<strong>Upgrading</strong> <strong>biogas</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>biomethane</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>HAASE</strong><br />
<strong>BiogasUpgrader</strong><br />
<strong>HAASE</strong> <strong>BiogasUpgrader</strong> Type 1,100 in Ra<strong>the</strong>now<br />
Biomethane in natural gas quality (bio natural gas) for gas grid injection and fuel for vehicles<br />
<strong>Upgrading</strong> <strong>biogas</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>biomethane</strong> and feeding it in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> grid - this often is <strong>the</strong> most economical<br />
solution on sites <strong>with</strong>out heat consumers. Biogas upgrading avoids loss of energy by unused exhaust<br />
heat from CHP and thus brings <strong>the</strong> most return.<br />
The <strong>biogas</strong> is upgraded <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> quality of natural gas, led through <strong>the</strong> gas grid and utilised<br />
independently of <strong>the</strong> location of <strong>the</strong> <strong>biogas</strong> plant - for power generation, for heating or as fuel for<br />
vehicles. Thus <strong>the</strong> bio natural gas replaces fossil natural gas where it brings <strong>the</strong> most return and<br />
avoids harmful CO2 emissions.<br />

The upgrading process<br />
The <strong>BiogasUpgrader</strong> operates by physical-organic scrubbing. The scrubbing solution is regenerated<br />
during <strong>the</strong> process and helps <strong>to</strong> protect <strong>the</strong> environment <strong>with</strong> its low emission levels. Compared<br />
<strong>with</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r methods, e.g. such as high-pressure water scrubbing, chemical scrubbing and membrane<br />
methods, <strong>the</strong> <strong>BiogasUpgrader</strong> offers essential advantages.<br />
Optimal energy concept<br />
A <strong>HAASE</strong> <strong>BiogasUpgrader</strong> upgrades <strong>biogas</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>biomethane</strong> <strong>with</strong>out heat loss. The required process<br />
heat is produced internally during <strong>the</strong> upgrading process, even exploiting <strong>the</strong> low methane slip which<br />
is recycled in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> process. In addition <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> raw gas feed, <strong>the</strong> <strong>BiogasUpgrader</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore only has<br />
one more external interface: <strong>the</strong> power supply. It is independent of external heat sources. This is an<br />
important fac<strong>to</strong>r for <strong>the</strong> high availability and reliability.<br />
Characteristics of <strong>the</strong> <strong>BiogasUpgrader</strong><br />
• Methane concentration adjustable according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> requirements of <strong>the</strong> natural gas grid<br />
• Methane loss (< 1%) is recycled in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> process<br />
• Exhaust levels according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> German technical instructions on air quality control (TA-Luft)<br />
<strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>HAASE</strong> VocsiBox®<br />
• Sewage-free operation<br />
• Low energy consumption <strong>with</strong> inherent heat supply<br />
• Optional heat extraction<br />
• Integrated desulphurisation and dehumidification<br />
• High process stability<br />
• Availability up <strong>to</strong> 8,600 hours per year in combination <strong>with</strong> a <strong>HAASE</strong> maintenance or plant<br />
operation contract<br />

Biomethane projects <strong>with</strong> a <strong>HAASE</strong> <strong>BiogasUpgrader</strong> were awarded several times for innovation. 2007,<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>BiogasUpgrader</strong> Jameln got <strong>the</strong> Innovation Award of <strong>the</strong> DLV in <strong>the</strong> category "Renewable Energy".<br />
2008, <strong>the</strong> <strong>biogas</strong> fuel station Jameln received <strong>the</strong> Innovation Prize of <strong>the</strong> German gas industry. The<br />
<strong>biomethane</strong> projects Ronnenberg (2008) and Ra<strong>the</strong>now (2009) were awarded by <strong>the</strong> German Energy<br />
Agency "dena" as part of <strong>the</strong> "Biogas Partnership" award for exemplary facilities and services. At both<br />
sites is a <strong>BiogasUpgrader</strong> is part of <strong>the</strong> project.<br />
