Biogas Upgrading Plant

Biogas is an environmentally friendly, clean and cheap combustible gas produced by microorganisms in anaerobic environment, such as livestock manure, agricultural waste, industrial organic waste, domestic sewage and municipal domestic waste, and its main components are methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. Biogas is mainly purified and used for urban gas, vehicle fuel, hydrogen production, etc.

Biogas is a mixture of gases produced by the fermentation of organic material by microorganisms under anaerobic conditions. Biogas is a mixture of several gases with properties similar to natural gas, the main component being methane. Biogas upgrading and purification can be realized to purify methane. The biogas extraction biogas plant designed and manufactured by Minnuo can effectively remove impurities such as condensate, hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from biogas and maintain a very high recovery rate of CH4.

There are four methods to realize the purification of biogas, which are absorption, variable pressure adsorption, low temperature condensation and membrane separation methods.

Minnuo, as a professional biogas upgrading and purification equipment company, we have first-class biogas upgrading and purification technology, professional systems and low prices, and we constantly follow up the progress of the project from the design of the plan, and we can also customize the biogas purification and bottling units.

Frequently Asked Questions about Biogas Upgrading

Q1: What is a biogas upgrading system and how does it work?

Biogas upgrading system is a facility designed to concentrate methane (CH4) by removing carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and other impurities from raw biogas. Minnuo’s systems utilize advanced biogas purification technology—primarily PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption)—to transform raw waste gas into high-purity biomethane that meets natural gas quality standards.

Q2: What are the main technologies used in a biogas upgrading plant?

As a professional biogas upgrading plant manufacturer, Minnuo offers several core technologies:

  • PSA Biogas Upgrading: Uses molecular sieves to separate CO2 under pressure.
  • Membrane Separation: High-purity methane extraction using semi-permeable membranes.
  • Chemical/Water Scrubbing: Efficient for large-scale CO2 removal.
  • Cryogenic Purification: For producing liquid biomethane (LBG).

Q3: What are the technical advantages of Minnuo’s biogas upgrading equipment?

Our biogas upgrading equipment stands out due to its high efficiency and reliability:

  • High Recovery Rate: Methane recovery rate .
  • Flexible Purity: CH4 concentration can reach 93%–99%+.
  • Energy Saving: Advanced air separation technology reduces energy consumption by 5%-15%.
  • Intelligent Control: Equipped with remote monitoring for real-time fault detection and safe operation.

Q4: Why is the biogas purification process necessary?

The biogas purification process is essential for converting raw biogas into a versatile energy source. Raw biogas contains corrosive H2S and non-combustible CO2. Through purification biogas treatment, the final product can be used as:

  1. Vehicle fuel (CNG).
  2. Injection into the natural gas grid.
  3. Industrial raw material for hydrogen production.

Q5: Can the biogas purification system be customized for small-scale projects?

Absolutely. We provide customized biogas purification system solutions with a wide treatment range from 50 to 20,000 Nm³/h. We offer skid-mounted and containerized designs that are easy to transport and install, making them ideal for livestock farms, sewage treatment plants, and food waste facilities.
