An Introduction to H2s And Co2 Scrubbing

The gas mainly consists of methane, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. However, it also contains some contaminants, so reducing or eliminating those impurities using a biogas scrubber is essential to ensure that the gas meets emissions standards. Check here is the process used for CO2 and H2S Scrubbing.

  1. An Introduction to H2s And Co2 Scrubbing Biogas, a renewable source of energy, is generated after breaking down organic matter like agricultural waste, food scraps, manure and more. This gas primarily comprises methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). However, it also contains certain pollutants, so reducing or eliminating those impurities using a biogas scrubber is essential to ensure that the gas meets the emission standards. But before we understand the scrubbing of CO2 and H2S, let us start things off with the layman’s understanding of biogas scrubbing. What is Biogas Scrubbing? Biogas scrubbing is a process of increasing the calorific value of purified gas to convert it into a usable source of energy or fuel. The process focuses on decreasing the impurities such as Carbon dioxide, Hydrogen sulfide & Moisture. and is done to enhance the gas quality. The higher the presence of carbon dioxide, the lower the quality of biogas and its capacity to burn. Similarly, the presence of H2S

  2. (Hydrogen sulfide) also affects the gas’s quality. Biogas containing H2S damages biogas plants and releases SO2 (Sulfur Dioxide), which is highly toxic to the environment. Therefore, a CO2 scrubber is used to reduce impurities in the gas, making it more combustible. Similarly, a hydrogen sulfide scrubber is used to decrease the presence of H2S. What Processes are Used for CO2 and H2S Scrubbing? Reducing the presence of impurities in biogas is important to upgrade the gas to its highest potential. Since carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide are two greenhouse gases present in significant amounts, several scrubbing processes are used to decrease their content. The most popular ones are chemical or physical absorption, chemical conversion, membrane separation, and cryogenic separation. The presence of hydrogen sulfide in biogas can lead to corrosion in engines, gas storage tanks, and compressors. In addition, it is dangerous for the environment as well. Thus, it is vital to treat the content of H2S either using a dry oxidation process or a liquid phase oxidation process. Overall, the PSA biogas cleaning system consists of towers wherein the biogas passes through multiple purification containers and comes in contact with the adsorbents The adsorbent acts as a reversible sponge which adsorbs the carbon dioxide under pressure and releases it under vacuum conditions. This interaction aims to decrease the presence of carbon dioxide in the biogas to make it safe for further use. Wrapping Up The entire process of biogas scrubbing aims to positively influence the calorific value of biogas. Biogas’s calorific value is determined by the presence of methane, which further facilitates its possible use in several industrial or commercial applications.
