 Biogas,
and particularly landfill gas, or LFG,
is usually heavily contaminated with
VOCs (Volatile Organic Contaminants).
VOC levels can exceed 1,000 ppmv, and
are usually at least 50 ppmv, requiring
removal by specialized treatment
equipment so LFG can be used as a
reliable fuel. Treatment systems for
heavily contaminated biogas utilize
media that is regenerated on a
continuous basis to prevent siloxanes,
halogenated VOCs and other harmful VOCs
from entering combustion equipment or
being released to the atmosphere.
Organosilicons
cause most of the damage to Internal
Combustion (IC)
 engines, microturbines,
boilers and SCR catalysts. We measure
the organosilicon content, major gas
components (methane, nitrogen, oxygen,
carbon monoxide & carbon dioxide),
complete VOC (volatile organic
contaminant) spectrum, plus organic and
inorganic sulfur of your biogas. From
this analysis, our biogas molecular
scientists can determine the fouling
potential (from silica formation) and
treatability of your biogas.
Additional
services can be provided with your test
results. We can develop a complete gas
profile and determine the proper
treatment processes needed to meet even
the most stringent biogas specifications
for use as a fuel. These treatment
methods can include:
-
Siloxane (and other organosilicon)
Removal
-
Moisture Removal
-
Sulfur Removal
-
Methane Content Upgrade
-
System Maintenance
