Biogas : cleaning and uses

Description

Biogas consists of methane (CH4) and carbon-dioxide (CO2) along with some trace gases such as water vapour, hydrogen sulphide (H2S), nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. Carbon dioxide and trace gases such as water vapour and H2S must be removed before the biogas can be used because: the hydrogen sulphide gas is corrosive; water vapour may cause corrosion when combined with H2S on metal surfaces and reduce the heating value
