Effect of ammonia on methane production pathways and reaction rates in acetate-fed biogas processes
In order to understand the correlation between ammonia and methanogenesis metabolism, methane production pathways and their specific rates were studied at total ammonium nitrogen (TAN) concentrations of 0.14–9 g/L in three methanogenic sludges fed with acetate, at both mesophilic and thermophilic conditions. Results showed that high levels of TAN had significant inhibition on methanogenesis; ...

Biogas desulfurization and biogas upgrading using a hybrid membrane system – modeling study
Membrane gas permeation using glassy membranes proved to be a suitable method for biogas upgrading and natural gas substitute production on account of low energy consumption and high compactness. Glassy membranes are very effective in the separation of bulk carbon dioxide and water from a methane-containing stream. However, the content of hydrogen sulfide can be lowered only partially. This ...

Decolorization and biogas production by an anaerobic consortium: effect of different azo dyes and quinoid redox mediators
The inhibitory effect of azo dyes and quinoid compounds on an anaerobic consortium was evaluated during a decolorization process and biogas production. In addition, the impact of quinoid compounds such as lawsone (LAW) and anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) on the rate of decolorization of Direct Blue 71 (DB71) was assessed. The anaerobic consortium was not completely inhibited under all ...

Peristaltic Pumps excel in Anaerobic Digestion & Biogas applications
Biogas is a natural gas also known as biofuel or biomass and is produced by breaking down organic material such as household waste, manure and crops grown specifically for biofuel with temperature-sensitive microbes and capturing the by-products. In practice, it is difficult to find a pumping system for this application. Why? The pumps needs to handle fluid media as well as gas parts The ...

The MBR for biological desulfurization of biogas the BioReactor with the DMT BioSulfurex HCP process
Abstract DMT has developed a process for biological desulfurization at low pH for the treatment of biogas. This process (BioSulfurex®) is pH, temperature, nutrient and oxygen controlled. During an intensive research period the elimination capacity (EC) and removal efficiencies (RE) at different process conditions were determined. The effect of variations in H2S loading, cleaning procedures ...

Precise biogas flow measurement: Overcoming the challenges of changing gas composition
INTRODUCTION As oil prices remain high, we are in the midst of a nation-wide initiative to seek renewable sources of energy to increase energy efficiency and energy security. Renewable energy accounted for 13.2% of the domestically produced electricity in 2012. Among the sources of renewable energy is the production of biogas from landfill gas (LFG) or digester gas. The production of biogas is ...

Anaerobic treatability and biogas production potential of selected in-mill streams
Biochemical methane potential assays (BMP assays) were performed to study the potential of anaerobic treatment of in-mill wastewaters. The assay results indicated that condensate and the BCTMP effluent, which are currently treated with the anaerobic internal circulation reactors, were the best streams for anaerobic treatment because of their relatively high degradability (>80%) and initial rates ...

New technology enables biogas plant optimization
Governments around the world are seeking to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the fight against climate change, to reduce waste to landfill, and to increase their utilisation of renewable energy in compliance with international agreements. Consequently, in many countries, subsidies have been made available to encourage the growth of the biogas sector. According to the International ...

Role of Gas Analysis in the Future of Biogas
Although subject to fierce debate over the last few decades, there is now a global scientific consensus that the earth’s climate is warming at an unsustainable rate. Data gathered by Berkeley Earth, the Japanese Meteorological Agency, the Met Office Hadley Centre, NASA, and the NOAA National Climactic Data Centre shows a consistent trend of long-term global rising temperatures. With precise ...

Biogas-fuelled Combined Heat Power Plant Installed at SAS Demeter Energies
SAS Déméter Energies successfully inaugurated its first agricultural biogas plant in early 2018, which processes more than 20,000 tonnes of organic waste per year including manure, slurries and yards. To create value from the 220 Nm3/h of biogas it produces, SAS Déméter Energies chose to install a combined heat and power (CHP) solution, which simultaneously produces ...
