We help to optimize your substrate input and thus reduce your costs.
With several measurements per day, we can immediately show how a fermenter reacts to changes in substrate use.
This allows us to draw direct conclusions about the future development of plant performance. In addition, the OASU and the recommended measures influence the fluctuations in biogas output: they become significantly lower. We help you to adjust your substrate supply in a targeted manner.
All this also means that you save time, the convenience of system control increases and the stress in day-to-day system operation decreases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Fast, accurate and profitable.
The new dimension of controlling of biogas/biomethane systems
OASU is the abbreviation for ‘Organic Acid Sensoring Unit’, i.e. sensor unit for organic acids.
Yes, thanks to the OASU you can run your system more to the limit and significantly reduce fluctuations in biogas/biomethane output. As a result, you will probably be able to produce at least 2 to 5%, and in individual cases even more than 10%, additional biogas/biomethane.
Yes, both are possible without any problems.
Yes, you benefit from significant cost savings in the following 3 ways:
a) no more costs for laboratories and no/less costs for external consultants
b) lower costs for the procurement of organic materials via optimized fermenter input
c) avoidance of “plant crashes” and the associated costs (shutdown, clearing, refilling, vaccination)
The OASU takes measurements several times a day.
ATFO is an abbreviation for Advanced Technology For Organics.
We would be happy to answer your questions. Please use our contact options to do this.
Even though the product will not be ready for series production until the first half of 2025, you are welcome to contact us now to express your interest. We will then mark you accordingly and approach you without being asked when we go to the market. This means you can be among the first to benefit from the diverse benefits of the OASU.

Not only we, but also other experts are convinced of our technology:
“… From our point of view, this technology is part of the essential core of a sustainable generation of controllable energy that is in demand on the market as electricity, heat or fuel in the form of biomethane. Against this background, the business model is particularly promising and shows a very clear market need… In my view, ATFO’s technology is groundbreaking [emphasis added by ATFO] in terms of affordable further automation of biogas plant technology on an industrial scale…”
