Compressor equipment for alternative sources of energy

The most widely used method for processing biogas is to burn it in boilers in order to obtain heated water or steam. This requires the use of very large, low pressure, metallic, gas-holders. The most effective use of biogas is as a fuel for domestic transport and for the production of electrical energy. This requires the development of compressor equipment in order to compress the biogas. An experimental PZ-1 treatment station containing a single column and used for the filling of transport vehicle gas cylinders, has been developed at the VNIIcompressormash. Simultaneously, the station can be used to load natural gas.
