Simulation of a biogas cleaning process using different amines

摘要: The use of biogas generated in landfills has gained importance developing countries like Colombia. Taking into account that this presents poor combustion properties make interchangeability with other combustible gases difficult, the elimination and vapors, such as CO2 H2O, through a cleaning process, which is converted to biomethane, improves fuel gas for general use. In work, we simulated generation at El Carrasco sanitary landfill Bucaramanga, using US EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) emissions model. Additionally, process extract remaining moisture ProMax software; this, used three different amines (MDEA, MEA, DEA), followed by glycol dehydration process. results showed amine MEA produced largest increase concentration CH4 (90.37 %) landfill. Furthermore, was an efficient obtain high percentage methane (91.47 low water presence (1.27 %); would allow biomethane conventional industrial processes power generation.
