New scientific article on the recovery of methane dissolved in anaerobic effluents in collaboration with Global Omnium and funded by IVACE+i an the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.
Researchers of the MATS Group and of the company Global Omnium have recently published in open the results of their scientific collaboration in the Journal of Water Process Engineering, with a research article titled ‘Membrane contactor performance for the dissolved methane recovery from the liquid effluent of a desulphurisation reactor for biogas purification: Evaluation of operating conditions, fouling and cleaning strategies.” In this project, result of the collaboration in the framework of the project AVI Biometano, funded by the Valencian Institute for Business Competitiveness (IVACE+i), we consider the implementation of membrane contractors on a pilot scale for the recovery of dissolved methane on the effluent of a biological desulphurisation bioreactor. Our findings shed light on the optimal operative conditions to maximize the separation efficiency and on the cleaning strategies to mitigate the dirtying of the membranes, which could have important implications on a profitable process on a large scale.
This project has received funding under the project BIOMETANO (INNCAD/2022/2) of the Valencian Institute for Business Competitiveness (IVACE+i), and of the project TED2021-131276A-I00 funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation (MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033) and by the European Union (NextGenerationEU/PRTR).
