We were recently involved in an interesting project at a biogas facility, linked to a major wastewater treatment plant here in the UK. The site had not previously used activated carbon filtration, but the CHP engine had recently undergone a major overhaul and the client was keen to protect the unit from further damage caused by siloxanes and other VOCs in the biogas stream. In order to facilitate the efficient and safe connection of one of our 5m3 VOCSorber® mobile carbon filters, we called upon the expertise of our engineering subsidiary, who performed a full site survey then completed the design, manufacture and installation of all the necessary pipework and connections, all within a challenging three week timescale. The work included rerouting the biogas flow into the CHP unit, as well as the installation of a bespoke heat shield to protect the biogas pipework from the engine’s heat outlet.
The client was delighted with the outcome of the project, which will quickly pay for itself in terms of reduced CHP engine maintenance and plant downtime.

Planning ahead, a date for your diary is the World Biogas Expo 2022, hosted by ADBA/WBA, taking place at the NEC Birmingham in March next year. As usual, we will will have a stand at this leading renewable energy event, where you can meet the Puragen team and discuss your biogas purification challenges.
