Biogas Treatment in WWTP
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are facilities that consume large amounts of energy (thermal and electrical), as a result of their operation, they produce large amounts of sludge. The anaerobic digestion of these sludges from wastewater treatment produces biogas, which, due to its concentration in methane (CH 4 ), constitutes a biofuel that can be used for energy production. The best ...

Project - Biogas purification at Mapocho WWTP
Biogas is a mixture of gases, the main components of which are methane and carbon dioxide, produced as a result of the fermentation of organic matter in the absence of air by the action of a microbial consortium (anaerobic digestion). The composition of the biogas depends entirely on the nature of the waste used and the conditions under which anaerobic digestion is carried out. Generally, the ...

The elimination of siloxanes from the biogas of a wastewater treatment plant by means of an adsorption process
Siloxanes present in the biogas produced during anaerobic digestion in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can damage the mechanism of cogeneration heat engines and obstruct the process of energy valorization. The objective of this research is to detect the presence of siloxanes in the biogas and evaluate a procedure for their elimination. A breakthrough curve of a synthetic ...

Biogas desulfurization and siloxanes abatement - Case Study
MCFC project by CETAGUA (Mataró – Spain) Reducing the carbon footprint of our society is imperative. This can be achieved by capturing and confining anthropogenic CO2 emissions as well as by replacing fossil-based fuels with renewable or waste-derived fuels. MCFCs (Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells) are unique in being able to do both these things. Thanks to their operating principle, ...

Evaluation of treatment potential, biogas generation and sludge properties of an anaerobic claridigester
The anaerobic process for the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater has been in practice for over a century. Apart from treatment of wastewater, the process has the advantage of lower sludge and biogas production that can save energy. Application of this process in a primary clarifier in such a way that there is simultaneous digestion of primary settled sludge and organic removal ...

Phase 1 Castaldo S.p.A. - Giugliano, Italy - Case Study
The Giugliano project was separated into two separate phases. During Phase 1 in 2016 we designed and built the Giugliano facility to process 36,000 t/a of source separated organics, including approximately 80% household organics and 20% leaf and yard waste. The facility uses 13 dryAD tunnels and/or 10 composting tunnels to convert organic waste into compost and biogas. The biogas that is ...

Chances for Bio-LNG
Abstract An increasing effort is put into the utilization of organic waste streams in anaerobic digesters, producing useful products such as fertilizers and biogas. It becomes increasingly attractive to upgrade biogas to natural gas quality and consequently liquefy the gas to Bio-LNG. DMT Environmental Technology has been developing biogas treatment plants for over 25 years, closely following ...

Biogas upgrading: Membrane separation takes over
Abstract Due to governmental incentives and growing environmental awareness, it becomes increasingly attractive to upgrade biogas to natural gas quality and inject it into the natural gas grid or to use it as transport fuel. In this way, the biomethane can be utilized with the highest energy efficiency. Progressively, effort is being put into the utilization of organic waste streams in anaerobic ...

Effect of thermal and alkaline pretreatment of giant miscanthus and Chinese fountaingrass on biogas production
Giant miscanthus (Miscanthus×giganteus) and Chinese fountaingrass (Pennisetum alopecuroides (L.) Spreng), cultivated for landscaping and soil conservation, are potential energy crops. The study investigated the effect of combined thermal and alkaline pretreatments on biogas production of these energy crops. The pretreatment included two types of alkali (6% CaO and 6% NaOH) at 22, 70 and 100 ...

Evaluation of the simultaneous biogas upgrading and treatment of centrates in a high-rate algal pond through C, N and P mass balances
The simultaneous capture of CO2 from biogas and removal of carbon and nutrients from diluted centrates in a 180 L high-rate algal pond (HRAP) interconnected to a 2.5 L absorption column were evaluated using a C, N and P mass balance approach. The experimental set-up was operated indoors at 75 μE/m2·s for 24 h/d at 20 days of hydraulic retention time for 2 months of steady state, ...
