Biogas is...
• Methane (CH4): 45 - 75 %
• Carbon Dioxide (CO2): 25 - 45 %
• Trace components: 2 - 5 %
Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen
(O2), Hydrogen (H2), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S),
Ammonia (NH3), Siloxanes, VOCs
• Water (vapour, saturated): 2 – 7%
• Dust particles
…raw, unprocessed gas collected from
biogas digesters. Biogas originating from
landfill sites is termed ‘landfill gas‘. A
typical composition of biogas / landfill gas
is:
4
Problematic Trace Components
• Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S)
• Ammonia (NH3)
• Siloxanes
• Aromatic Hydrocarbon compounds
• Halogen compounds
(chlorides, fluorides)
• Dirt or dust particles
• Water

H2S - <100 ppm
*Siloxanes: 95-99% removal
*Particles <5 micron
*H2O – Low dewpoint
* Parker Solutions available
6
Biomethane is...
…biogas that has had CO2 and other impurities
removed to produce a gas with a high methane
content similar to that of natural gas. Typical
composition is…
• Methane (CH4): >97%
• Carbon Dioxide (CO2): <2%
• H2S: <4 ppm
• Water: <65 mg/m3 (approx -40°C PDP)
• VOCs and siloxanes: Negligible levels
Biomethane is suitable for injection into natural gas distribution
networks or as fuel for Natural Gas Vehicles
7
The Effects of Untreated Biogas
8
• Biogas contains small solid particles,
foams, greases and other contaminants.
• Engines can be damaged by excessive particle
contamination so removal is specified by engine
manufacturers
• Particulate causes clogging or blocking of downstream
equipment increasing maintenance costs & downtime.

FFB Hyperfilter BioEnergy is specifically
designed to prevent these undesired effects

for water and other
contaminants which
can then be effectively
removed by the
manual drain valve.

Parker FFB Biogas Filter: Housing
10
Filtration takes place through a porous filter
element made ​​of antistatic, spunbonded
polyester to ensure optimum filtration
efficiency and high stability.
Filtration quality: 5 or 20µm
Filter element end caps and inner
core in galvanized steel.
Average Pressure drop: 3mbar.
To maintain optimum and effective filtration, filter elements must be replaced at least every 6 months with
genuine Parker Hiross parts.

Biomethane Applications
13
Example:
1,000 Nm3/h of Biogas from digester
35 degC/100% saturated = 47g of water per Nm3/h of biogas
1,000 (Nm3/h) x 24 (hours) x 47 (g/Nm3/h)
= 1,128kg water produced per day
(more than 1 Tonne of water every day!)
Cooling to 5 degC dewpoint will reduce moisture
content to 7g/Nm3/h
= 168kg water produced per day
Cooling to 5 degC dewpoint will remove 960kg water per day
Biogas Dehumidification
How Much Water in One Day?
1. Increases Efficiency (or Energy Output)
of Engine
2. Prevents Corrosion of Pipework and

Siloxanes are organo-silicons added to
many personal care products and are
present in many biogas substrates
Found in shampoos, conditioners,
cosmetics, soaps, deodorants, de-foamers,
water repellents lubricants, and even some
food additives
Over 1 million tonnes produced annually by
industry worldwide!

Siloxane Removal
What happens inside the engine?
• Siloxanes convert to silicon dioxide
under engine environment & conditions.
• Deposits rise, efficiency falls reducing
generating capacity
• Engine components are damaged and
oil-life shortened
• Cost in components, labour, downtime &
additional oil changes…..lost profit!

  • 3. 3 Biogas is... • Methane (CH4): 45 - 75 % • Carbon Dioxide (CO2): 25 - 45 % • Trace components: 2 - 5 % Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen (O2), Hydrogen (H2), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), Ammonia (NH3), Siloxanes, VOCs • Water (vapour, saturated): 2 – 7% • Dust particles …raw, unprocessed gas collected from biogas digesters. Biogas originating from landfill sites is termed ‘landfill gas‘. A typical composition of biogas / landfill gas is:
  • 4. 4 Problematic Trace Components • Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) • Ammonia (NH3) • Siloxanes • Aromatic Hydrocarbon compounds • Halogen compounds (chlorides, fluorides) • Dirt or dust particles • Water

  • 6. 6 Biomethane is... …biogas that has had CO2 and other impurities removed to produce a gas with a high methane content similar to that of natural gas. Typical composition is… • Methane (CH4): >97% • Carbon Dioxide (CO2): <2% • H2S: <4 ppm • Water: <65 mg/m3 (approx -40°C PDP) • VOCs and siloxanes: Negligible levels Biomethane is suitable for injection into natural gas distribution networks or as fuel for Natural Gas Vehicles
  • 7. 7 The Effects of Untreated Biogas
  • 8. 8 • Biogas contains small solid particles, foams, greases and other contaminants. • Engines can be damaged by excessive particle contamination so removal is specified by engine manufacturers • Particulate causes clogging or blocking of downstream equipment increasing maintenance costs & downtime.
