Membranes in biogas upgrading

Abstract:
Single & 2-stage methane enrichment of biogas is simulated and displayed using dimensionless numbers. The second focus of this poster is the separation performance of elastomeric membranes used to deplete trace compounds in biogases, namely volatile organic silicon compounds. A selection of elastomeric membranes have been prepared and tested on landfill gas over a period of six weeks and their separation performance of selected trace compounds was analysed with GC-MS.
