Technology for Producing CNG/LNG from High-Concentration Methane in Coal Mine Gas


  To maximize the utilization of coal-bed methane resources, and in response to the challenges posed by the high oxygen and nitrogen content in low-concentration methane streams as well as associated safety concerns, Dakote has, after years of intensive R&D, successfully developed a safe and efficient process for the separation and concentration of methane from such streams. Several invention patents have been granted, and the technology has reached an internationally leading level. Currently, this technology has been implemented on an engineering scale at Yangquan Coal Industry, Jincheng Anthracite Mining Group, Shaanxi Yuxiang, and other enterprises, where it has been operating safely and reliably over the long term, delivering significant economic, social, and environmental benefits.
