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.
FEATURED PRODUCT
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.
