Biogas Enrichment by Moderate Pressure Scrubbing for Optimum Utilization

The Challenge / Concern: Efficiency of utilization and handling of biogas depends on its methane content. Typical biogas has 35% inert content of primely carbon dioxide. About 65% methane leads to increased handling costs and heavier equipments. . Also, biogas has lower calorific value and lower burn rate due to the inert content. Brief (and …

Low temperature electrification technology having wider compliance for the source temperature

The Challenge / Concern: Low grade heat (water at 70-90oC) is wasted at energy intensive plants. Electrification of such low grade heat is not feasible by conventional routes such as stirling engine, thermoelectric, thermoacoustic etc. A more efficient device was desired which would have lesser dead work and wider compliance for variation in source and …
