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 ...

Protect your biogas installations and reduce the maintenance costs
The conversion of biogas into green energy is not only environmentally friendly, but also contributes to the optimization of natural resources. More and more industries have biogas stations to take advantage of waste generated in these facilities, contributing to generate a circular economy where all available resources are exploited. Biogas plants need to remove impurities before it is ...

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 ...

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 ...

Thermal exergy optimisation for an irreversible cogeneration power plant
The optimal design model, based on exergy analysis, of an irreversible cogeneration cycle has been presented using finite-time thermodynamics. The external irreversibility is due to the thermal resistance between the system and the heat reservoirs while the internal irreversibility is due to the non-isentropic compression and expansion process within the system. The internal irreversibility of ...

What is Cogeneration?
Cogeneration is the process of generating both electrical and heat energy from a single fuel source. Also known as Combined Heat & Power (CHP), cogeneration makes use of the commonly discarded thermal energy which is generated from the combustion of fuels such as diesel, natural gas, bi-fuel, and even heavy fuel oil (HFO). The entire CHP process revolves around fuel-driven electric ...
