“…Thermal management is of specific concern due to the highly exothermic nature of the Sabatier reaction. [35][36][37][38][39][40] Several reactor designs that focus on thermal management, in addition to cost, have been proposed. A typical approach is the use of the adiabatic packed-bed reactor.…”

Upgrading biogas produced at dairy farms into renewable natural gas by methanation

Summary Renewable natural gas can be produced from raw biogas, a product of the anaerobic decomposition of organic material, by upgrading its CO2 content (25‐50%) via thermocatalytic hydrogenation (CO2 methanation). The H2 needed for this reaction can be generated by water electrolysis powered by carbon emission‐free energy sources such as renewable or nuclear power, or using surplus electricity. Herein, after briefly outlining some aspects of biogas production at dairy farms and highlighting recent developments in the design of methanation systems, a case study on the renewable natural gas generation is presented. The performance of a system for renewable natural gas generation from a 2000‐head dairy farm livestock manure is evaluated and assessed for its economic potential. The project is predicted to generate revenue through the sale of energy and carbon credits with the payback period of 5 years, with a subsidized energy price.

The methanation of CO2 has attracted great interest in recent years as a technology to generate renewable synthetic natural gas and to recycle CO2 from different sectors. The actual development state of a flatbed reactor for the methanation of pure stoichiometric feed gas is presented. Additionally, computational fluid dynamics (CFD)‐based design strategies are introduced which can be applied for the development and optimization of different processing units. The results of the reactor development demonstrate a good heat exchange and flow distribution in the reactor.
