Landfill Gas: Removal of siloxanes and hydrogen sulfide

Full service approach for the removal of siloxanes and hydrogen sulfide (H2S)


Full Service Approach 

At an interesting landfill gas project, a mixture of contaminants required two mobile carbon filters containing different activated carbons.

In one filter we selected a coconut-shell activated carbon, to remove short-chain linear siloxanes from the biogas stream.  In the second filter, an impregnated coal-based carbon  was used to remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S),

which is toxic, corrosive and odorous.

This project was a typical example of our ‘full service’ approach:

  • Understanding the customer’s process issues and selecting optimised activated carbons to address these specific contaminants;
  • Supplying the product in our VOCSorber® mobile filters, produced in-house by our engineering subsidiary;
  • Installation of all necessary pipework to allow simple connection of the two filters;
  • Full Site Service support and supervision of the installation;
  • Future take-back and recycling of the spent carbon at our award-winning reactivation site, the only ‘amber list’ facility in the UK.
