New developments in anaerobic digestion

In anaerobic digesters for the production of methane gas, from Urban Solid Waste a large amount of Hydrogen Sulfide (SH2) is produced, which acts as a pollutant and, consequently, it is necessary to proceed to desulfurization to optimize the results.

In anaerobic digesters for the production of methane gas, from Urban Solid Waste a large amount of Hydrogen Sulfide (SH2) is produced, which acts as a pollutant and, consequently, it is necessary to proceed to desulfurization to optimize the results.

Amapex has developed a variety of its range of Petronet products that acts as a sequestrant for Hydrogen Sulfide. The direct application of a minimum amount of this product in anaerobic digesters acts as a desulfurization agent, replacing the traditional, more expensive and less efficient methods.

As a consequence of this process, there is also a direct increase in the production of methane gas, of around 10%, thus increasing, in a very important way, the efficiency of the process.
