The renewable natural gas (RNG) energy market is growing exponentially in the United States and Canada. As a result, numerous new dairy digesters are being built to extract methane from dairy manure and converting it into usable natural gas. This process helps capture methane from manure before it decomposes naturally and detrimentally enters the atmosphere. […]
The gaseous compound, hydrogen sulfide (written as H2S), is a hazardous byproduct of many biological and industrial processes including the creation of biogas. It’s usually critical to separate the H2S gas from desirable or less hazardous gasses before they can be further refined. This is not, however, a simple matter. Fortunately, modern techniques are making […]
Biogas is a type of biofuel produced during the bacterial breakdown of organic matter, such as livestock manure, agricultural and industrial waste, inedible food waste, and wastewater. Although the breakdown can occur naturally, biogas is produced ideally in a controlled environment, called a digester. This digester maintains an optimal temperature and an oxygen-free environment for […]
It’s well known that cows produce a lot of manure – so much so that our language contains more than a few cow-waste-related phrases for use among informal company. What’s less obvious than the manure itself is the large quantity of methane that comes along with it. Methane is a highly potent contributor to the […]
A biodigester is a special container where organic waste, from both humans and animals, is fermented to produce fertilizer and biogas. It is like a mechanical stomach or a much larger version of a cow’s stomach. A biodigester can be made from plastic, metal, or concrete depending on the application and is an anaerobic environment […]
Well, H2S has a pungent rotten egg smell when it is released into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, tons of H2S is produced by petroleum and natural gas refining, coke ovens, food processing, biofuel generation, and wastewater treatment. WHAT IS SO BAD ABOUT H2S? Aside from its unpleasant scent, you will want to steer clear of H2S […]
The combination of Interra Global’s custom-engineered vacuum adsorption vessels and FerroSorp H2S removal media has proven to be a highly effective solution. As reported by current customers, here are the top five reasons to install Interra Global’s H2S removal system today: The VAVs (Vacuum Adsorption Vessels) have heavy-duty rollers, making it extremely easy to relocate […]
H2S is the chemical formula for the compound, hydrogen sulfide. It is made up of two hydrogen atoms and a single sulfur atom. It is a colorless, flammable, and extremely hazardous gas that has a pungent rotten-egg smell. H2S is produced by the bacterial breakdown of organic materials, as well as animal and human waste. […]
Biofuel is a renewable energy resource produced from organic matter and waste, materials collectively known as biomass. Compared to other options, biofuel is eco-friendly and more renewable (Biofuels explained – EIA). Ethanol and biogas are just two types of biofuel, but there are many more in use today. ETHANOL Ethanol is produced via the process […]
Silica gel is a solid form of silicon dioxide, or SiO2, and it is actually more granular and hard than it is a gel. Silica gel is specifically synthesized to be highly porous, which is what gives it its adsorbing capabilities. Additionally, SiO2 is a polar compound, which allows it to preferentially adsorb other polar […]
