Contaminants we remove

Puragen delivers biogas purification systems carefully tailored to the specifications of CHP engine manufacturers and biomethane OEMs and operators. 

Our high-capacity FiltraPure® media and VOCSorber® mobile carbon filtration units maintain low-pressure drop, high flow rates and extended media life to ensure optimal biogas quality, for maximum CHP engine efficiency and biomethane purity.

  • Hydrogen sulfide
    A corrosive, toxic and flammable gas that damages components
  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
    Removal of a range of VOCs, including siloxanes, pinene and limonene, that can cause abrasive deposits on hot surfaces within engines that reduce combustion efficiency and can lead to component failure
  • Odorous compounds
    Removal of a range of odour-causing contaminants, including ammonia (NH₃), formed in the feedstock handling process and within anaerobic digestion processes

Activated carbon products to purify and upgrade biogas

To remove VOCs, H2S and odors from biogas streams, we provide both granular activated carbon and extruded pellets for gas filtration.
