  • Patent number: 10933372
    Abstract: Oxygen is removed from a gas feed such as a landfill gas, a digester gas or an industrial CO2 off-gas by heating the feed gas, optionally removing siloxanes and silanols from the heated feed gas, optionally removing part of the sulfur-containing compounds in the heated feed gas, injecting one or more reactants for oxygen conversion into the heated feed gas, carrying out a selective catalytic conversion of any or all of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in the gas, including sulfur-containing compounds, chlorine-containing compounds and any of the reactants injected, in at least one suitable reactor, and cleaning the resulting oxygen-depleted gas. The reactants to be injected comprise one or more of H2, CO, ammonia, urea, methanol, ethanol and dimethyl ether (DME).

  • Publication number: 20200369577
    Abstract: In a method for the production of a fertilizer from the sulfur and ammonia content in a feed gas, including steps of (a) combustion of the H2S-rich gas in air to convert H2S to SO2, (b) formation of ammonium hydrogen sulfite (AHS) by absorption of SO2 and NH3 in water, and (c) reaction of the AHS from step (b) with H2S and NH3 to form an aqueous solution of ammonium thiosulfate (ATS), reaction (a) is carried out in a catalytic reactor as a selective oxidation of the H2S content to SO2 over a selective catalyst having one or more metal oxides, in which the metal is selected from the group of V, W, Ce, Mo, Fe, Ca and Mg, and one or more supports taken from the group of Al2O3, SiO2, SiC and TiO2, optionally in the presence of other elements in a concentration below 1 wt %.

  • Patent number: 10675585
    Abstract: Oxygen is removed from a gas feed such as a landfill gas, a digester gas or an industrial CO2 off-gas by removing sulfur-containing compounds and siloxanes from the feed gas, heating the feed gas, injecting one or more reactants for oxygen conversion into the heated feed gas, carrying out a selective catalytic oxygen conversion in at least onesuitable reactor and cleaning the resulting oxygen-depleted gas. The reactants to be injected comprise one or more of H2, CO, ammonia, urea, methanol, ethanol and dimethylether (DME).

  • Patent number: 10661224
    Abstract: A method for the purification of a raw gas stream by selective catalytic oxidation, in which organic and inorganic sulfur compounds, halogenated and non-halogenated volatile organic compounds are selectively oxidized without substantially oxidizing the lower hydrocarbons and the sulfur containing compounds present in the gas to sulfur trioxide and excess of oxygen is removed by oxidation of lower alcohols, ethers or hydrogen added to the raw gas stream upstream the catalytic oxidation.

  • Publication number: 20190314759
    Abstract: In a process for the removal of hydrogen chloride and/or sulfur oxides from a landfill gas stream, which contains impurities such as siloxanes, H2S, organic and inorganic sulfides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the heated gas is passed through a siloxane removal bed, where siloxanes are absorbed and then through one or more sulfur removal beds, where hydrogen sulfide and/or organic sulfides are absorbed. The effluent is passed through a reactor containing an oxidation catalyst enabling catalytic oxidation of VOCs, organic and inorganic CI- and/or S-containing compounds, COS and CS2 to their respective combustion products, and finally the effluent from the reactor is passed through one or more beds, where hydrogen chloride and/or sulfur oxides are absorbed.

  • Publication number: 20190201842
    Abstract: In a process for the removal of siloxanes from biogas streams, especially a landfill gas stream or a gas stream from anaerobic digesters, the gas stream is first passed through a conventional siloxane removing unit to remove the majority of the siloxanes and subsequently passed over a selected catalyst with polishing effect, thereby removing remaining traces of siloxanes. The catalyst with polishing effect is chosen from i.a. zeolites, porous silica, titania and various metals on alumina or titania.
