==TREATMENT OF BIOGAS BY PRESSURE SWING ADSORPTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240226798 titled 'TREATMENT OF BIOGAS BY PRESSURE SWING ADSORPTION

'''Simplified Explanation:'''
The patent application describes a process for purifying biogas to produce biomethane by treating it in a pressure swing adsorption unit to remove carbon dioxide and water, with the option to remove other impurities like oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide in an additional adsorption bed.

* The process involves using pressure swing adsorption (PSA) or vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) technology to purify biogas.
* Carbon dioxide and water are removed in the first adsorption unit, while other impurities can be eliminated in a second adsorption bed.
* The technology can be implemented in single-stage or two-stage configurations for efficient purification of biogas.

'''Key Features and Innovation:'''
* Utilization of pressure swing adsorption technology for biogas purification.
* Ability to remove carbon dioxide, water, and other impurities from biogas.
* Flexibility to use single-stage or two-stage adsorption beds for enhanced purification.

'''Potential Applications:'''
The technology can be applied in biogas plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and renewable energy production sites.

'''Problems Solved:'''
* Efficient removal of impurities from biogas to produce high-quality biomethane.
* Reduction of carbon footprint by converting biogas into a clean energy source.

'''Benefits:'''
* Production of biomethane for use as a renewable fuel.
* Improved environmental sustainability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
* Enhanced efficiency in biogas purification processes.

'''Commercial Applications:'''
The technology can be utilized in biogas upgrading systems for renewable energy production, as well as in industries requiring clean fuel sources.

'''Questions about Biogas Purification:'''
1. How does the pressure swing adsorption process work in purifying biogas?
2. What are the potential environmental benefits of producing biomethane from biogas?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a process is provided for purification of biogas to produce biomethane. the biogas is treated in a pressure swing adsorption unit to remove carbon dioxide and water. other impurities including oxygen, hydrogen and carbon monoxide may be removed by an additional adsorption bed. the adsorption beds may be single stage or two-stage vpsa or psa adsorption beds.
