Sistema de compresión de biogás y biometano

Abstract

This work presents research involving a pilot scale biogas compression system. In an attempt to make it easier to use and commercialize this biofuel, the study looks at its treatment, filtration and compression. The process studied enables storage, transport and sale of biogas. Without a compression system, the use of biogas is restricted to the production site. On the other hand, when biogas is filtered and compressed there are several different applications in homes, industry, automotive vehicles, and other cases. The system is composed of a sector for filtration, reduction of noncombustible gases such as carbon dioxide and a compression sector for filling cylinders. The process uses biogas itself as fuel for motors and equipment. Different levels of pressure were established to use in various applications. In the experiment, data on compression, flow and composition of the biogas were obtained.
