Compressed air and oxygen for biogas production
In this e-book, you will learn everything you need to know about compressed air and oxygen generation for your biogas plant.
The process of producing biogas
What is the difference between biogas and biomethane?
The role of oxygen in biogas production
6 ways in which biogas plants benefit from on-site oxygen generation
The importance of monitoring and maintenance
Biogas is a renewable source of energy that is created by collecting and decomposing organic matter.
Its production only requires a few basic components: organic waste, water, and bacteria in an environment without oxygen. Biogas results from a natural process called anaerobic digestion, which is the breakdown of organic matter by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen to produce methane (CH4).
Biogas production has gained popularity because of the need for clean and green energy. It helps lower greenhouse gas emissions by capturing and utilizing methane that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere.This has enabled the expansion of small and large biogas plants around the world.
Today, modern biogas facilities use cutting-edge technology and complex processes to generate electricity, heat, and renewable natural gas (RNG).
Compressed air and oxygen (O2) are essential to enhance the capacity and efficiency of biogas production. Oxygen is used to remove the harmful hydrogen sulphide (H2S) through a process called micro dosing or oxygen dosing. An on-site oxygen generator typically provides a consistent supply of oxygen for biogas facilities to run at very low lifetime costs.
In this ebook, we will explore compressed air and oxygen solutions for biogas production. Whether you are exploring solutions in the biogas field or operating a large-scale biogas plant, compressed air and oxygen generation systems are essential to your operation.
