Simulation and experimental analysis of biogas upgrading. This shows that the upgraded biogas can be used for electricity power generation.Ĭitation: Yonael Mezmur, Wondwossen Bogale. The CO 2content decreased from 36% to 7%. As a result, the methane content increased from 56.7% to 85%. The experimental result shows that these innovative technologies reduces the acidic content (H 2S) by 99% and removes the CO 2content by 82%. After production of the biogas different chemicals have been used to upgrade the biogas: activated carbon to remove H 2S, NaOH and KOH to remove CO 2, silica gel and charcoal to remove the moisture. In this study, a novel technology to upgrade Biogas and reduce H 2S content of biogas has been studied. Almost all of the Biogas produced in Ethiopia has been used for cooking. However, it is hard to find innovative biogas upgrading technologies for electricity generation in Ethiopia. The cleaned biogas is used in high efficient power generation systems.
To better use the biogas and increase the calorific value and remove unwanted components from the raw biogas, it is crucial to clean raw biogas and upgrade it. Biogas production is a consolidated approach for converting organic waste into renewable energy.
