Empirical Validation of a Biogas Plant Simulation Model and Analysis of Biogas Upgrading Potentials

Operational Study and Simulation of a Biogas Upgrading Plant

Samson O. Masebinu, Akinwale O. Aboyade, Edison Muzenda Abstract-The drive for finding alternative energy to supplement fossil based fuel within the South African energy sector has led to research on waste to energy in particular biomethane as vehicular fuels. Biogas is produced from the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter with 40-70% vol. of methane. Biogas if upgraded, by removing the n...

Selected Methods of Advanced Biogas Upgrading

The upgrading of biogas for the production of biomethane to be injected to the natural gas grid has gained significant importance in recent years. It is often considered to be superior to the production of electricity and district heat with internal combustion engines mainly because of better energy utilisation, higher flexibility and beneficial economic prospects. Biogas upgrading is commonly ...

Biogas Upgrading by Pressure Swing Adsorption

Biogas Plant Constructions

The chapter concerns with the constructions of the commercial biogas plants as well as the small and household units. Furthermore, the chapter aims at providing a clear description of the structures and constructions of the anaerobic digesters and the used building materials. Ultimately, the chapter answers an important question: how to build a commercial biogas plant and a household unit, and ...
