Resourcing of Methane in the Biogas Using Membrane Process

: Biogas is a gaseous mixture produced from microbial digestion of organic materials in the absence of oxygen. Raw biogas, depending upon organic materials, digestion time and process conditions, contains about 45-75% methane, 30-50% carbon dioxide, 0.3% of hydrogen sulfide gas and fraction of water vapor. To achieve the standard composition of the biogas the treatm ent techniques like absorption or membrane separation was performed for the resourcing of biogas. In this paper the experimental results of the methane purification in simulated biogas mixture consisted of methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide were presented. The composite membrane is manufactured within polysulfone in order to increase the separation performances for the gaseous mixtures of CO 2 and CH 4 which are main components of the biogas. The effects of feed pressures and mixed gas on the separation of CO 2 -CH 4 by membrane are investigated. Chelate chemical was utilized to treat the purification of methane from the H
