MAXIMIZE BIOMETHANE YIELD

Biogas is a key renewable energy source. Pentair is your partner in turning waste streams into sustainable energy solutions and valuable revenue streams.

Pentair's highly cost-efficient membrane-based biogas upgrading solution - BioPlus - allows for a significantly higher biomethane yield with low methane slip and low energy consumption. The robust design and our dedicated service teams with 24/7 support (local and remote) provide for the best upgrading system availability.

The biomethane can be injected into existing gas grids as a sustainable replacement of fossil natural gas or it can be utilized as fuel – either as Renewable Compressed Natural Gas (Renewable CNG) or Renewable Liquid Natural Gas (Renewable LNG). Utilizing biomethane eliminates fossil fuel based carbon emissions in industrial and domestic environments, transportation, electricity, and heat production.

Our membrane and amine-based upgrading technologies are compatible with our CO2 technology. Add an additional carbon intensity lowering revenue stream to your biogas plant by producing renewable CO2.

Benefits

  • Maximized biomethane yield
  • Low OPEX with low pressure membrane operation
  • Low total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
  • Increased biogas value with the shift from electricity to biomethane production
  • Optional Enclosed Skid solution for ease of installation/relocation and low noise
  • Small footprint and skid height
  • 24/7 remote service and support for high reliability (availability)

PROCESS DESCRIPTION

In the pre-treatment, water and contaminants are removed from the biogas. The biogas pre-treatment allows for modest contamination levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) -- for bulk removal of H2S or VOC’s, other options are available. After pre-treatment, the biogas is compressed to the most OPEX and CAPEX efficient pressure that allows for removal of CO2. The membranes then remove the CO2 from the methane to meet the required Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) specifications. Upgraded bio-methane can be injected into the national grid or further processed to renewable CNG or LNG.
