Confronting the Challenges of Renewable Natural Gas Compression
The renewable energy sector is increasingly embracing biogas, a sustainable energy form produced from organic waste at treatment plants, for its eco-friendly qualities and ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, the biogas compression process is fraught with distinct challenges. Typically comprising methane, carbon dioxide, and often laced with contaminants such as water vapor, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and siloxanes, biogas can be corrosive and dangerous if not correctly handled during compression.
The initial phase of the renewable natural gas production process involves biogas collection. During this phase, biogas produced from waste or other organic sources is gathered utilizing a network of storage tanks, pipelines, and wells. It’s important to note that at this stage, the biogas contains impurities that must be addressed in the subsequent phase known as primary treatment. During primary treatment, contaminants are eliminated through desulfurization processes.
Offering a significant advantage, Ingersoll Rand’s screw gas compressors enable the omission of primary treatment stages, directly managing complex gases with our advanced natural gas compressors, thus negating the need for extra equipment.
During the compression phase, the purified biogas, which is now mainly composed of methane, undergoes compression using a natural gas air compressor. These compressors function in a manner similar to standard air compressors but are specifically designed to handle the rigors of natural gas compression, with the main goal of increasing the biogas pressure to several hundred psi (per square inch).
Peak Efficiency Compressors
Ingersoll Rand screw natural gas compressors are meticulously engineered to deliver top-tier efficiency and performance. A standout feature is their integral gearing and porting, contributing not only to efficiency but also ensuring a smooth operation. With integral gearing, the impeller speeds used in the compression process are precisely adjusted to achieve the optimal compressor design, resulting in remarkable efficiency.
Moreover, Ingersoll Rand compressors include advanced technologies such as Variable Vi and Integral Porting to boost efficiency even further. Variable Vi adapts the compressor’s internal volume on demand, ensuring efficiency is maintained across various scenarios.
The Integral Porting technology enhances the internal flow of gas during compression, reducing losses, improving cooling efficiency, and decreasing gas leakage. These features combined position Ingersoll Rand screw gas compressors as highly efficient and dependable options for diverse applications.
