Biogas, Sewage Gas, and Landfill Gas:
We get the most out of it!

With over 25 years of industry experience, we are your leading partner for the filtration, conditioning, and drying of biogas, sewage gas, and landfill gas.

Biogas

Biogas plants use materials  such as animal manure or corn silage. During the fermentation process in a fermenter, biogas is produced with a methane content of approximately 60%.

This biogas is contaminated with H2S. Plants using renewable raw materials (NAWARO) or other biomass, such as food waste (co-fermentation), also produce VOCs during fermentation.

Our activated carbon solutions:

  • NAWARO: ACO S, ACO BS, and ACO KOH
  • Co-fermentation: ACO DUO varieties

Sewage gas

Sewage gas, also known as digester gas, is formed during the fermentation process of organic substances in wastewater inside a digester tower of a sewage treatment plant. The methane content in sewage gas is approximately 65%.

Sewage gas is typically contaminated with H2S and silicon, which need to be purified. Compared to biogas, the H2S contamination is significantly lower.

Our activated carbon solutions:

  • ACO DUO varieties
  • ACO SI varieties

Landfill gas

Landfill gas is produced at waste landfills sites, as a result of the fermentation of stored waste, which is decomposed by microorganisms. The methane content in landfill gas is approximately 55%.

Landfill gas can contain various contaminants. Typically, these include VOCs and silicon, as well as H2S in smaller amounts compared to biogas.

Our activated carbon solutions:

  • ACO SI varieties
  • ACO SIRP varieties

Everything starts with a gas analysis

To ensure the efficient and profitable operation of your gas cleaning plant, we recommend starting with a thorough gas analysis. This analysis will identify precise levels of gas contamination and serve as the foundation for our expert consultation. With SILOXA, you can accurately measure hydrogen sulfide (H2S), siloxanes, and VOCs contamination levels, allowing us to recommend the optimal activated carbon solution tailored to your needs.

To the safety data sheets

Affordable activated carbon including replacement and disposal

Let SILOXA help you find the most suitable, effective, and efficient type of activated carbon for the filtration of your installation for the purification of biogas, sewage gas, or landfill gas, as part of the overall cleaning process. We offer a wide range of options, from affordable standard activated carbon to specially developed activated carbon compounds. These high-quality activated carbons can absorb more contaminants and are less prone to self-ignition. Additionally, we provide a complete replacement service where we exchange the old, activated carbon for fresh carbon (either via the plug-in & -out system or on-site) and properly dispose of the spent carbon.

Our activated carbon service includes:

  • Expert advice: Which activated carbon will make your plant operate most efficiently?
  • High-performance or standard activated carbon; we have tailored solutions for every installation.
  • Best prices guarantee: We offer competitive pricing for each quality level.
  • Fast delivery: Whether you choose standard shipping or express delivery, we ensure prompt delivery of your activated carbon.
  • Complete service: We replace activated carbon for all manufacturers' systems and ensure smooth operation.
  • Waste management: let us take care of the proper disposal of your spent carbon.

 

Not sure if your plant is operating efficiently with your current activated carbon? Speak with our experienced advisors for unbiased advice — and use our expertise for your benefit.

Product overview

Gas filtration

Purify your gas from trace contaminants such as H2S, siloxanes, and VOCs with our activated carbon filters. Essential for a stable and cost-effective operation of your biogenic gas cleaning, you can rely on our advanced equipment.

Our solutions:

Gas conditioning

Often, gas cannot be purified cost-effectively, because it does not have the right  properties and composition (e.g., high water content). Our gas conditioning systems prepare gas for downstream purification, ensuring it is optimally processed for efficient use in gas engines.

Our solutions:

Gas drying

Gas drying removes water vapor from gas, making it a specific form of gas conditioning. Find all information about our cost-effective and efficient gas drying systems for biogas, sewage gas, and landfill gas.

Good to know

What type of activated carbon do I need for my plant?

Based on a simple gas analysis, we establish the right solution for the efficient operation of your gas plant. Benefit from our experience and obtain a free consultation today!

Why does SILOXA prefer to discuss activated carbon in liters and not in kg?

Our market-leading activated carbon filters, have a maximum filling capacity in liters. To ensure your filter is always at optimal performance, our  high-quality activated carbon is measured and delivered in liters, not kilograms. The same applies for filters supplied by other manufacturers.

Why is high-quality activated carbon so light?

The lower the specific weight of activated carbon (in g/l or kg/m³), the higher the pore volume of the activated carbon. A high pore volume means a lager contact surface, which leads to better purification. High pore volume is a quality characteristic of high-quality activated carbon.
