BIOGAS / NATURAL GAS / ETHANOL PROCESSING | |||||||||||||||
| A significant portion
of natural gas produced worldwide is considered sub quality due to
contamination by carbon dioxide. Natural gas pipeline operators have
strict specifications with respect to the carbon dioxide content of
gas distributed via pipeline and carbon dioxide must typically be
removed from sub-quality gas before the gas can be transported to
market.
Biogas is a renewable methane containing gaseous fuel that is produced as a by-product from the decomposition of organic waste in municipal landfills, waste water treatment plants and anaerobic digesters. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that there are approximately 2,200 municipal landfill in the United States, most of which produce landfill gas which typically contains approximately 50% methane and 30% to 40% carbon dioxide. To date, electricity generation has been the most common option for energy recovery from biogas, accounting for over 60% of the operational landfill gas processing plants in the United State. However, the recovery of pipeline grade methane or liquefied natural gas ("LNG") from landfill gas is also viable using gas purification technology. |

TECHNOLOGY | |||||||||||||||
| A step in the processing of carbon dioxide contaminated natural gas and biogas is the separation of carbon dioxide present in the gas. Our principal offers compact, low cost, carbon dioxide separation solutions for lower capacity applications (up to 4,000NCMH product methane) in both of these markets. In addition, our principal plans to develop a large capacity PSA system for natural gas processing based on the product platform currently under development. The compact, skid mounted features of this product are expected to be particularly competitive in applications where space is at a premium, such as on offshore gas production platforms. | ||||||||||||||||

ETHANOL TECHNOLOGY | |||||||||||||||
| Synthetic polyamides are the oldest truly useful synthetic fibers and still today rank among the most important synthetic fibers in terms of volume. The main polyamides are polyamide 6.6 and polyamide 6. We offer our customers not only processes for their production but have also developed the corresponding recycling concepts. | ||||||||||||||||
