Biomethane generation from biogas upgrading by means of thin-film composite membrane comprising Linde T and fluorinated polyimide: optimization of fabrication parameters

Abstract

Generation of biogas from organic substances is an attractive evolution of energy generation from fossil-based energy supply to renewable resources.

Advances, challenges, and perspectives of biogas cleaning, upgrading, and utilisation

“…The superior mechanical behaviour of polymeric membranes compared to other membrane materials has made their fabrication technology versatile, evidenced by different forms such as spiral wound or hollow fibre membrane modules [303,304]. However, the plasticization of a membrane leads to significant loss in CO2/CH4 selectivity and permeability, and is considered a major pitfall that has hindered their widespread application, especially for high pressure conditions [305,306].…”

Methane Biogas Production in Malaysia: Challenge and Future Plan

“…Furthermore, as discussed in the preceding section regarding the significance of carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide removal for achieving a higher fuel standard for biogas development, mature technologies on biogas upgrading methods, such as physical scrubbing, chemical scrubbing, pressure swing adsorption, membrane separation, and cryogenic separation, are attracting the interest of researchers because they can assist in enriching the methane content [1,2]. For instance, one of the most recent studies conducted by Jusoh et al incorporated membrane technology that was infused with f thin-film composite membrane consisting of Linde T and fluorinated polyimide, with the result that the membrane successfully removed more than 96% CO 2 , thereby meeting the biomethane quality requirement for vehicle fuel use [65].…”
