Project overview
The Biogas Desulphurisation for Cogeneration project is a gas-treatment installation in Argentina, associated with the use of biogas as an energy source.
Biogas generated through anaerobic digestion contains methane and carbon dioxide, together with varying concentrations of impurities such as hydrogen sulphide (H₂S).
Hydrogen sulphide is a corrosive compound that can affect gas-handling equipment, engines and associated infrastructure. Its removal is therefore an important stage in preparing biogas for energy generation.
The installation incorporates biological desulphurisation, using microbial processes to reduce hydrogen sulphide in the gas stream.
The treatment process supports biogas conditioning before its utilisation in cogeneration, where the gas can be used to produce electricity and recover useful heat.
