Bilfinger EMS GmbH OASEgreen Process 5 Simplified process Desulfurisation before or after upgrading No pre-dehydration Long absorbent lifetime H2S < 5 mg/m³ possible operation slightly above atmospheric pressure High biomethane recovery Extremely low methane losses <0,05% Methane enrichment to > 99,0 Vol.% Advantages for grid injection Compression after CO2 removal Smaller compressors required
Bilfinger EMS GmbH Advantages of OASEgreen Process 6 Advantages of OASEgreen : Chemisorption of H2S Developed solvent: BASF SE, Bilfinger EMS, Wingas Methane-loss < 0,05% Oxygen-resistant Low pressure process ( at atmospheric pressure) Minimum loss of solvent < 5% per year) No unmeant reaction with gas-components Low regeneration-temperature Non hazardous solvent (WGK Class 1) High durability of min 24.000 h (up to 48.000h) Advantages of our upgrading unit: Low maintenance cost Low Energy consumption E <0,06 kwh/nm³ raw biogas T < 0,7 kwh/nm³ raw biogas < 0,4 kwh/nm³ if using excess heat Use of different heat-sources possible Upgrading from 600 up to 10.000 Nm³/h Fully automated process (daily inspection <1h) Modular compact skid mounted standarized design
