Outline Introduction Upgrading techniques Process Cost estimation Waste streams Ease of operation Comparison Conclusions Recommendations Questions
Introduction Biogas Demands Upgrading
Upgrading techniques • Chemical absorption • High pressure water scrubbing • Pressure swing adsorption • Cryogenic separation • Membrane separation Process Input/output Cost estimation Investment costs Running costs Waste streams Ease of operation
Chemical absorption (I) Absorption of CO2
Chemical absorption (II) Combined output: 137 Nm3/h 90% yield 98% purity Absorption of H2S
Chemical absorption (III) Cost estimation
High pressure water scrubbing (I) Output: 144 Nm3/h 94 % yield 98 % purity
High pressure water scrubbing (II) Cost estimation
Pressure swing adsorption (I) Output: 139 Nm3/h 91 % yield 98 % purity
Pressure swing adsorption (II) Cost estimation
Cryogenic separation (I) Output: 161 Nm3/h 98 % yield 91 % purity
Cryogenic separation (II) Cost estimation
Membrane separation (I) Output: 130 Nm3/h 78 % yield 90 % purity
Membrane separation (II) Cost estimation
Outline Introduction Upgrading techniques Process Cost estimation Waste streams Ease of operation Comparison Conclusions Recommendations Questions
Conclusions High pressure water scrubbing cheapest option HPWS & membrane easy to operate and no chemicals needed Membrane separation is promising Each technique has its advantages depending on the goal HPWS best overall performance: - high yield and purity - compact setup - no chemicals - only one waste stream
Recommendations Investigate cost of waste treatment Calculate CO2 footprint Investigate different types of catalysts and membranes Optimize cryogenic separation
