The specifics

Oxygen generation using VSA and PSA system

PSA system enables the production of pure oxygen from air by selective adsorption of N2 on a special molecular sieve material. As a result, only O2 is injected in the bioprocess for H2S reduction, avoiding biogas dilution with contaminants.

Proprietary O2 injection systems use proportional valves injecting 02 as a function of external process variables such as the H2S content in the raw biogas, raw biogas flow, or even a combination of both.

Oxygen production cost per Nm3 of biogas treated, is extremely low, ranging from £0.0005 to £0.0010. We offer a wide range of O2 injection systems (PSA and VSA) covering anaerobic digestion plant capacities between 20 Nm3/h and 2000 Nm3/h of raw biogas.

Advantages

• Safe delivery & independence from external gas suppliers and O2 market price fluctuations
• Suppression of logistic operations; handling of cylinders, liquid O2, and supply management
• Modular, flexible, and low maintenance
• Low power demand; -<0.5 kWh/Nm3 @ 90% O2
• O2 purity up to 93% (dew point < -50˚C @ 0 barg)
• Compression up to 8 barg available
• O2 sensor & output signal for remote monitoring
• Skid or container mounted for mobility
• VSA for larger flows and lower power demand
