Topic

Development of a process of oxygen removal from biogas. This exhibits relevance in the scope of EASEE-GAS. Furthermore, noticeable, application-technological advantages for “Amin Select” biogas processing plants are anticipated.

Aims

The main goal is the built-up of know-how for the realization of an effective oxygen removal process from biogas. In addition, synergistic effects are expected by means of new findings about regulations of gas distribution systems in Eastern Europe and in the field of applied catalytic systems.

Measures

D&B

• Evaluation of options from a technical and economic point of view 
• Thermodynamic and technical design 
• Construction and testing of a demonstrator

LIKAT

• Construction and instrumentation of a test stand for the procedural characterization of oxygen reduction techniques 
• Synthesis and testing of oxygen deficit structures for the oxygen absorption in practice-oriented process operations 
• Development and testing of suitable catalysts for the catalytic oxygen removal
