SISTEMA DE COMPRESIÓN DE BIOGÁS Y BIOMETANO

Resumen Se presenta una investigacion relacionada con un sistema de compresion para biogas a escala piloto, buscando facilitar la utilizacion y comercializacion de este biocombustible. El estudio considera el tratamiento, filtracion y compresion del biogas como tambien su almacenamiento, transporte y la comercializacion. El sistema propuesto esta compuesto por la seccion de filtracion, reduccion de gases no combustibles (como dioxido de carbono) y la seccion de compresion para ser envasado en cilindros. El proceso utiliza el propio biogas como combustible en los motores y equipos. Se establecieron diferentes niveles de presiones para su utilizacion en diversas aplicaciones obteniendo datos sobre compresion, flujo y composicion del biogas.

In an attempt to make it easier to use and commercialize this biofuel, the study looks at its treatment, filtration and compression. The process studied enables storage, transport and sale of biogas. Without a compression system, the use of biogas is restricted to the production site. On the other hand, when biogas is filtered and compressed there are several different applications in homes, industry, automotive vehicles, and other cases. The system is composed of a sector for filtration, reduction of noncombustible gases such as carbon dioxide and a compression sector for filling cylinders. The process uses biogas itself as fuel for motors and equipment. Different levels of pressure were established to use in various applications. In the experiment, data on compression, flow and composition of the biogas were obtained.
