  • Publication number: 20240367127
    Abstract: A method of for mixing gases is described. The gases may include a first and a second gas wherein a gas mixing system accepts the gases and operates in a plurality of modes of operation to produce a discharge gas including a mixture thereof, and the second gas may be supplied without the first gas, and the first gas may be supplied without the second gas. The gas mixing system may be integrated with a gas processing system to produce a biogas-related product. The gas mixing system may be a compressor, a jet compressor, an ejector, an eductor, venturi jet pump, eductor-jet pump, and/or a thermocompressor, that uses a first stream of high-pressure gas to entrain a relatively lower pressure second gas, mixes the two, and discharges a third gas mixture that is of a sufficiently elevated pressure to be supplied to other areas of a production facility.

  • Publication number: 20240269602
    Abstract: A method to produce an acid-depleted biogas is described. The method includes supplying biogas to a biogas acid removal system to produce an acid-depleted biogas. Biogas pre-processing, post-processing, and a product production system may be integrated with the biogas acid removal process to produce a product. A two-stage volatile organic compound removal process is also described including a volatile organic compound removal step, and a halogenated volatile organic compound removal step, followed by an acid removal step. Oxygen removal from the biogas is also provided by combusting oxygen together with halogenated volatile organic compounds within the biogas, followed by removing acid generated in the combustion of the halogenated volatile organic compounds.

  • Publication number: 20230174879
    Abstract: A method for production of renewable natural gas (RNG) from biogases containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) combines temperature swing adsorption (TSA) for removal of VOCs, a form of pressure swing adsorption (PSA) for nitrogen separation, and membrane gas separation technology for carbon dioxide removal. TSA systems may improve removal of VOCs relative to PSA systems, may reduce RNG plant operating costs, and may simplify RNG plant operation. Methane recovery may be improved by using equilibrium PSA systems instead of dynamic PSA systems for methane separation.
