CH4 & CO2 purification for biogas
In addition to the renewable energy sources of wind and solar power, biogas is also an option. According to a forecast, the number of biogas plants in Germany was set to rise from 9,600 to almost 9,700 in 2021. The nominal capacity of biomass plants in Germany amounted to 9,301 MW in 2020 – compared to a global output of 145 GW (source: Statista). However, according to the Federal Environment Agency, following the reduction in subsidies for biogas plants > 150 kW in 2017, the expansion of biogas plants is declining sharply.
Gas purification units are an excellent way of continuing to use the main components of biogas – biomethane and carbon dioxide – after they have been separated.
Good to know: ReiCat offers gas purification systems for both CH4 and CO2 purification, and the different gas purification processes can be combined if required. A system concept individually designed according to the degree of contamination enables cost-effective gas purification. A further advantage is the implementation in the customer’s existing gas supply concept.
Many people are already aware that carbon dioxide purification is one of our oldest competencies. But methane purification is also no problem with our expertise. We enable the cost-effective production of pure gas with low energy consumption.
