“…Upgrading strategies are mostly based on physical and/or chemical absorption in water or in active aqueous solutions (Cebula, 2009;Petersson and Wellinger, 2009;Kismurtono, 2011;Ryckebosch et al, 2011;Bansal et al, 2013;Khalil et al, 2014;Kohl and Nielsen, 1997) or adsorption on solid surfaces (Pandey and Fabian, 1989;Dabrowski, 2001;Jee et al, 2001;Yang, 2003;Himeno et al, 2005;Grande and Rodrigues, 2007;Ma et al, 2007;Cavenati et al, 2008;Das et al, 2008;Alonso-Vicario et al, 2010;Tippayawong and Thanompongchart, 2010;Grande, 2011Grande, , 2012Yuan et al, 2013;Andriani et al, 2014), membrane separation methods (Wellinger and Lindberg, 2005;Favre et al, 2009;Petersson and Wellinger, 2009;Simons et al, 2009;Deng and Hagg, 2010;Makaruk et al, 2010;Ryckebosch et al, 2011;Andriani et al, 2014;Salihu and Alam, 2015), and biological methods (Ryckebosch et al, 2011;Andriani et al, 2014;Salihu and Alam, 2015) or even combinations of the above (Bansal et al, 2013).…”

“…For biogas upgrading, membranes typically consist of materials that are permeable to CO 2 , water and NH 3 , partially permeable to H 2 S and O 2 and essentially non-permeable to CH 4 and N 2 (Favre et al, 2009;Petersson and Wellinger, 2009;Deng and Hagg, 2010;Makaruk et al, 2010;Ryckebosch et al, 2011;Andriani et al, 2014). However, water and H 2 S are usually removed from biogas before CO 2 separation as they can adversely affect membrane performance and efficiency.…”

Biogas is widely available as a product of anaerobic digestion of urban, industrial, animal and agricultural wastes. Its indigenous local-base production offers the promise of a dispersed renewable energy source that can significantly contribute to regional economic growth. Biogas composition typically consists of 35-75% methane, 25-65% carbon dioxide, 1-5% hydrogen along with minor quantities of water vapor, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and halides. Current utilization for heating and lighting is inefficient and polluting, and, in the case of poor quality biogas (CH 4 /CO 2 < 1), exacerbated by detrimental venting to the atmosphere. Accordingly, innovative and efficient strategies for improving the management and utilization of biogas for the production of sustainable electrical power or high added-value chemicals are highly desirable. Utilization is the focus of the present review in which the scientific and technological basis underlying alternative routes to the efficient and eco-friendly exploitation of biogas are described and discussed. After concisely reviewing state-of-the-art purification and upgrading methods, in-depth consideration is given to the exploitation of biogas in the renewable energy, liquid fuels, transport and chemicals sectors along with an account of potential impediments to further progress.Keywords: biogas, upgrading, purification, utilization, SOFC, ethylene, reforming, siloxanes BIOGAS Efficient management of ever-increasing amounts of municipal, industrial and agricultural wastes in order to minimize their environmental impact is an urgent necessity. Biological treatment of wastes, which can be carried out either aerobically or anaerobically, is widely applied in this area. Due to their several advantages the anaerobic processes are to be preferred because they require considerably smaller installations, produce less sludge, operate at lower temperatures and are suited to periodic operation. Much more importantly, they generate biogas, which is an attractive potential source of renewable energy and/or added-value chemicals due to its high content of methane and CO 2 . Anaerobic digestion (AD) can proceed over a wide temperature range, from phychrophilic (ca. 10-20 • C) and mesophilic (ca. 20-45 • C) up to thermophilic (ca. 45-65 • C) and hyperthermophilic (ca. ∼70 • C) levels, by means of cooperation between anaerobes and facultative anaerobe microorganisms, which successively promote a sequence of hydrolysis-acidogenesis,

“…Membrane technology plays an important role in various environmental and energy processes, such as CO 2 capture (Zou and Ho, 2008;Hussain and Hägg, 2010;Brunetti et al, 2010;Yang et al, 2008), biogas upgrading (Deng and Hägg, 2010;Makaruk et al, 2010;Pakizeh et al, 2013;Momeni and Pakizeh, 2013), natural gas sweetening (Bernardo et al, 2009;Peters et al, 2011;Baker and Lokhandwala, 2008), and hydrogen production (Sà et al, 2009;Clem et al, 2006) and can potentially compete with some traditional separation methods in terms of energy requirements and economic costs (Xuezhong and Hägg, 2012).…”

-Matrimid®5218 hollow fiber membranes were prepared using the dry-wet spinning process. The transport properties were measured with pure gases (H 2 , CO 2 , N 2 , CH 4 and O 2 ) and with a mixture (30% CO 2 and 70% N 2 ) in dry and wet conditions at 25 °C, 50 °C, 60 °C and 75 °C and up to 600 kPa. Interesting values of single gas selectivity up to 60 °C (between 31 and 28 for CO 2 /N 2 and between 33 and 30 for CO 2 /CH 4 ) in dry condition were obtained. The separation factor measured for the mixture was 20% lower compared to the single gas selectivity, in the whole temperature range analyzed. In saturation conditions the data showed that water influences the performance of the membranes, inducing a reduction of the permeance of all gases. Moreover, the presence of water caused a decrease of single gas selectivity and separation factor, although not so significant, highlighting the very high water resistance of hollow fiber membrane modules.

“…The cost of the upgrade and the possible compression to natural gas network pressure was found to be 0.17 $/Nm 3 . This value was lower than the price of the international market for natural gas which fluctuates up to 0.55 $/Nm 3 [10]. One of the specific factors affecting biogas upgrading plant is the cost of electricity associated with compression, cooling and pumping.…”

Production of biogas is based on anaerobic digestion of different renewable raw materials including human, animal, agricultural, industrial, and municipal wastes. In addition to methane content, biogas contains carbon dioxide along with water vapor, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and depending on the raw materials siloxane can be present. Thus, different purification and upgrading strategies are necessary in order to enhance the methane content; this review presents some of the upgrading technologies for practical removal of major contaminants in biogas. Recent development in membrane technology with high selectivity and permeability could serve as a boost in search for the most efficient biogas upgrading process capable of meeting the requirements for its use in vehicle fuel as well as incorporation in the natural gas grid. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 34: 1512–1520, 2015
