Methane Purification Technologies for Landfill Gas, Biogas, and Other Sources


  Landfill gas, biogas, and other biomass gases refer to methane-containing mixed gases produced through the anaerobic digestion of various organic materials—such as municipal solid waste, crop residues, agricultural by-products, manure, and food waste—by bacterial activity. These gases are classified as renewable natural gas (RNG). The methane content in such biomass gases typically ranges from 40% to 70% by volume, with CO₂ constituting the major component at 20% to 40% by volume, along with minor amounts of N₂, O₂, sulfides, trace volatile organic compounds, and NH₃. 3 , siloxane and other impurity gases.

  Biogenic gases such as landfill gas and biogas have lower methane contents compared with conventional natural gas, necessitating further purification before they can be utilized. In response to the compositional characteristics of biogenic gases, Dakot Company has developed a comprehensive suite of methane purification technologies, including pre-treatment adsorption-based impurity removal, dry-process fine desulfurization, and pressure swing adsorption (PSA) for the removal of CO₂, N₂, and O₂. The resulting purified methane product can be directly fed into the natural gas distribution network or further compressed into CNG, or liquefied into LNG, for use as fuel in various types of transportation vehicles, including garbage trucks, heavy-duty trucks, agricultural vehicles, and passenger cars.
