Developments in biogas standardization
The ISO standardization institute established a technical committee TC 255 “Biogas” which is developing new standards since 2015.
TC 255 is developing standards about biogas installations, such as fermentation, biogas treatment, biogas upgrading & liquefaction, flares, gasification, power to gas etcetera. The sizes of the installations vary from domestic and farm scale to industrial scale. The focus is on safety, environmental and performance aspects.
Experts of Hofstetter in the area of flares, gas treatment and biogas upgrading are participating in these developments. A representant of Hofstetter is convenor of a working group developing a standard for terms, definitions and classifications of biogas, which document is the basis for more specific biogas subjects. The committee draft ISO standard ISO 20675 has passed the first official ballot procedure for TC members and the procedure for the Draft International Standard (DIS) ballot (participating country members) will start soon.
Furthermore working groups for flares, domestic biogas installations and environmental & safety have been established. Experts from Hofstetter are participating in these working groups.
For more information about standardization of biogas installations please contact the standardization institute in your country.
In the Netherlands the national standardization institute NEN has established a working group “biogas installations” which is part of the committee “biomethane”. Experts from the Netherlands (under which Hofstetter experts) have developed draft documents for fermentation, biogas treatment, biogas upgrading & liquefaction, gasification and pipelines for raw biogas (not part of the public grid). The focus is on safety, environmental and performance aspects. A representant of Hofstetter is chairman of this working group. Publications of these draft NEN standards for comments will follow end 2016 or early 2017.
