Pentair Biogas Upgrading Solutions
- Pentair BioCompact: the biogas upgrading system for smaller capacities. (75/125/250/350/500/750 m3/h).
- Pentair BioBasic: The biogas upgrading system with a capacity of > 1000 m3/h unlocks a renewable energy source: biomethane.
- Pentair BioPlus: The advanced biogas upgrading system with a capacity of > 1000 m3/h helps unlock two additional revenue streams: biomethane for gas grid injection or as transport fuel bio-CNG and bio-LNG.
- Pentair BioComplete: The comprehensive biogas upgrading system with a capacity of> 1000 m3/h unlocks two additional revenue streams: biomethane and bio-CO2.
- BioAmine - A cost-efficient solution for capacities from
3000 - 6000 m3/h and beyond.
OPTIONAL BOLT-ON:
- Pentair CO2Bolt-On: Produce bio-CO2 from your upgrading biogas.
- Pentair BioSENSE: Manage VOC contamination levels of your biogas.
Overcome volatility
Conquer energy market volatility by reducing reliance on fossil based fuels with renewable fuel, biomethane.
New revenue streams
Sell biomethane to the national grid, use bio-CNG or bio-LNG as a transport fuel and use bio-CO2 for industrial applications such as fresh product packaging.
Decarbonize operations
If you have an emissions target to reach, talk to Pentair. Become a circular business through biogas upgrading.

How does it work?
The heart of the system is the membrane separation unit. The membrane separates the two major gas components: CH4 and CO2. The separation is accomplished through the pressure difference over the membrane surface.
The high-pressure biogas is fed into the membrane, and the CO2 passes through the membrane surface to the permeate, the low-pressure side, much faster than CH4.
The membranes are pressure-driven, so the higher the pressure, the more CO2 will pass through the membrane surface. The discharge from the membrane (the retentate) contains mainly CH4, as the CO2 has been pushed through the membrane surface. The CO2 rich gas will leave the membrane on the low-pressure side of the membrane (permeate).
The simple approach to turning biogas into biomethane is realized with Pentair’s BioBasic, which recovers biomethane as a replacement for fossil based natural gas while meeting quality requirements in a cost-efficient solution.
The advanced approach of turning biogas into biomethane is realized with Pentair’s upgrading solution BioPlus, which recovers biomethane as a replacement for fossil-based natural gas.
Pentair’s BioComplete is the most comprehensive approach to turning biogas into biomethane in combination with our efficient CO2 technology that provides you with an additional carbon intensity lowering revenue stream: food-grade CO2.
Pentair’s CO2Bolt-On is the proper installation to create green liquid CO2 from a renewable, cost-efficient source: upgraded biogas.
BioSENSE is developed for biogas producers that want to increase their profitability and reduce their risks.
Integrating our Pentair experience, we have combined the compression and membrane solution into one skid. These skids range from 125 Nm3 to 750 Nm3.
