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.

Abstract: A device and method for controlling fuel-air ratio during combustion of ground in a coal power plant, including pneumatic delivery of ground coal to the burners and feeding combustion air to burners while controlling the combustion air and the amount of carrier air. A high reliability of control combined with low maintenance of the air mass measurement devices is achieved. This is achieved by a measurement device for measuring the amount of combustion air which, according to correlation measurement, evaluates the triboelectric effects on sensors. Between 0.1 mg and 10 mg of fine-grained particles of a diameter between 20 ?m and 200 ?m are introduced per m3 air into suctioned fresh air, which is carried out during the starting of the firing system. This is done by correlation measurement that evaluates triboelectric effects on sensors, arranged in series in carrier air stream in direction of flow of the carrier air.

Abstract: A method for producing high purity biomethane using two non-regenerative media in series to reliably and virtually completely eliminate undesirable impurities from biomethane. The first media in the series is activated carbon, preferably virgin media, produced from coconut shells or coal. The second media in the series is silica gel or other desiccant. Neither material is regenerated; rather, the purity of the biomethane is monitored and when the media is spent, the media is discarded.
