2. Introduction Biogas from anaerobic digestion
Composition:
CH4 : 65-70%
CO2 : 30-35%
Water vapour
Traces of H2S, oxidised sulphur compounds, H2, halogenated compounds (landfills), siloxanes,…
Not useable as such for introduction in gas grid or as CNG
Need to increase energy content and remove trace gases
3. Removal of impurities Required gas quality = function of application Purification methods Traditional: scrubbing, pressure swing adsorption, cryogenics Gas membranes
