Biogas upgrading plant with pressurised water scrubbing
Application | Compression Biogas
Country | Italy
Biogas is a valuable energy source that is produced during the fermentation of organic substances and consists mainly of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide CO2. Pressurised water scrubbing is used to treat the biogas by separating the CO2 from the methane. The gas is first pre-compressed to around 1.4 - 2.0 bar(a) and then re-compressed to around 6-8 bar(a) by our oil-free TRE 700 series compressor.
The purified methane can then be further processed: It is either fed into the natural gas grid or used as an environmentally friendly fuel for vehicles. Biomethane is therefore a storable, CO2-neutral energy source that contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. We are proud to have supported our customers for many years and to be working together towards a sustainable energy future.
