PLANT AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF PURIFIED METHANE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240352366 titled 'PLANT AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF PURIFIED METHANE
The abstract describes a plant for the production of purified methane from natural gas and biogas, including heavy hydrocarbon removal and CO2 removal units in series in a gas circuit. The plant also features a biogas purification unit that can produce biogas or biomethane with a variable/defined CO2 concentration.
- The plant includes a heavy hydrocarbon removal unit and a CO2 removal unit arranged in series in a gas circuit.
- A biogas purification unit is connected to a biogas source and produces biogas or biomethane with a variable/defined CO2 concentration.
- The first purified biogas outlet is connected to the CO2 removal unit for further purification.
Potential Applications: - Purification of biogas for use as a clean energy source. - Production of biomethane with a controlled CO2 concentration for various industrial applications.
Problems Solved: - Efficient removal of heavy hydrocarbons and CO2 from natural gas and biogas. - Production of purified methane suitable for different applications.
Benefits: - Reduced environmental impact by producing clean methane. - Enhanced efficiency in gas purification processes.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Methane Purification Plant for Clean Energy Production" This technology can be used in biogas plants, natural gas processing facilities, and industrial applications requiring purified methane.
Questions about Methane Purification: 1. How does the biogas purification unit control the CO2 concentration in the produced biogas? 2. What are the key differences between purifying natural gas and biogas for methane production?
Original Abstract Submitted
a plant for production of purified methane from natural gas and biogas, having, arranged in series in a gas circuit, a heavy hydrocarbon removal unit and a co2 removal unit. the plant includes a biogas purification unit having an inlet intended to be connected to a biogas source and a first purified biogas outlet connected to the first inlet of the co2 removal unit, the biogas purification unit being configured to produce biogas or biomethane with a variable/defined co2 concentration, and
