INVESTIGATION OF METHANE LOSSES DURING THE CALORIC UPGRADING OF BIOGAS FOR GRID INJECTION

H.-B. Böckler, R. Kramer, B. Mickan,
Abstract:
In the last years a large number of bio gas plants were build which generate gas mixtures of methane and carbon dioxide usually up to 1000 m3/h in a single plant. Often this gas is used as fuel for electrically power generation but there is also an interest to inject the gas into the public gas grid. For this purpose a purification is needed which increases (upgrades) the methane partition of the injected gas in order to realize gross caloric value similar to the natural gas in the grid. An important issue of CO2 -separation is the emission of methane into the atmosphere by losses which is dependent from the applied technology.
