Lower the cost and simplify the design for your Biogas and Landfill Gas project with an integrated approach to treatment with Axens adsorbents.

Biogas & Landfill Gas is derived from the following sources:

  • Landfills
  • Digestion of food and agricultural waste
  • Digestion in municipal and industrial waste water treatment plants

Contaminant removal or gas upgrading is typically required to take advantage of Biogas & Landfill Gas as an energy source or exhaust it to atmosphere. While the amount and the type of contaminants depend on the source, treatment is primarily determined by the destination of the gas: to Atmosphere via Gas Flaring, to Local Power/Electricity Generation or to Renewable Natural Gas.
