This upgrading plant treats biogas from the anaerobic digestion of various organic waste including dairy farm manure, waste water treatment plant sludges, cheese whey and other miscellaneous organic feedstock.
The upgrading plant includes biogas desulfurization using lead/lag activated carbon desulfurization media, non methane organic compounds (NMOC) capture with single use media, dehydration stages, three (3) compression stages and a carbon dioxide (CO2) separation system using hollow fiber membranes manufactured and supplied by UBE Industries of Japan.
The preliminary results of the commissioning of the upgrading plant are very encouraging and the two stage CO2 separation system using the UBE membranes seems to be working flawlessly.
We are very encouraged by these preliminary results and will report again shortly once the biogas upgrading plant operates in a steady state mode.
