The feasibility of trace element supplementation for stable operation of wheat stillage-fed biogas tank reactors
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of trace element supplementation on operation of wheat stillage-fed biogas tank reactors. The stillage used was a residue from bio-ethanol production, containing high levels of sulfate. In biogas production, high sulfate content has been associated with poor process stability in terms of low methane production and accumulation of process ...

Ensuring Safety and Compliance in Biogas Facilities: The Role of Biogas Analyzer
Biogas has emerged as a promising renewable energy source with significant environmental benefits. It is produced through the anaerobic digestion of organic materials such as agricultural waste, food scraps, and sewage sludge. Biogas predominantly consists of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), along with traces of impurities like hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and moisture. While biogas offers ...

Biolimp siloxa. Plant for biogas cleaning
The biogas produced in a digester, landfill or waste water plant is normally treated in order to remove water, H2S, dust and/or CO2. The choice of the cleaning method employed and the compound to be removed depends on the type of end use of the gas. This paper focuses on desing, star up and operation of biogas cleaning plant for removal dangerous component (water, H2S, NH3, siloxane and ...

Increasing biogas yield through addition of food waste
1. Introduction The Moosburg wastewater treatment plant has one 634,008 gallons anaerobic digester, which was designed to process a maximum 23,775 gallons/day of activated sludge at 3.5% solids. The AD is currently processing 17,170 gallons/day of sludge and producing 39decatherms/day of energy from biogas. The operators would like to better utilize their anaerobic digester to achieve energy ...

Portable biogas bottling plant: a practical approach for using biogas as transportation fuel in rural areas
Biogas contains about 65% methane, 30-35% carbon dioxide, traces of hydrogen sulphide and moisture. It has been observed that diesel engines get severely damaged when operated on biogas for long duration. Presence of these corrosive gases make biogas unsuitable for transportation application. By removing CO2 and trace acidic gases like H2S and moisture, biogas can be converted into natural gas ...

Anaerobic digestion foaming in full-scale biogas plants: a survey on causes and solutions
Anaerobic digestion foaming is a common operation problem in biogas plants with negative impacts on the biogas plants economy and environment. A survey of 16 Danish full-scale biogas plants on foaming problems revealed that most of them had experienced foaming in their processes up to three times per year. Foaming incidents often lasted from one day to three weeks, causing 20–50% ...

Biogas cleaning / conditioning - A requirement for optimal functioning of CHP systems
Biogas is obtained through the anaerobic decomposition (putrefaction) of organic matter. It contains methane (CH4) in varying proportions, ranging from 35% to 70%, a proportion which largely depends on production methods and the materials involved in the process. This methane concentration is what enables biogas to be used as fuel. The release of methane into the atmosphere contributes to an ...
