Biogas Cleaning and Upgrading

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biogas Technology

Abstract

As a mixture of gases, biogas contains not only methane and carbon dioxide, but may also contain other impurities in small amounts. Some impurities can affect the equipment for biogas utilization by causing problems such as corrosion and mechanical wear.
