Now is Gruen!
In Europe, biogas purification commenced in the 2000s with the implementation of washing systems and membrane technologies. Both systems showed severe operational issues after some time of operation and new processes based on PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) coming from industrial gas purification were developed.
Washing processes are no longer used for new projects and as membranes were found to be less resistant to biogas contaminants and are mainly used for smaller installations only. PSA systems are continuously regenerated and work with the same level of efficiency, simplicity and easiness of operation for 20 years and longer. Moreover, they do not generate toxic waste and consume minimal energy.
Gruen Biogas utilizes its proprietary technology based on industrial PSA processes to purify natural gas and hydrogen. The technology has the capability to efficiently process high volumes of biogas, achieving a high methane recovery rate with excellent adaptability to accommodate variations in flow rates and component concentrations, all while ensuring the biomethane quality according to the specifications outlined by the ANP – National Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Biofuels Agency.
Gruen Biogas production lines can process biogas from digestion of biomass as well as biogas from landfill sites with up to 30% of N2. Furthermore, Gruen Biogas possesses proprietary biogas pre-treatment technology designed to effectively eliminate contaminants commonly found in biogas from various sources, including H2S, NH3, VOCs, and siloxanes.
By issuing carbon credits, producers and investors in the production of biomethane can boost the profitability and economic sustainability of their project.
