Food Waste Action Week highlights the importance to cut waste and the damage caused if we do not act now. Biogas production harnesses organic matter to create a clean and renewable energy source.
Oxygen (O2) has several applications in biogas production.
One of the harmful byproducts of biogas production is hydrogen sulphide (H2S), which must be removed from the biogas flow across the plant as it is corrosive and can damage downstream equipment.
Oxygen dosing is the most sustainable and cost-effective method of removing hydrogen sulphide. The oxygen is microdosed into the headspace of the digester where it removes the sulphur. As a result, on-site oxygen generation is the ideal solution for biogas plants.
The OGP & OGP+ ranges supply oxygen concentrations from 90% to 95%. If your application only requires 93% purity for example, this is what the oxygen generator will supply at the touch of a button – there is no need to pay for a higher purity than is necessary. This means that on-site generated oxygen comes at a lower cost per unit than bottled or liquid oxygen.
