Biogas/ Landfill Gas Upgrading

Biogas Upgrading Biogas is produced by the anaerobic digestion of organic matter such as manure, sewage sludge, industrial waste, the organic fractions of household waste, etc Biogas can be upgraded to be a substitute for natural gas The typical gas composition of biogas and biomethane are as follows: Biogas CH 4 : ~60% CO 2 : ~39% N 2 +O 2 : <1% H 2 S: 50-5000 ppm H 2 O: Saturated Siloxanes: Trace Biomethane CH 4 : >96% CO 2 : ~1% O 2 : <0.4% Total inerts: <4% H 2 S: <1 ppm H 2 O: <1 ppm Siloxanes: <1 ppm

How Water Scrubbing Works The raw biogas is compressed, then fed to a scrubbing vessel where it is contacted with water. CO2, H2S, siloxanes and other trace contaminants are preferentially absorbed by the water. Absorbed methane is flashed off, in a vessel at a lower pressure and recovered by returning it to the start of the process. Product gas is further purified by a proprietary TSA, before being analyzed and delivered to the customer.

Technology Comparison Process Benefits Disadvantages Physical Solvent (other than water) Physical Membrane (high pressure process) PSA / VSA (pressure swing adsorption or molecular sieve) Water Scrubbing (with PSA/TSA purifier) 1. High absorption rate 2. High CH4 yields possible 3. Can deliver biomethane at low pressure 1. Low capital cost 2. Simple plant 3. Experience upgrading LFG 1. Can remove some inert gases, often with an additional process module 2. Low efficiency version cost effective on small scale 1. Excellent safety; proven performance 2. Reliable, simple and easy to maintain 3. Low capital and operating costs 4. Siloxanes effectively removed 1.Safety solvent is dangerous to handle 2. Complex process difficult control system 3. Prohibitive capital costs for new equipment 4. Biogas / LFG contaminants cause foaming 1. Low biomethane purity 2. High energy consumption 3. Membranes foul and require replacement 1.Media becomes fouled and needs replacement 2.Process difficult to control problems maintaining high CH 4 recovery 3.Bed fluidization causes dusting of media 4.Upstream H 2 S removal required 1. Practical capacity limit of ~2500 Nm3/h 2. Does not remove inerts (e.g. O 2 and N 2 )

Flotech Water Scrubbing Technology in Focus Water used as the scrubbing agent - Water scrubbing process upgrades raw biogas to vehicle fuel or pipeline standards efficiently, and with less impact on the environment Biomethane quality exceeds recognized international vehicle fuel standards and natural gas quality specifications. Hydrogen Sulphide - Flotech s innovative, patented polishing process is proven to reduce biomethane H2S carryover to less than 1 ppm in the biomethane. Siloxanes -Flotech s system removes siloxanes to the levels required for reliable use for internal combustion engines Track Record - Flotech has the longest and best track record in the industry

High Availability Biomethane Systems Greenlane biomethane plants have the highest availability in the market. Twenty years of experience and seven generations of design have translated into a set of standard systems with no surprises. Issues around biogas liquids handling, contaminant fouling, biogas composition variations, etc., have been solved. Repeating proven designs with reliable components controlled by verified software is our recipe for eliminating operational risk. Remote monitoring and management ensure plants perform as expected.
