Biogas Production

On-site oxygen for biogas production

Biogas is an up-and-coming renewable source of energy. It is produced by taking waste from households or businesses and turning it into a green fuel that can be used to generate gas, electricity and heat. Oxygen plays an important role in this process because it reacts with an undesirable byproduct of biogas production (hydrogen sulfide). This reduces the amount of hydrogen sulfide to a safe level and protects downstream equipment.

Oxygen requirements in biogas production

Oxygen plays a crucial role in the production of biogas. That’s why biogas plants must have a reliable oxygen supply. The oxygen also needs to be available at the correct flow to maintain the right level of hydrogen sulfide while minimizing oxygen use. The oxygen purity also must be high enough to reduce nitrogen content and improve the Wobbe/energy index while avoiding a needlessly high specification that comes with a higher cost per m3.

What are the benefits of on-site oxygen generation?

Many companies still purchase their oxygen, even though generating it on-site offers significant advantages. On-site oxygen generation provides greater cost-efficiency, allowing businesses to save money over time. It also eliminates the need for bottled or liquid oxygen deliveries, reducing the overall environmental footprint. By producing oxygen in-house, companies gain full control over their supply, ensuring a reliable and consistent source. Additionally, it simplifies operations by removing the logistical challenges associated with external deliveries.
