  • 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: 20240325973
    Abstract: A method to produce a halogen-depleted gas is described. The method providing a gas derived from and/or including a source of biogas, mixing said gas with a source of hydrogen to produce a processed gas mixture including an acid, and separating said acid from said processed gas mixture. Sulfur, oxygen, carbon dioxide removal processes are integrated into the method. Production of secondary products, and removal thereof, are included. Pre and post processing may be integrated, and production of products is described.

  • Publication number: 20240278177
    Abstract: A method to produce a halogen-depleted biogas is described. The method includes supplying biogas and/or a gas derived from a source of biogas to a halogen removal system to produce a halogen-depleted biogas. Biogas pre-processing, post-processing, and a product production system may be integrated with the halogen removal system to produce a product.

  • 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.
