Solutions
Biogasclean supplies a full range of biological H2S removal systems
We have developed two different technologies – BTR and MBR – and offer three different types of gas cleaners so it is possible to choose the best solution for your project. The gas cleaners can be designed to handle any flow and H2S content in the raw biogas and can be installed at greenfield projects or refurbishment of existing plants. Typically the H2S is reduced to 50-250 ppm but Biogasclean can reduce to other values if required.
BTR – How it works
In a BTR – Bio Trickling Reactor – the biogas is forced through one or more process tanks with a packing material. The microbes grow on the surface of the packing material forming a biofilm. The H2S in the biogas is transferred from the gas phase into the biofilm, where is used as energy source by the bacteria which oxidize H2S to sulfate and elemental sulfur.
The bacteria are aerobic; they require oxygen. Therefore, atmospheric air is injected into the raw biogas or the CO2 stream at the inlet to the process tank. The scrubber liquid is trickling down the packing material and provides moisture and nutrients for the bacteria. The temperature in the process tank is kept between 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F). The effluent from the process is a liquid fertilizer which is discharged into the outflow from the anaerobic digester.
MBR – How it works
MBR – Moving Bed Reactor – is Biogasclean’s groundbreaking and patented technology for cleaning biogas with a high sulfur content. The MBR technology is especially developed for biogas generated on waste waters with high organic loads such as ethanol distilleries. The MBR has a very compact design and only requires 25-30% tank volume compared to biotrickling.
After compression, cooling and air injection the raw biogas with H2S is bubbled through one or more process tanks with liquid containing the moving MBR media. The MBR system is fully automated and is simple to operate and maintain, including cleaning of packing media.
Key features
There are four key features that are common for all our solutions:
- Safety
- Automatic and reliable operation
- Low operating costs
- Guaranteed performance
We look forward to meeting you!
Please contact us if you need an efficient solution for desulfurization or methanation of biogas or CO2. We can help you for any flow of biogas or CO2 flow and H2S load no matter if your project is greenfield or refurbishment of an existing plant. We will be happy to share our experience with you and find an optimal solution for your needs.
