Whether it’s combined with a Kompogas® plant to create a complete solution or deployed on a standalone basis, BioMethan gas upgrading technology completes the range of HZI products enabling energy to be produced from any sort of waste or biomass – in this case employing an upgrading process to convert raw biogases into high-purity biomethane that can be used as a versatile energy source. A by-product of the process is carbon dioxide, which can be used to generate additional revenues in the form of gaseous, liquefied or solid carbon dioxide deployed as an industrial product gas – for example in plant breeding, as an extinguishing agent or refrigerant, or as a raw material in the chemical industry. HZI’s BioMethan technology thus makes a major, direct contribution to efforts to increase the use of renewable energy, phase out fossil fuels, and decarbonise the society in which we live. Advantages of BioMethan Technology Raw gases from a wide range of different sources are suitable for upgrading: the digestion of municipal green waste, organic household waste or agricultural biomass. Sewage and landfill gas can also be converted into energy. This extends a plant’s value chain and promotes the circular economy. Depending on the composition, the raw gas pretreatment may be required. Then comes the main process, where the carbon dioxide in the stream of gas is separated from the methane, with the resulting biomethane conditioned to the desired quality parameters. In consideration of the requirements and circumstances, HZI offers two separation processes: amine scrubbing and membrane technology. Both guarantee the highest quality and maximise the purity of the methane. Biomethane is highly versatile. It can be used to generate heat and power, or as a compressed or liquefied biofuel. Given that it is natural gas quality, it can be transported and stored in the existing gas grid infrastructure. Unlike fossil fuels, biomethane is a sustainable energy source and can be produced on a calculable basis. The technology’s modular container construction allows several units to be combined, enabling plants to be designed flexibly to upgrade gas volumes of between 100 m3 and 2000 m3/h or even greater. Technology and Services Membrane Technology Amine Scrubbing ACR Add-on for Renewable Fuels Agricultural Package In the first step of the process the raw gas is pretreated and compressed to operating pressure. After drying, heating and fine purification, the gas is fed into the membrane modules. The carbon dioxide is separated from the methane by selective gas permeation, with the CO2 passing through the surface of the membranes more quickly than the methane, which is retained in the membranes and removed from the modules as product gas. This is a plug-and-play process technology requiring no additional operating resources such as water or heat.
