Biogas production technology is on the rise as many seek to take advantage of this renewable energy source.

Biogas: Power from Natural Methane

Biogas is a renewable energy source, about half methane/half CO2, produced naturally from decomposing plant- and animal-based materials. It is collected from municipal waste landfills and anaerobic digesters, the latter being large manmade tanks that accelerate the decomposition process. Before it can be used for electricity generation or vehicle fuel, it must be purified into Renewable Natural Gas. This requires filtration and other technologies to remove the CO2 and other harmful impurities.

Hyperchill Bioenergy Water Chiller

For biogas to be used as a fuel, impurities need to be removed to avoid deposits and damage to equipment. This is accomplished by drying the biogas using water-cooled heat exchangers fed by water chillers. Hyperchill Bioenergy is a key technology used in this treatment process.

Biogas is renewable energy stored in organic materials known as biomass. Sources include agricultural residue, food and animal waste, sewage, crops and landfills. For biogas to be used as a fuel, water vapor must be removed to prevent corrosion, deposits and damage to equipment.
