In today’s world, industries are under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable solutions that minimize environmental impact and optimize resource use.
One of the most promising solutions is the production of biogas from wastewater – a process that not only reduces environmental impact but also creates a valuable energy resource.
Biogas is a mixture of gases produced during the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. It primarily consists of methane (CH4) (50–75%) and carbon dioxide (CO2) (25–50%), with trace amounts of other gases like hydrogen sulfide (H2S) which can be toxic, corrosive, and dangerous to both health and equipment.
Methane, the main component of biogas, is a potent energy source that can be used for electricity generation, heating, and even as a vehicle fuel.
To ensure safe and efficient usage, desulphurization is required, especially for applications such as upgrading biogas to natural gas quality or preventing damage to engines, boilers, and pipes.
